We worked with Spark Admissions on our daughter’s college application process. Our consultant was amazing. They are kind, competent, encouraging throughout, and go the extra mile. They helped define the target school list and provide accurate assessments of which were reach schools. Spark helped identify a major and did a phenomenal job on essay support, applications, and navigating the timeline. We never would have ended up with such a strong essay if it wasn’t for our consultant. They continued to stay in touch through acceptance. We would highly recommend. Thank you, Spark!
