Working with Spark was the best decision our family could have made in approaching the college admissions process. The dedication they offered to our child in revising every precise detail, no matter how small, was unmatched. Spark’s organizational skills and ability to motivate our child to meet clear, feasible deadlines were invaluable, and we are deeply grateful for all the support they lent us. From our very first conversation, we were impressed by their enthusiasm and expertise. Spark Admissions was extremely knowledgeable about the process, the colleges we were considering, and all the steps needed to succeed. Rather than pushing any particular essay topics upon our child, they listened closely to her ideas and worked with my child to help elevate them to a higher level. Thank you for matching us with such a wonderful counselor!
