What BS/MD Programs Mean to Many of Dr. Lowe’s Clients

For parents of my clients who immigrated to the US, higher education is a symbol of upward mobility, a life-altering path to meaningful careers and financial stability. A medical degree, specifically one obtained through a direct BS/MD program, is a definitive path to becoming a medical doctor.

“The future depends on what you do today.” – Mahatma Gandhi

For many of my client-families, education is an important means to achieve the four aims of human life, namely dharma (virtue), artha (wealth), k**a (pleasure) and moksha (liberation). Vidya or education is the means by which an individual can gain the right knowledge, control his desires and learn to perform his obligatory duties.

Dr. Paul Lowe and his team of admissions experts help many of his clients successfully attain this career track while in high school through BS/MD Admissions Advisors. It is one of the reasons why he has been in practice for 28 years.

For H-4 high school students, this means that they will be U.S. medical doctors – an immigration benefit, in addition to the job security.

“As an admissions expert, I am always cognizant of the unforeseen circumstances and unfavorable consequences that may adversely affect my clients’ positive outcomes. Because of our vigilance and comprehensive strategies, my clients are ACCEPTED into BS/MD programs as well as Ivy League and competitive colleges and universities with superior pre-med programs.” – Dr. Paul Lowe

How Does Dr. Lowe Help His Clients Achieve Admissions Success?

As a Jamaican-born (U.S. raised), Black Ivy-trained physician-scientist, entrepreneur, educator, musician and farmer, my understanding of the use of knowledge networks, empirical analytics, economics, and history, the focus on excellence, the embracing of a trusted and supportive tribe, and confidence in who you are, I believe, are catalytic elements that help you successfully navigate seemingly insurmountable challenges which are continuous, and at times, camouflaged and indiscernible...but always the norm.

Being different and understanding differences help my U. S. as well as international clients stand out and get accepted to top U.S. boarding schools, Ivy League and highly selective colleges and universities, BS/MD programs and medical schools.

Congratulations to Our Clients - Albany Medical College Application Notifications

Congratulations to our clients who have received secondary applications from Albany Medical College!

What does this mean regarding the Application Process: Rensselaer reviewed their Common Applications (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute/Albany Medical College - Accelerated Physician-Scientist Combined BS/MD Program) and now has referred them, as qualified students, to Albany Medical College (AMC), which will then review the secondary applications and reach out to certain students for an interview (in January, February, or March).

From that pool of students, AMC will make offers of admission to the program. The application process is lengthy and notification begins in early April.

For our clients, in this highly selective process, it's one step closer to being accepted into a top direct combined BS/MD program and the goal of becoming medical doctors!

SUNY Polytechnic Institute-Upstate Medical Center Abruptly Closes UAS BS/MD Program

SUNY Polytechnic Institute has informed (2023) applicants that SUNY Upstate Medical University, its affiliated medical school with the BS/MD program “has made the decision to conclude the Upstate Accelerated Scholarship program to new applicants effective immediately.”

SUNY Upstate Medical University and SUNY Polytechnic had an established partnership to form the Upstate Accelerated Scholars Program (UAS).

Since the SUNY Polytechnic Institute will no longer be accepting applicants, the competition to gain admissions into BS/MD programs will now increase because there will be fewer programs.

Now it has become even more competitive as more BS/MD programs have closed and the number slots are dwindling!

We recommend that high school juniors and their parents read our blog as we expect more closures: “High School Juniors-Time To Get Serious About BS/MD Plans – 2023”

With our Admissions Data Analytic software, our proprietary knowledge, 27 years of experience and our vast network and contacts, we provide an ADMISSIONS ADVANTAGE for our clients resulting in acceptance letters! Because of our proprietary software, we know that no other educational consulting company can provide this type of advantage!

That’s what makes us DIFFERENT! – RESULTS!

Our clients experience our DIFFERENCE and are accepted to Ivy League and highly selective colleges and universities, BS/MD programs including, Brown PLME, RPI/Albany Med, Siena/Albany Med, TCNJ/New Jersey Medical, University of Rochester/REMS, Texas Tech UMSI, NJIT/New Jersey Medical, Virginia Commonwealth U/Guaranteed Admission Program, Penn State/Jefferson Medical College, Seton Hall/Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine, UConn – Special Program in Medicine.

So, your child has decided to apply to BS/MD programs and you, as a parent, don’t want to make mistakes that can cause instant REJECTIONS (after years of hard work). You want to hire an experienced and qualified admissions consultant/advisor who can increase your chances of ACCEPTANCE. What’s next?

Here is a checklist of questions to help you decide why Dr. Paul Lowe and his team at BS/MD Admissions Advisors are the best:

1. BS/MD Admissions Experience
• How many years has the consultant advised applicants applying to BS/MD programs? Experience is important! We have over 20 years of experience! We specialize in providing comprehensive consulting on all facets of the BS/MD application not just hourly help on individual elements of the application. (Since BS/MD admissions rates are under 10%, it’s important to get comprehensive help on the whole application and the admissions process.)
• Does the consultant firm have graduates of BS/MD programs with admissions advisory experience? Yes. Several of our supporting team are graduates of BS/MD programs. Dr. Cartwright-Lowe, senior consultant and managing director is a graduate of Brown PLME.
• Has anyone in your consulting firm worked in an allopathic (MD) medical school admissions office or BS/MD program? Experience working in a medical school admissions office is probably the most important factor as no one in the field knows more about admissions than individuals who have worked in the admissions offices of the medical schools to which you will be applying. Our supportive admissions officer team members have served on the admissions committees for BS/MD programs.
• Does the consultant work full-time as an admissions consultant? This is all we do! One-hundred percent of our time is spent as admissions advisors. We are NOT medical residents or doctors who are part-time admissions advisors. Providing admissions advice is our full-time job!
• Does the consultant visit university and BS/MD programs? We continually visit colleges and universities with BS/MD programs. We are not office-bound. We continually visit universities to network with admissions officers to understand the changes in individual BS/MD program admissions policies and to discover what they are looking for in applicants to benefit our clients.
2. Application & Essay Editing
• Does the person editing your application, personal statement and essays have experience in reviewing and rating thousands of medical school applications, personal statements and essays? Dr. Lowe has experience reviewing thousands of college applications, personal statements and BS/MD essays for over 20 years. In addition, he works with a team of former admissions officers who work closely and collectively with him who have the knowledge of what admissions committees are looking for in applications and personal statements. We know what to add and cut out in your applications and essays!
• How many times do you review your applications and essays? As a committee, Dr. Lowe and his team review applications and essays at least 10 times and send at least 4 revisions to clients.

3. Methodology and Communication
• Does the consultant have a clear methodology for determining your unique positioning strategy or narrative and for driving the entire process? We work closely with each client, using our knowledge experience and contacts in the field to ensure that our clients are competitive and unique. This gives our clients and added advantage!
• Do I work with several different consultants or one consultant? You work personally, individually and directly with Dr. Paul Lowe, physician-scientist and admissions advisor. He uses a team-based approach with his associates to help his clients. We use a committee-based approach to determine the correct strategies for our clients.

4. International Students
• Does the consultant provide services for international students? We specialize in providing comprehensive consulting on all facets of the BS/MD application for (non-U.S. permanent residents/ non-U.S. citizens). There are only a limited number of U.S. BS/MD programs that even consider international student applicants. Therefore, trying this process on your own or with an inexperienced admissions expert will certainly have you REJECTED!
• How does the consultant provide admissions advisory services to international students who live abroad? We continually and conveniently communicate through Skype, email and phone.

5. Cost and Clients Served
• How does the cost of the consultant compare to other consultants? You get what you pay for! An inexpensive consultant means inexpensive service. Be careful about companies that offer hourly services at too low a cost. We have been in business for over 20 years because of our success rates. Our fee is an academic investment for future success.
• Is the consultant someone in demand nationally who works with students across the entire country? We work with students throughout the U.S. (and the world). Dr. Paul Lowe is truly in demand. He works with clients and helps them gain admissions to BS/MD programs including: Brown PLME, RPI/Albany Med, Case Western, Penn State, Union College/Albany Med, University of Rochester, TCNJ, NJIT, Rice/Baylor, Stony Brook, SUNY Downstate and more.

High School Juniors: Time to Get Serious About BS/MD Plans - 2023

At BS/MD Admissions, Dr. Paul Lowe and his team of advisors 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!

If you are a high school junior or your son or daughter is a high school junior and you are thinking about applying to direct BS/MD programs, it’s time to get really serious about either planning or implementing your plans.

Most students (even with the help of their parents) read books, look at videos or visit college forum-type websites which they believe may provide personalized answers for them.

Many parents who call us (and whose children are performing the above and have the below profile profile) then believe that their child is a shoo-in for BS/MD programs and just need “some” advice.

Here is the typical BS/MD applicant-student profile of students when parents contact us:

• GPA: 3.9 (UW) 4.6
• ACT: 35
• SAT: 1580
• APs: usually 10 -14 classes
• Honors/Awards: several
• Teacher/Counselor Recommendations: Excellent
• Resume: 2-3 pages
• Volunteer: Several organizations
• Shadowed Doctors: 2-3
• Extracurricular Activities: Several
• Published a paper: 1-2
• Laboratory Research: Participated and/or possibly published
With all of the above you would believe that this student will definitely be accepted – WRONG! This is only half of the equation!

Here’s a list of factors by admissions expert, Dr. Paul Lowe that you should consider if you are a junior seriously thinking about applying to BS/MD programs.
1. Student CHARACTER – Personality counts! What’s your “je ne sais quoi”?
2. The HOOK – If you don’t have a hook, the admissions committee will not grab you!
3. The STORY – It’s all about the story and how it’s framed and presented! No good story, no acceptance! Certain rejection!
4. Common Application: PERSONAL STATEMENT – Meaningful, well-written and convincing personal statement needed. No flow, harmony, tone combined with gravitas – rejection!
5. COLLEGE-SPECIFIC SUPPLEMENTALS – You must complement and synergize your supplementals with your personal statement. All the school-specific essays are important, even the 50 word-count answers! Students have been rejected because of mistakenly using one word or a sentence in 50 word-count essays!
6. COLLEGE-SPECIFIC-BS/MD ESSAYS – The “Why doctor essay?” “I want to help people”. Everyone in the service industry does that!
7. COLLEGE APPLICATION VIDEO ESSAY – Schools are seriously viewing these videos. Brown PLME application includes an optional video.
8. The effective and bold RESUME – It’s not just about a 2–3-page resume with lots of research and extracurricular activities which is just a list. It has to be framed correctly or it looks boring and generic!
9. EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES – Are your extracurricular activities meaningless or meaningful? Do they really interconnect to your student profile in a meaningful way? Have you become the jack-of-all extracurricular activities? The master of none? Are you a drive-by extracurricular activities person?
10. VOLUNTEERISM – It’s not just about tutoring underprivileged children, participating in an ESVE (Expensive Summer Volunteer Activity) or starting your own nonprofit organization. There is more to volunteering than just volunteering!!!
11. WOW FACTOR – What’s your WOW Factor? How and when can you use it to WOW admissions? You want the admissions committee to say “WOW! We want this applicant on our campus.”
12. INTERVIEWS – You may seemingly be all that on paper; grades, SATs recommendations, volunteering to save the world, 1000 hours of shadowing, however, one incorrect word or statement in an interview results in a rejection – That’s right, just one!
13. ETIQUETTE – Think that doesn’t matter? Think that’s old-school? Think again! Are you mindful of how you present yourself and how people perceive you? It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it! Etiquette matters! We provide personalized etiquette strategies for our clients.
14. MANNERS – When you say something (or write something) what counts is not what you mean but how you are heard and perceived. Are you mindful of your manners? Manners matters! Do you know when or if you sound rude, pretentious, impolite, disrespectful, unrefined or uncultured?
15. WHO ARE YOU? – What are your values? What do you stand for? Can you define you? Why are you different?
16. DIVERSITY – What’s your diversity intelligence? What’s the meaning of diversity to you? It’s not just a word to be used throughout an essay. It’s not just about being a member of your school’s diversity club. Colleges seek students who truly understand the meaning of diversity. Diversity matters!
17. UNCONSCIOUS BIAS – It may occur at any time, at any level or at any stage during your admissions process. Can you identify it? How must you successfully deal with it? How do you overcome it for successful admissions decisions?
18. UNIVERSITY PRIORITIES – Colleges are not accepting applicants for just top grades and their perceived amazing resumes and achievements; they are continually adjusting and building diverse campus communities and future global networks based on geopolitics, geo-economics and their financials. School admissions policies and institutional priorities change year to year and region to region to match their goals. What makes you believe that you know these policies and priorities better than a boutique admissions firm that has superior access to current information and admissions trends?
19. The KNOW-HOW. So, you really believe it’s just (1-18)? You need the Know How: How do you do the right-things the right-way and with the right-people at the right-time? Our proprietary-knowledge, unmatched experience, admissions success and years of close working relationships with admissions professionals ensures that you do it right!

So, you really believe that factors 13-18 are unimportant? Think again!

If you know how to plan, develop and implement (1-19) and how they are used in BS/MD admissions – that’s wonderful!!! But if you don’t, there is an increased probability that you (and your child) will make irrevocable mistakes that will cause instant rejections to all schools. Would you want this to happen after your years of planning as a parent and your child’s hard work?

The parents who retain Dr. Paul Lowe and his team of consultants may take risks in business and investments, but not risks in their children’s educational future – to become a medical doctor. The ones who do take risks in their children’s education – 95% of them bet WRONG!
