My daughter absolutely loved working with Spark Admissions throughout the college process. Our consultant went above and beyond the “college counselor basics” and helped my daughter really develop her passion for social justice and advocacy work. I can’t imagine how different the past three years would have been for my daughter without Spark’s help. With our consultant’s immense support, my daughter successfully applied SCEA to Yale University and will be attending there this fall. We highly suggest to everyone to look to Spark Admissions for college counseling.
