Response based on the EDUCOM recommendation: selection before the final year, start of the application process in September, and approximately two months for thorough preparation.

It is quite possible to apply in several countries !

But be careful: the procedure will not be the same from one country to the other. It is very important before you start applying to have a clear overall strategy in mind so you can identify the volume of work required and make sure that it is compatible with the school workload.

At EDUCOM, we help you draw up a detailed schedule of all the stages so that you will have enough time to prepare a high-quality application without stress.

University coaching is designed to identify the right universities according to the student's profile.

Every request is studied in depth so we can be sure that there is a realistic strategy and to obtain as many offers as possible !

Everyone dreams of going to Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, or Yale… but not everyone has the academic profile required to study in these universities… The aim is to find the university(ies) that matches the student’s potential and their individual needs.

The next step is to validate the admission criteria with the student :

• The level of English required.
• The key subjects in their curriculum.
• The required predicted grade.

Finally, EDUCOM will help the student showcase their academic record via a personal statement or cover letter. No matter the bachelor’s degree – in business, art history, biotechnology, or sociology – our role is to prompt students to develop their ideas in a coherent and meaningful way so that it reads smoothly and makes an impact.

We recommend waiting until the age of 16 before doing a vocational guidance.

Students have a better understanding of themselves and have the maturity needed to think about their future.

The student’s commitment and motivation are vital for a successful vocational guidance. As the time for making the choice draws near, students feel directly concerned and will put in the energy needed to back up their thinking and concretely explore the suggested ideas.

Based on our experience, the best time to do this is in the penultimate year of school. The study choice is close enough to be concrete for the student, while still having plenty time to plan the admission process without stress.

Nevertheless, it is important to listen to the student; indeed, some pupils feel the need even beforehand to make plans and find a sense of purpose in their studies.

The review can also be carried out once the student has finished their schooling so that they can choose a new direction or decide on the path of their master’s degree.

The process takes the form of three, one-hour interviews, generally spread over a period of two to three weeks.

The spacing of the sessions is important to give the student enough time to stand back and think things over.

The sessions take place by videocall or face-to-face in our offices (in Nyon, Switzerland).

At the end of the three sessions, the student is given a summary report that presents all their results together with EDUCOM's recommendations.
