“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.”

“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 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 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.”

“Thank you so much, you really guided me well to find which path suited me best and I’m very grateful.”

“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.”
