We feel so lucky that our son worked with Spark Admissions. They kept him, and all of us, on track. They were everything one would want in a college consultant and more! This was our first time in the college process and they made the whole process less stressful. It was so helpful to have an expert guide us and be the one to help direct our son (vs us nagging him!). Our son got into his first choice college (early decision) and we are looking forward to working with Spark again for our second child. Besides having great consultants, Spark fully understands the college landscape and they give you that incredible inside knowledge to help craft your child’s whole process. We looked at lots of college consultant companies and know that Spark Admissions was the best choice for our son!
