I highly recommend Spark Admissions. Our Spark consultant guided both of my children through the college admissions process with expert advice, encouragement, and constructive feedback. Both were admitted to schools that were among their top choices. My children have very different interests, learning styles, and personalities. Our consultant tailored their approach accordingly. My daughter immediately focused in on small liberal arts colleges, whereas my son’s interests were all over the map (small liberal arts colleges to the UCs; northeast, south and west; etc.). My daughter was ready to commit and felt comfortable applying early decision, whereas my son was not that far along in his decision-making process. Applying early decision has advantages in terms of higher chances of acceptance. Our consultant, while clearly laying out the risks, worked with my son to develop a plan that he felt comfortable with. Connecting with Spark in the early years of high school was enormously helpful to my children. Our consultant was able to advise them on academic classes, extracurricular activities, and summer opportunities. By the summer of junior year, both of my children had a sense of their potential areas of interest in college and could point to meaningful experiences that had led them in this direction. Spark Admissions helped my children show the college admissions officers the best of themselves. They kept them organized by providing clear timelines and expectations. They brainstormed about potential essay topics, practiced interviewing skills, and were always available to talk through difficult decisions. Both of my children emerged from the process feeling successful and self-confident.
