What Our Clients Are Saying About Us

If you really want to know how YOU can benefit from our services, see what our clients are saying...

"Dr. Paul Lowe and his educational consultant team provided an essential objective approach to the college application process. Stress was minimized as Dr. Lowe was able to help our daughter crystallize her thoughts, focus her essay and clarify the theme of her essay. His encouragement engaged her so that she was able to actively identify those qualities that she wanted to demonstrate in her essay. Her prep school English teacher as well as the college advisors who read the initial essay draft did not understand the process as well as Dr. Lowe, nor did they put the time and effort into working with our child that Dr. Lowe did. Dr. Lowe's approach is constructive and tailored to the individual student and the circumstances."

"Dr. Lowe also made it very clear that the application was not limited to THE essay - the short answer questions he taught us were equally important. Perhaps they were more important since so many applicants only pay close attention to the main essay.

"Dr. Lowe's knowledge of resume organization and optimization enhanced its impact. He knows what to emphasize and what to put high on the list. By maximizing key elements of the resume, our daughter's resume was clearly improved. It became organized and we believe made it easy for the admissions officers to appreciate components of the resume that might have otherwise gone undetected.

"Dr. Lowe's emotional support and encouragement are key to a successful application process. As the process progressed, when Dr. Lowe said something to our daughter it was taken as gospel (of course if we uttered the same advice, it was ignored or ridiculed). Dr. Lowe's advice is individual and since he is a private consultant he needs only to be concerned with the individual student. What many of us who have children in private school have learned is that the college advisors must look at the class as a whole. One may question whether the college advisors' interests are always aligned with an individual student. When, however, one hires a private consultant like BHA that unspoken or whispered rumor becomes a non-issue.

"Dr. Lowe is the guru of college admissions - he knows how to discover your child's strengths and couple them with his or her accomplishments to make the college application outstanding. When Dr.Lowe is finished working with your child and the application has been mailed, you can rest assured that the best possible package has been submitted.

'Without reservation we endorse BHA Education Consultants and have recommended their services to friends and colleagues who have high school age children. "

- Parent of a College Freshman, Westchester County, NY

"Dear Dr. Lowe. I got into Brown! Thank you. When my college counselor at (a private school) said Brown was a dream school last year, you believed in me. Thank you for believing in me and keeping me focused on my dream."

- High School Senior, Fairfield County, CT

"Hi Dr. Lowe. We are grateful for your patience, understanding, guidance and continuous support through the grueling college application process. We appreciate your honesty, candor and humor. We highly recommend your service to any parent whose child is seriously considering applying to an Ivy League or competitive school. Our family thanks you so much."

- Parents of a High School Senior, Fairfield County, CT

"We thought we knew it all. How times have changed! Both my husband and I are Brown graduates from the early 70's. Our daughter is a top student at her high school. We attended your informative seminar in New York. We listened to the acceptance/rejection statistics in top schools and your suggestions during the Q and A session. After speaking to a few alumni friends about you, we decided that our daughter needed that - personal competitive advantage' you are always talking about. After our first meeting we were impressed and discovered even more things we did not know about college admissions and specifically how it applies to our daughter. Your insight, knowledge, attention to detail, and ability to connect all the dots is awesome."

- Parents of a High School Junior, Manhattan, NY

"As a finance person, I have always considered education as big future expense. So when I first heard about your service through an associate at my firm, I initially thought of cost. With three children in private schools, education is a major expense. When I asked you why I should pay your fees and your response was that education is not only an expenditure but also an investment that holds its value over time and appreciates in value, I knew then as I know now that we hired the best private college counselor. Choosing a school that best suits one's future is not as simple as just making a list. Your knowledge of the qualities and intricacies of top schools helped our children to choose schools which best suit them. In addition, you recognized the differences in our children which has been key in helping them discover their strengths. I consider your fees, money well spent!"

- Parent of a High School Freshman, Junior, and Senior, Greenwich, CT

"Our son's high school counselor attempted to discourage us from using your services. I am glad we did not listen. We appreciate your emphasis on family. It is important to the admissions process and believe it or not, your approach has brought us much closer together! You clarified our son's academic challenges as well as his creativity and individual talents. Our son's grades and self-confidence have improved and we attribute that to you. Thank you for enlightening us and bringing us closer together."

- Parents of a High School Sophomore, Darien, CT

"I first learned about you when a friend gave me a copy of your newsletter. I was initially skeptical as I thought why should I pay for a service that's already provided by my son's high school counselor? Your home consultation visits and quick responses by phone and e-mail, even during the weekends and evenings, demonstrated your energy and commitment to spending time working with us. I am discovering that we are more prepared and better informed than most parents going through this college applications journey."

- Parent of a High School Junior, Scarsdale, NY

"Our local school system has been undergoing major changes. When our daughter mentioned that she rarely met with her guidance counselor, last year, we knew we needed help. Thank you for the personalized attention, for your invaluable advice on essay writing, SAT preparation and scheduling, college selection and most important, thank you for caring."

- Parent of a High School Junior, Woodbridge, CT

"Dear Dr. Lowe. I cannot thank you enough for all your expert, attentive, and astute advice with regard to our daughter's application. Our meetings were always fruitful, creative and lively. Your perseverance to ensure that our daughter's true self could shine through to the colleges was apparent to us in every meting. We so appreciate your dedication and thoughtfulness. The day she received her acceptance letters to the Ivy League College of her choice was a thrill we will never forget. Thank you so much to you and your staff."
