Your Personal Brand Matters for Admissions

Your Personal Brand in Admissions Matters

It is essential to accurately convey your personal brand in order to be accepted into an elite boarding school, Ivy League college/university, a direct BS/MD program or a top medical school.  Consider the following questions.

  1. How do you create and convey a distinct and memorable impression?
  2. How do you define the incomparable you?
  3. How do you persuade others to recognize the authentic irreplaceable value you will bring to an educational institution?
  4. How do you ensure that the admissions profile you create is about the unique you?
  5. How do you successfully communicate your personal brand to admissions committees?
  6. How do you avoid creating the wrong impression that will cause instant rejection?
  7. How do you assess your unique attributes in comparison to your peers?
  8. Do you know how people who don’t know you feel about you?
  9. Are you aware of the subliminal messages about yourself that you impart to people, verbally and/or non-verbally (body language)?

The informed responses to all these questions are the key to why MY clients are accepted.

It Takes Admissions Intelligence To Be Accepted Into Your First-Choice Schools

Admissions Intelligence Dr Paul Lowe

WE HAVE WHAT YOU’RE LOOKING FOR – ADMISSIONS INTELLIGENCE

It takes ADMISSIONS INTELLIGENCE to successfully navigate the uncertainty and challenges of an admissions process, whether you are striving to be admitted into elite boarding schools, Ivy League colleges/universities, top direct BS/MD programs or top medical schools!

Knowing that the admissions environment changes every year, rather than relying on old data, outdated books, antiquated information and tips from chatting with others (“adda”, as it is known in some circles among my clients), you should choose an experienced admissions expert to help.

ADMISSIONS INTELLIGENCE requires knowledge-intelligence, insight, foresight, vision, predictive analytics, an insider’s knowledge, collaboration, relationships, trust, contacts and networks!

You want to hire a firm where the CEO/lead admissions advisor works DIRECTLY with you and has the experience to help you STAND OUT amongst other applicants!

How to Get Into Medical School After You’ve Been Rejected

Many students believe that to be a competitive medical school applicant you need to:

  • Do well in your courses,
  • Do well on your MCAT.
  • Take full course
  • Shadow multiple physicians
  • Engage in research.
  •  Serve regularly in meaningful ways in your community.
  • Gain hands-on patient care experiences
  • Obtain glowing letters of recommendations
  • Completed applications and essays

If it were that easy to be accepted, then everyone who applied would be accepted into medical school.  Every year, over 50,000 students apply to medical school, but 60% are rejected!  Statistics from the Association of American Medical Colleges reveal that about 17,000 more applicants sought admission to a U.S. med school during the 2021-2022 school year than nine years prior, a nearly 38% increase.

Here are reasons why more students being rejected:

  • Increase number of medical school applicants
  • Greater scrutiny of medical school applications
  • Mistakes on medical school applications
  • Low GPA
  • Low MCAT scores
  • Poor letters of recommendation
  • Poor or lack of advice

Here’s what you need to do if you have been rejected and will be reapplying:

  • Develop a winning narrative as to why you desire to and are committed to becoming a doctor.
  • Your application is not just about high MCAT scores and GPA, it’s about the interconnectedness of all parts.
  • Re-evaluate your medical school list based on your “best chance” schools
  • Re-evaluate your medical school application. Is it admissions ready?
  • Hire a medical school admissions advisor/expert who understands the re-application process and has the track record of helping students who are re-applying to be admitted.

Dr. Paul Lowe provides exclusive and specialized medical school admissions advisory services to U.S. and international students, including post-baccalaureate program and non-traditional applicants. In 2023, twenty-six (26) of our client-applicants were accepted to allopathic (MD) U.S. medical schools.

U.S. BS/MD vs. India MBBS

Your_BS_MD_Admissions_GAME_PLAN_Dr_Paul_Lowe

US_BS_MD_vs_India_MBBS_Dr_Paul_Lowe_Admissions_Advisor_Independent_Educational_Consultant

“Your BS/MD Admissions Game Plan” is a blog series created by Dr. Paul Lowe that discusses BS/MD Admissions.  With such a competitive environment and the immeasurable value and benefits of BS/MD programs, the need for an admissions game plan is ESSENTIAL.

At BS/ MD Admissions, we discern that many students and parents are clueless about what to do, when to do it, where to do it, who to contact, and why do it.  They fail to discover what they are doing that’s wrong, or they discover what they’ve been doing is wrong when it’s too late!


U.S. BS/MD vs. India MBBS

Several of the parents who have called me for BS/MD programs who are of Indian (Asian) heritage, because of the competitive nature of BS/MD program medical school admissions, have been asking me about comparing U.S. BS/MD vs India MBBS degree and is there an advantage to a U.S. BS/MD.

First let’s define the degrees: Doctor of Medicine (MD) is a professional (post graduate) degree given in some countries like the USA, Canada etc. Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) is the degree given in the United Kingdom, Ireland and other commonwealth countries like India and is considered equivalent to the MD.  MBBS is an undergraduate course which is pursued by candidates who wish to make their career in the field of medicine. Whereas, MD is a postgraduate course that can be pursued by candidates who have completed their MBBS.

For the Commonwealth countries, MBBS is an undergraduate course of study which is pursued by candidates who wish to make their career in the field of medicine. Whereas, MD is a postgraduate course that can be pursued by candidates who have completed their MBBS.

The US follows a different curriculum for obtaining a medical degree and license to practice Medicine. Unlike India, high school students apply to direct BS/MD programs (6, 7 or 8 years) earn an M.D. upon completion of the program. Over the course of the program, the students have a Pre-Medical courses and earn a Bachelor’s degree (up to four years of Undergraduate program), MD program (Four years) and USMLE (United States Medical Licensing Examination Step 1, 2 & 3). A Residency Program is required to complete the Licensing Exam. After completing all, a student is conferred with a license to practice medicine in the US.

What’s the biggest advantage of BS/MD? In most cases, you are guaranteed acceptance into the medical program and in some cases (6- or 7-year programs) you become a doctor at 24 or 25 years old.  This is potentially very important to students who are clear about their educational goals.  Another advantage is that it relieves stress on the student in having to take the MCATs and going through the rigorous medical school admissions process with the uncertainty that they will be accepted to medical school.

In the US, a student after completion of MBBS cannot practice directly since the basic level of study to practice is postgraduate medicine in the US. USMLE has clearly defined the medical courses after MBBS to be completed in the US.

What’s the main advantage of a U.S. BS/MD program?

  • High school student can now figuratively be called Doctor by their parents!
  • Time savings: some BS/MD programs are 6 or 7 years,
  • In many cases, no need for additional entrance exams like the MCATs.
  • For international students (for some BS/MD program), it’s a direct path to working as a licensed medical doctor in the U.S.
