Please contact us at if you cannot find an answer to your question.
We are a college consulting service that prides itself in delivering personal attention. Whether your aim is to establish yourself as an excellent high school candidate for the most competitive colleges or to seek guidance on developing an academic and career trajectory, Encore can help every step of the way.
This preliminary meeting is an excellent opportunity for families to learn more about our approach, philosophy and personality and for us to understand your values and expectations. We want you to feel comfortable in knowing that Encore's services will meet your needs. However, please note that this first meeting is not designed to answer questions or offer advice about a student’s specific case for admission. Such insights are part of Encore’s paid service and to offer specifics before fully knowing our students would not be in their best interest. For college applicants, a parent is required on the call. It is, however, not necessary for students to be on the call.
Many of our clients are international, so we are accustomed to working virtually through any number of online conferencing platforms (Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google, Skype, Facetime) However, if we are based in your hometown, then in-person meetings are also possible.
For each student we set up a virtual portfolio that includes a carefully crafted timeline with targets and benchmarks. We work with students and families in setting admission related goals and producing the best application materials possible.
Our expertise lies in assisting those wanting to study internationally, we are proud to say we work with all students no matter their academic goals. At Encore we understand everyone has their own set of circumstances and ambitions. This is why we provide a variety of admissions related services.
Parents are integral to the college application process. During the counseling period there will be multiple occasions for parents to join the meetings and contribute to the discussion. At Encore, we believe applying to college is a team effort.
The optimal time to start a package plan is at the beginning of an academic year as we like to work in tandem with the school's calendar. However, there is no need to wait. We can start working with you at any point in the year.
