“We recommend David Hawkins to our families pursuing international university applications for the following reasons: depth of knowledge of the market (not just US), speed of response, integrity at every level, ability to connect on a personal level with young adults and his ability to provide bespoke advice and find the correct match.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“I wish to thank you for the work you have put in for my application as well as the process of applying and even talking to the universities. I am especially grateful for arranging the appointments during my tour in April, which were decisive in helping me make my final choice. I am well aware that, without your contribution, it would have been much more challenging if at all possible.”

“We were recommended by our school to approach David for detailed advice and support as we evaluated European alternatives to traditional UK university options. He has made the process so easy and provided the reassurance to give my daughter and I the confidence to move forward with an option in Holland. We ended up applying to three law schools in Holland, have accepted one, and had offers from the other two. There are some really exciting and cost-effective courses outside the UK that need a bit of extra work to understand, but with David’s help that was easy.”
