Had enquired about the mba application consulting and was told that the packages would be shared by whatsapp that day itself. But a week later, there has been no response even after multiples follow-ups. I had called them four times after my initial discussion and every time the response was that the packages would be shared with in 30 mins. Communication should definitely be improved and shouldnt keep clients waiting for this long.

Want to study abroad then as per my experience with hale, they will be the best option for you, no doubts.

They are expensive, but worth it. I was sceptical at the beginning, but after speaking with several parents who had used their services in the past, I decided to enlist my son. He was accepted to 7 universities, received over $150,000 in scholarship offers and got into Vanderbilt. I would highly recommend.

I simply want to thank all the people out there working in the team of hale. Because I couldnt study at Johns Hopkins university without a hale.

It was like a real pleasure to work with Hale, I got what I wanted, thanks!

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time working with Hale. In this time I have had two counsellors and both of them were amazing both in helping me decide my school and making the admission process run extremely smoothly. The personal statement help with especially useful as this can be a tough document to produce. Yet, my counsellors enabled me to feel confident in all of my answers and final decisions. Everyone is exceptionally friendly and I would highly recommend this service for all students.

From the personalised support I received from my counsellor Kevin to the tips provided to me by the entire of the Hale Education team, I can clearly say that Hale has provided me all of the tools in order to be admitted into my dream school. The support system I was provided since the first day I stepped into their office is unparalleled and Hale has definitely made this college search an unforgettable process. They guided me in each of my decisions without making them for me and I am eternally grateful for the continuous help they have provided me.

I have worked with them for a long time and they helped me get into my dream university. The price is perfect for the kind of work they put in and the help that they give. Definitely recommend!

As a CBSE student transferring to an american school in the middle of my high school years, i knew my college application process will be hard. Hale helped me with my essays and also made my CV look stronger. Hale made sure to support me on my conquest to apply for an university whether it was target, reach or safety.

Hale Education Group is described as a group, but I would personally say its more like a family because as you start working with the team on your applications, you get to know your counselors on a more personal level. You get to hear their stories about their own college experiences, which makes the entire nerve-wrecking process a lot easier. Hale is very professional and passionate about helping kids like myself achieve their goals of going to their dream school.

Very knowledgeable staff and managing director. I highly recommend getting an advisor early to navigate the university admissions process, and Hale is an excellent choice. They are very knowledgeable and will help maximize your options in a very competitive process. One thing the other reviewers do not mention is that the founder Peter knows a lot of people in academics. He is in touch with the trends which I feel makes the advice more relevant since university acceptance criteria are always evolving.

I loved working with Peter. From he first moment I met I could see how committed, engaged and passionate about the students he worked with. Most of the parents that worked with him echoed the same sentiment and felt that he was really a part of their family in what comes to applying to the right American university. Actually I was pleasantly surprised to know that hes one of the few independent consultants. The majority agencies here are actually representing one college without disclosing it.

Working closely with Murat, Dari, and Peter, I can wholeheartedly say that Hale is the best educational consultancy in the region. With extensive knowledge in both the application process and the different types of universities in the U.S., Hale helped me with everything from finding a university that fits my personality and future goals, to being accepted into one of my top choices.With counsellors that act as both mentors and friends, I couldn’t recommend Hale enough.Thanks Hale!

Working with Peter and the Hale team has been absolutely amazing; I interviewed 5 consultants including some based in New York with exceptional track records, I chose Peter and it was definitely the right decision.They not only shaped my overall college narrative, including essay and resume, but also built my confidence and always encouraged me to reach higher. It’s that undying belief in the candidate’s ability that made the difference for me, I can proudly say that with their help, I was accepted to both Harvard and Columbia.

Hale has really helped me navigate the college application process. It can be difficult to know what it is colleges are looking for, and which college is the right one for for you, but my counsellors Ijaaz and Elysa helped me make my choice about where to apply, and I couldn’t be happier with the school I have chosen.

Easily the most professional & qualified college consultancy service in the region. When it was time for my younger brother to start applying to college, we went to a few other places and quickly realized that they are more or less a sham. I was recommended to Hale by a colleague and I was blown away by the professionalism & their holistic approach to the application process. All the staff has attended top US universities (Yale, Penn State, etc) and knew exactly what they were doing. They are very punctual with their follow up, very thorough in their method, and I couldnt recommend them more.

Hale Education offers the finest college admissions coaches and processes I have ever seen. The impact on students is evident not only in getting them into reach schools or lots of scholarship funding, but also in shaping students into mindful and upstanding human beings. Dont think twice, go with Hale!

Dear Peter, there are no words to express our gratitude. We met you 3 years ago, very worried about our first sons undergraduate studies. From our first meeting we knew that we visited the right person. You looked after our son with so much care, understanding, patience, professionalism. You were always available, you mentored and inspired him all the way. Today my son has 10 university acceptances to choose from. We cannot thank you enough for your amazing work. Our second son is looking forward to meet you next year. Thank you!!!!

I have been working with Hale education for about 8 months and it has been a phenomenal process. The counselors here genuinely care for their clients and always put their students’ interests first. Right now, I am making a decision between an Ivy League school and another top school, both which have been my top choices since the very beginning. I couldn’t have done this without the support and mentorship of the team. From mock interviews to advice on the school which would best fit my attributes, thank you Hale for everything you have done for me.

An amazingly professional team of experts led by Peter Davos, who genuinely care and guide both the student and the family through the processes. Peter has truly proved to us that everything is possible when you channel it the correct way, and the outstanding results of our son are are a testament to their guidance and advise. I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking a warm yet efficient environment for the journey to a U.S. university.

I have seen Peter present when considering options for my daughter. I found him to be very knowledgeable and engaging about the US higher education subject, which he is clearly an expert in. Before seening his presentation and subsequently talking to him, we were firmly set on UK options however, that is no longer the case thanks to Peter and his team. They make the daunting task of applying for the right education much more manageable. Great!

I want to thank Peter and Nathan for making my dreams come true, I got accepted to all of my dream colleges including BU, Northeastern and GW.Throughout the application process I got all the help I needed thanks to hale education.

In todays increasingly competitive admission process to post graduate study programs constructing an application can seem a daunting task. As one of my brothers was applying to a PhD program and another to medical school I realized that although I went through the same processes applying to medical school 20 years ago, my understanding of todays climate was severely outdated. We needed guidance to help navigate the challenges facing students today and so sought the help of Peter and Hale Education Group. Any student can find information through commercially available books or websites, but it was his personal analysis and input that we found to be invaluable. He evaluated each of my brothers strengths and weaknesses and helped us to identify ways to leverage a strong application based on their unique situations. He is a consummate professional, was always readily available to us, and his advice was concrete and spot on. His input on the personal statements alone were well worth the fees charged. Through his mentoring I am happy to say both were admitted to their number one choices of medical school and PhD programs. Thanks again Peter from our entire family.Mohaned A, MD

Peter Davos and his team of dedicated and hardworking advisers provided me with opportunities unrivaled by previous academia counselors. The support I received during one of the most stressful and troubling times of my life will never be forgotten; I am forever grateful. I plan to bring my children to Hale Education when their time comes, as I know they will be in dependable hands.

Coming to Hale was the best decision I made during my senior year. All the counselors were very amiable who helped me with my application process some way or the other. The counsellor I was assigned to, Frida, guided me through all the steps during the process systematically. I was very comfortable with her as we got to know each other. Our meetings were the most exciting days of my week as I got to get input and guidance on my personal statement and supplement essays. I got accepted into almost all of my universities, some with huge scholarships, and the credit goes to Frida. I got to know many things about applying to US colleges which has always been my dream. I will be strongly recommending Hale to my friends.

The founder, Peter Davos, is a very welcoming and pleasant man. He has a wealth of experience and wisdom that he is more than willing to share. His advice is both valuable and doled out without hesitation.

Having worked with Hale Education Group, I can attest to the quality and professionalism of the team. Hale is unmatched in the region in terms of the level of services it provides for its students. Highly recommend.

Really professional service. He helped a many clients to find a perfect school. My recommendation to everyone who wants good carrier and well education.

My experience at Hale was amazing. Before joining, I was very confused about the application process as well as which universities I should apply to based on my grades. After the first time I came to the office I realized that I was in good hands. After sitting down with Frida for so many hours and writing so many essays I believe that I was able to first of all grow as a person as well as refine my essay writing skills. I am extremely happy that I was able to work with Hale to ensure a university for me to attend.I would like to thank Frida for spending so much time helping me edit my essays and for helping me with my personal essay. These experiences allowed me to grow as a student.

The application process seemed very daunting to begin with, but working alongside Hale helped me tackle the hurdles of the CommonApp process in a systematic and well-planned manner. I was initially overwhelmed by the idea that colleges expected us to have so much to say at only 17, but my amazing counselor, Alexandra, helped me unlock and access all that I had to offer and write a set of amazing essays. If it weren’t for Hale, my dream school - Princeton - would have remained just that, a dream. I am so glad to have benefitted from their expertise and would recommend Hale to all!

Highly professional organization. From start to finish, they walk you through the while process and get the job done. Amazing.

My family and I reached out to Peter because I had little to no direction as to how I should create a successful application to a US university. I was completely overwhelmed and unaware of the details necessary to gaining admission to a college of my choosing. Peter and his team broke down the process for me and actually made my experience applying fun and formative, even outside the realm of being accepted to university.HALE was always there for me in whatever way I needed and went above and beyond to make sure I was being accommodated. Peters advice was always clear, personalised and productive. I credit my acceptance to my dream university to Peter and his team: they not only helped me create a successful application, but also equipped me with life skills that I use to this day, as a rising senior at Johns Hopkins. I have recommended HALE to several people who are also now at their dream universities.

Best way to ensure your journey to college. Make sure you get to work with Frida!

I think that the results of Hale Education Group speak for itself,yet I would like to share one testimony I have been witnessing by one lady ,whose 3 children experienced Peter Davos guidance and expertise.Beautiful description was made using words like gratitude,fulfillment,happiness and friendship.I have also learned that the connection between Peter and the children goes beyond after reaching their goals attending the bests schools,creating a lifetime friendship.So I would certainly send my children to Hale ,and would warmly recommend to everyone.

Peter and the team go the extra mile - I needed some education assistance, and despite not being relevant to the core business of Hale, they still helped me make some sound and rewarding decisions. All this at no cost to myself, and Im sure a high cost of time and effort for the guys at Hale - this is to be applauded and for sure, Peter will be my go to guy when my daughter is ready for College.

Very professional experience. The team were transparent and managed expectations accordingly. Would recommend.

Peter, as well as the rest of the advisers at Hale Education, have always done right by my family and I. Rather than simply meeting a college counsellor, I met a mentor and a long time friend. Id recommend anyone who isnt certain about their college admissions to check Hale Education out.

Hale Education Group is the best answer if your looking for ways to get your kids to find the right path to what they want to do for the careers and get the best education for that. Great staff as the attentions to details and quality service is like no other.

Professional, helpful and very knowledgable from start to finish. Peter and the team at Hale will make a confusing process seem effortless and very manageable. Highly recommended.

The Team of Hale Education School is highly professional and human oriented.I believe that their approach was brought to the next level by their kindness and world class expertise.Congratulations to Peter and the team for their great record so far and for the bright future to come.

From the moment I met with Mr. Davos, I knew that the educational future of my students would be in good hands. His dedication to higher learning and placement of students into top notch colleges and universities is unparalleled.

Had a wonderful experience working with the team at Hale. They are very thorough and the attention we got was extremely appreciated. I strongly suggest their services.

Hale is an amazing Education Consultant. Peter and all Hales team are very helpful to me, i had a great expreiance with them. For me they are not just advisors but mentors as well.Before working with Hale i worked with two Education Consultancies, what i got in Hale is absolutely unique all advices guidance were extremely helpful and valuable What they offer is not comparable: Because of the exceptional service i got from them i got accepted in Ivy league school.Working with them is really an honor and its worth every single Dirham i paid.

As a parent you want to do whats right for your kids. It has been in our good fortune that we stumbled upon Peter Davos & Hale Education. They have placed three of my four children in excellent Universities with phenomenal scholarships and he is still working diligently with my youngest.They are professional, knowledgeable, and most importantly loyal. Peter Davos still reaches out frequently to check on the well being and academic progression of my kids.Their expertise and advise is unmatched. Wouldnt entrust anyone else with my childrens future but Peter Davos.

Very professional and knowledgeable staff. Peter and his team are organized and effective - highly recommended!

Peter Davos and his team are passionate about education and helping students succeed. We need more people like this for students!

When you come from a country where the decision of a University depends only in which is the one that you like best, standing in front of different curriculums; IB, British, American, maybe Australian, or maybe a mix of British and IB, feels like getting into a blender and turning it on. It’s so confusing; how do the grades work? Where do you start? It is so annoying, that the simple idea of thinking about Unis was so stressful. Finding Hale was like an Oasis; they explained everything and gave our daughter the support that she needed. Understanding the process from the start was like a dark cloud in our minds, and suddenly it became so easy, and the struggle of misleading our daughter was not anymore in our concerns. Hale has been a great decision that was worth every cent we paid. All of this with a great sense of humanity, we are thankful with the amazing team of Hale. Thank you very much.

My son got accepted into his top choice university as a part of its Early Decision Programme and this was only possible under the guidance of Mr Peter Davos and his talented team at Hale. They not only helped my son tremendously in putting the application together involving brainstorming and writing the college essays but also assisted in planning his summer activities.I would strongly recommend anyone considering applying to US universities to consult Mr Davos and his team at Hale for their professional services & guidance.

Peter Davos and the Hale team are knowledgeable, professional, and very helpful in providing guidance for studying in the US.

Incredible team, incredible work ethic, incredible resultsHighly recommended!

I’ve worked 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. I am now an undergraduate at the Johns Hopkins University (my top choice) currently in my second semester.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.I 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.

Many of these derisive reviews of the Hale Education Group seem spurious and unsubstantiated. A great help to me and many others; I would love to see them succeed even more.

A professional, quick and organised company.

I cant say enough about Hale and the way they are passionate about their work. They have followed through with their promises and then some!

Price is 15,000 and they wont give you it till you meet them

The founder is not qualified to be giving out advice. He only has a certificate from UCLA, and a degree in real estate (of all things) from Harvard. He also only went to Oxford for less than a year to attend a few seminars but he was not an undergrad there as he claims. Also, ignore the reviews on other sites- he forces the students to write those lol
