From the first meeting, David used his vast knowledge of the international university world to guide us through a process that was infinitely more complicated than we had thought. From choosing the right US university through to application and then helping with a deferral request, he has represented very good value and we always felt we had his 100% attention when required. My daughter is now off to Miami University next year and we couldn’t be more pleased. Thank you David

“We would like to say a huge thank you for all you have done to help W with his application and acceptance at IE University. We are all over the moon with the outcome. We realise you were very instrumental in this whole process. It is fantastic that W has been accepted and we also hope this helps to pave the way for more BTEC students going forward. It was quite a journey and we cannot thank you enough for all the help and support you gave to W.”

We were looking for support with university applications in North America, in the UK as well as in continental Europe. David provided excellent information and support for all three locations and helped our daughter through the different application processes. His broad experience and base of information helped her narrow her choices, and pulling the application materials and essays together was relatively stress-free, even with her normal load of schoolwork and the challenges of Covid-19 lockdowns and remote schooling. Our daughter is thrilled to have been accepted at her first choice Brown University and off to study engineering there in the fall. We can only highly recommend David and his team to other families looking for support and advice in this process. He made it a real pleasure.

“David Hawkins deftly developed my writing style over 3 months to help me create admission essays of a standard that I had no idea I could produce. When we first met, my essays were unfocused and often unengaging. His productive feedback and detailed knowledge of the inner workings of the admissions process helped tailor my writing to create essays that helped me gain admissions into Stanford University. The work that he did, not only helped me create application essays that got me into Stanford, but also strengthened my writing skills in ways that have been invaluable at university.”

“Just wanted to thank you for your efforts with M. We are very happy with the outcome. I really appreciate how competent & knowledgeable you are in your field, I will highly recommend your firm.”

“I applied to some US universities in my final year of Sixth Form, but unfortunately wasn’t offered any places. In my second application attempt on my gap year, I had the help of David Hawkins and his team. They helped me to discover which universities would be best suited for me, which elements of my new application to focus on, and how best to put together my art portfolio. It was extremely helpful to have someone who knew which of my ideas would reflect well in my application, and which I should leave out. David and his team made all the difference in my applications and are the reason I’m able to attend Yale today.”

“Thank you so much for your tireless help on my essays and the advice about universities in general – it has been invaluable.”
