“We used Hayman Elderkin for both my eldest and middle child for guidance into US college admissions. Both Evie and Louise were very supportive and very responsive to questions and needs (sometimes even after hours - especially Evie), particularly when anxiety was at it's peak. They are very knowledgeable about the college admission process and were extremely encouraging of my girls. I would not hesitate to recommend them for your US college application requirements. Thanks Evie and Louise!”

“Before finding Hayman Elderkin, we were overwhelmed with information and choice. After meeting with Evie and Louise, we felt they really got to know our daughter and were able to curate the information to her individual interests. Their network and resources really helped our daughter make informed decisions, and we really appreciated their constant support, feedback and updates. Evie and Louise were stellar at helping her hone in on her skills and talents, personalise her choices and achieve the best outcome in the end. We would highly recommend Hayman Elderkin to any families wanting a well informed and personalised approach to university applications both in and outside of Australia”. 

“Evie and Louise were incredibly helpful in my college search process. Without their admissions expertise and extensive knowledge of college programs I wouldn’t be where I am today. Further, their help was crucial in balancing the tough HSC schedule and admissions processes.”

Evie has been an invaluable resource for me and my family throughout the whole application and acceptance process.

She has been there every step of the way, from helping research and choose universities that are the best fit for me, to helping me prepare for the SATs and guiding me through essays and the Common Application. Even after I was accepted into one of my top schools, Evie was still there to help prepare me for orientation.

Evie was always just a text message or an email away, and she constantly made time for me and to answer my questions.

Her regular check-ins kept me on top of my applications and helped to keep me organised during the stress and craziness of Year 12. She also kept in touch with my parents to keep them updated and help reassure them.

I cannot praise or thank Evie enough for her incredible support and assistance! I absolutely could not have gotten through it all without her.

“I cannot thank Evie enough for her patience with my daughter as she juggled HSC’s, SAT's and college applications. Without Evie, I believe my daughter would have given up applying to the US.   It’s a good thing she didn’t because, with Evie’s knowledge and advice, she got offers from UCLA and Vassar, amongst others.

 Evie really cared about my daughter. Evie cheered her on and was sensitive to her pressures and workload while prevailing on her to excel at her college essays. Evie was positive and supportive throughout what was a difficult time for my daughter (and me!).

 We have a younger daughter that would also like to go to college in America.  We will undoubtedly use Evie’s services again for her.”

“They saved me from utter confusion!

There is so many forms to complete for study in the USA including the Common application. It is one of the most perplexing documents as each college requires different essays and have different dates for submission. Also, understanding costs can be tricky. With Hayman Elderkin’s guidance and expert knowledge I was able to navigate this document and assist my son's access to the USA College system. He is now off to study In Wisconsin on a full scholarship. Thanks heaps!”

“Our journey with Louise started a year ago, and it's been a great ride in spite of times of immense pressure to meet US application deadlines amidst year 12 chaos and stress. The one thing that definitely stands out is the way Louise manages her teenage students.  Her patience and finding ways of getting things done is unparalleled. 

Louise started by finding the right fit of colleges and ensuring there were plan B's and C's in place in the list. Thanks to her continuous guidance our daughter was successful in being admitted to 7 colleges in the USA and wait listed at 3 of them. She secured a full scholarship to University of Richmond with part scholarships to University of Rochester and Claremont McKenna College. We are over the moon with the outcome and she was definitely spoilt for choice with a wide range of possibilities.

In a nutshell, this would not have been possible without Louise, her support, mentorship and counsel every step of the way.”
