Stuyvesant High School New York Accepted Clients

April 4, 2025April 14, 2025 ~ drpaulloweadmissionsexpert

Over the past 10 years, MANY parents of students who attend Stuyvesant High School have contacted us regarding our Ivy League admissions advisory services. Dr. Paul Lowe and his team have worked (and continue to work) with students from Stuyvesant!

Despite the fact that Stuyvesant is one of the top specialized high schools in New York City, MANY parents contact Dr. Lowe because they mentioned that school counselors are unable to provide continuous weekly or biweekly individualized comprehensive college admissions advisory services for their children.

We are happy to report that parents from Stuyvesant High School decided to hire us so that their children are accepted to their first-choice schools – Ivy League colleges and universities.

Town & Country’s – This Year’s College Admissions Horror Show – Dr. Paul Lowe’s Comment

Town & Country's - This Year's College Admissions Horror Show - Dr. Paul Lowe Comment

May 2, 2022May 3, 2022 ~ drpaulloweadmissionsexpert

The article in Town & Country: “This Year’s College Admissions Horror Show” by Nicole Laporte discusses rejections and this year’s college admissions cycle.

Here are some statements in article:

“Certain private schools that used to have incredible admissions results have just been obliterated.”
“Classmates who’d also applied for early decision to the school were flat-out rejected.”
“For that [college admissions decisions] to be a bloodbath is not a good sign.”
“Although the main derby of admissions, “regular” decision, was still weeks away—those results started coming out in late March—the disheartening verdicts of the early rounds for many families this past season felt like a harbinger of what was to come, as well as confirmation of just how much more angst-ridden the reality of getting into college has become.”
“….parents suddenly feel a bit, well, helpless, unable to control something that was, if not controllable, then at least easier to game.”

But even under these conditions, our firm had AMAZING acceptances! In fact, several of our clients were accepted to multiple Ivy League and highly selective colleges and universities and 97% acceptance into BS/MD programs.

How did we do it?

WE ARE THE BEST!: We embrace Empirical Analytics by using data science, technology, client-case studies, campus-expert panels, our specialized knowledge, insight foresight, and over 23 years of experience to answer questions, navigate challenges, predict outcomes, and to help our clients make informed decisions that provide results-based admissions SUCCESS.

College Application Decision: Rejected? Now What?

It’s decision season! We are sure that you have seen the videos of seniors (with their parents) screaming and shouting when they have been accepted into their first-choice colleges.

But for every celebratory online posting, there are thousands of disappointed students (and parents) who are rejected from the same schools. You should not assume that you will be admitted to the Ivies and highly selective colleges just by being a great student with top grades. In the increasingly competitive admissions environment, you need to have a competitive edge.

Getting into Ivy League and highly selective colleges and universities and BS/MD programs is fiercely competitive. For 2022, rejection rates for the Ivies demonstrate this:

Harvard: 96.91%
Yale: 95.54%
Columbia: 96.3%
Dartmouth: 93.76%
Brown: 95.5%
UPenn: 95.6%
Princeton: 96%
Cornell: 92%

So, what do you do if you are a top student in your high school class and were rejected from your top choice schools that you really wanted to attend? It’s not all over! You should start to think about reapplying for entrance in your sophomore year…NOW! There is still an opportunity to gain acceptance as a reapplicant. College Application Rejected | Transfer to Ivy Leagues | College Transfer Admissions Advisors.

First and foremost, you should continue to maintain your grades because your target (reapplication) schools will be reviewing your entire high school transcript. You should also begin to develop a new summer narrative and plan your freshman year (as a transfer student). You have to develop an improved student profile and narrative as a freshman. Remember, as a reapplicant you will not have the guidance of a school counselor (public school) or college counselor (private school) during this type of admissions process. YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN!.

We are experienced in working with students from their high school senior year through April of the college year. Last year, we worked with students who were rejected from Ivy League and highly selective college and universities and upon reapplication were accepted. It’s called our SECOND CHANCE strategy!

Second_Chance_Strategy_Dr_Paul_Lowe_Admissions_Advisor_Educational_Consultant — **Dr. Lowe and his team believe in SECOND CHANCES! As a parent, shouldn’t you?**

Proven_Results_Dr_Paul_Lowe_Admissions_Advisor_Educational_Consultant — Many parents hire educational consultants in an attempt to maximize their children’s chances of admissions. Our clients retain Dr. Lowe and his team because of their **PROVEN RESULTS**.

Based on our research and discussions with directors/deans of admissions and admissions officers, regular decision applicants will be receiving their decision notifications in March and early April. It will be another highly competitive year!

Ivy League and highly selective colleges are already reporting a surge in regular decision applications. The reason for this dramatic increase is likely multifactorial. Perhaps, this is primarily because many students who took gap years and are now applying. Additionally, more international students are applying and the prestige and brand of elite colleges is more coveted in a market of uncertainty. Add to these facts many colleges have accelerated planned changes their standardized testing requirements since the start of the pandemic, which has encouraged more high school seniors to apply.

WHAT HAS BEEN THE RESULT? Harvard surged by 42% to 57,000 applicants, Brown surged by 26% to 46,469 applicants and Princeton surged by 15% to 37,000 applicants. The increase in applications has affected the highly competitive schools as well as the institutions that top students usually considered “safety schools”. NYU surged by 20% to 100,000 applicants, UCLA surged by 28% to 139,000 applicants and Colgate surged by 102% to 17,392 applicants (last year Colgate had 8,582 applicants).

Ivy_League_Applications_2021_Dr_Paul_Lowe_Admissions_Advisor_Independent_Educational_Consultant

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? Within a month or so high school seniors will begin to discover, after all their hard work that they will be accepted, wait-listed or rejected. In this case, many will be rejected! Specifically, based on our projections, over 95% of students who applied to the Ivies will be rejected!

Class of 2024 Total Admissions Rates

April 1, 2020April 1, 2020 ~ drpaulloweadmissionsexpert

It’s April and all the Ivies and highly competitive colleges and universities have notified applicants of their decisions. Even with the COVID-19 pandemic, college admissions offices are in operation. For some of the Ivies and selective colleges the admissions rates have slightly increased. The reality is that even with these small increases, it’s still hyper-competitive to gain admissions to these schools. For example, Harvard’s admit rate was 4.9%, up from 4.6% last year. However, the 4.9% indicates that 1,980 applicants were admitted of the 40,248 who applied or 38,368 (95.4%) applicants were rejected! Yale’s admit rate was 6.54% up from 5.91% last year. Therefore, the 5.1% represents 2,304 accepted applicants of the 35,220 who applied or 32,916 (94.8%) applicants who were rejected.

The coronavirus pandemic may have disrupted college tours, SAT test dates, and high school in-person classes, but not college admissions activity! The fundamentals of college committee assessment and selection are the same: they will be selecting the best students who will be contributing to their individual college communities and mission.

If you are a high school junior and will start the application process in 6 months, admissions committees will be evaluating your applications! You should prepare accordingly!

Here are this year’s total admissions rates for Ivy League and some of the highly selective colleges and universities (last year’s rates are in red):

Boston College: 24% | 27.1%
Boston University: 18.5% | 18%
Bowdoin College: 8.3% | 8.9%
Brown University: 6.9% | 6.6%
