Knowledgeable, Enthusiastic, Experienced! When I approach them for my admission process, I was quite nervous, but when I met with Peter and my counselor Ijaaz, I felt confident and inspired to get admission to one of my favorite US universities, as he assisted me systematically. I have applied to 14 universities and was accepted to 8 with the help of Ijaz and I will now be studying Mechanical Engineering at UIUC, which is ranked #5!

The first time I took the SAT, I scored a 1030 on the diagnostic test. I met Jeffrey, who was the friendliest test prep instructor in Dubai! He was different because he didn’t try to drill the information into me, he actually taught me content and strategies. It took me two classes, but I was able to get to 1310 on my second try.

We would like to thank Hale Education Group for the tremendous support they provided to our daughter in preparing and submitting her application to NYU Abu Dhabi. We were already very late when we started however the team at Hale – Nick and Maia led by Peter – worked tirelessly to fulfil all the requirements and we are very proud of our daughter who has successfully secured admission at NYU by leveraging the guidance and experience which the Hale team offered. Thank you Hale Education Group !

I've been working on my college plans with Hale since November 2013 and I can honestly say that they have done wonders to help me prepare for studies in the US.
The Hale team has helped me plan out each and every aspect of the journey that is the college application, leaving no stone unturned. Thanks to Hale, all my summers were extremely productive; I enrolled in summer programs and courses for college credit, and also did internships to get experience in the workforce. Community service is something a lot of students struggle to find in Dubai, but thanks to Hale, I was able to commit to a program outside of school for over two years.None of this would have been possible without Mr Davos and his team of dedicated counsellors.
found Hale's services most useful in perhaps one of the most crucial aspects of the entire application: the college essay. Mr Davos and I had numerous brainstorming sessions over the summer to plan a college essay that was unique and my own. With the help of Hale's counsellors, I was able to finish my main essay before school even started, so I was able to manage the supplements of 18 colleges quite well.
Mr Davos and his team did a really good job at not only helping me with my application, but also making me more intellectually curious. I would have not even thought about studying the humanities had it not been for Mr Davos' kind words and support. With Hale, I have found new academic interests that I am keen to pursue at an undergraduate level. None of what I have accomplished would have been possible without Mr Davos' input along with the aid of his colleagues. I highly recommend Hale Education Group to anyone considering applying to a university in the USA.

My son got accepted into his top choice university as a part of its Early Decision program. To say that we are elated is an understatement. This was a culmination of my son's efforts under Mr Davos' thorough guidance for the past two years. The Hale team have helped us tremendously with every part of the application from researching colleges, to planning his summer activities, to brainstorming and writing the college essays. My son honestly would not have even considered taking college courses for credit had it not been for Hale. Hale has also helped my son prepare for college interviews, a vital part of the application process.
I strongly recommend anyone considering applying to US universities to consult Mr Davos and his team for their services to give your child the best shot at top choice colleges!

Hale Education Group was a great source of guidance during the college application process. I know that, had I not had their support, applying to colleges would have been almost impossible, since I kept prioritizing doing homework over writing personal and supplementary essays. They really kept me on track and made sure I completed everything before the deadline. I strongly suggest to anyone thinking about applying to US colleges to consider their services.

Originally, it was my mother who set up a phone call with Hale Education Group’s Founder, Peter Davos. Skeptical, but hopeful, I listened in. Suddenly, help wasn’t out of reach. I worked with Hale because I was incredibly unhappy with where I was formerly enrolled for my first two years of college. Hale had been working with my siblings prior to my consultation and I had only heard good things from family members and friends.
Hale Education Group worked miracles. I came in doubting everything and everyone. I had a terrible rap sheet due to my own mistakes in high school and I made some poor educational choices at my former college. The advisors and I met multiple times over the summer. I dedicated a good two months and buckled down. In a few weeks, I had already sent out 16+ applications and started receiving answers within three weeks.
Albeit stressful and nerve-wracking, Hale took the pressure off. The staff is exceptional and I was, and am still, wonderfully surprised at the amount of progress we had made. They have managed to blow me and my family away. I came in expecting multiple rejections, but what I got was 12 acceptances out of 16 applications and scholarships on top of that! Mind you, they do not set you up in unknown towns. I was applying to places in Boston, Chicago, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York… all very prestigious schools that have a great reputation. I never envisioned myself in the city I live in now (Boston), but it’s all thanks to Hale.
What I most enjoyed was Hale’s team based approach – all of their advisors worked together to achieve their results. And that’s what Hale will give to all of their students - their absolute best collective effort.
I cannot thank Hale Education Group enough. I am so happy at my new university and my new city.

When faced with the daunting and somewhat perplexing task of applying to some of the US's most prestigious universities, I reached out to Hale Education Group. Hale supported me every step of the way beginning with the school search and ending with the "submit your application" button.
Yet, what struck me as truly remarkable (apart from an exceptional level of professionalism) is their ability to provide me with individual attention, something that was crucial in helping me find and articulate my unique voice to the admissions committee. In my opinion, that combination of first-class expertise coupled with a personal touch is where Hale rises above the rest because the college admission process is as professional as it is personal.
As a result, I was accepted to seven out of the eight universities I applied to, including all three Ivy League applications. In short, I am extremely thankful to Peter Davos and his team for helping me make this dream come true
