“David is the best that I have come across so far in this industry in terms of knowledge, connections, integrity and honesty and responsiveness and in particular he adds huge value in terms of university choice, which as I am sure you are aware is a vast and daunting area.”

“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.”

“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.”

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.

“I can’t thank you enough. At the start of this process, I did not have any definite direction, all I knew was that I wanted to further my education. Thankfully with all your guidance and expertise, I have been fortunate to receive a number of university offers. I have to attribute this to your approach in finding the university which was the “right-fit”. I have accepted my offer from the University of Toronto and if all goes to plan I will attend this autumn. I am so excited! Thank you once again.”

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

“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.”
