Getting into one of the Ivy League plus colleges or top BS/MD programs has at times been referred to as a “blood sport” among parents who want the best education for their children.
To make a final admission decision to admit an applicant, admissions officers look for distinctive qualities that set a candidate apart in the application pool such as an exceptional academic achievement, a meaningful contribution, a special talent, or an authentic voice. “That authentic voice comes through in essays and interviews,” states Dr. Lowe.
Dr Lowe attends conferences and meetings at schools, making himself known to admissions officers and deans of admissions at his client’s top choice schools. He is continuously aware that schools are not looking for well-rounded students and they are looking for well-rounded student bodies specific to a school’s incoming class.
Ninety percent of applicants are academically qualified for admissions to these highly competitive colleges and programs. So, the question becomes to admissions committees, who is the person? Who are we admitting? What does this person add to this incoming class? Admissions officers read between the lines and that’s where the discussion usually starts. It’s not just about GPA’s, test scores and extracurricular activities. It’s also about avoiding and explaining red flags that appear in an application. Additionally, Dr. Lowe answers those questions by developing winning admissions profile as well as understanding what schools are looking for in real-time.
One year, after one of my seminars, I overheard a high school counselor state that “hiring private counselor is a joke.” Really? That year, my client, who was ranked number 16 in the school counselor’s school, was accepted to Brown PLME, Yale, Harvard and Princeton. The valedictorian, salutatorian and other top students were not admitted to any Ivy or even a BS/MD program! My track record and admissions success speak to what I do – RESULTS!
