Families who begin working with Spark Admissions in 10th grade are able to tackle the college admissions process with knowledge, experience, and extensive preparation.
Beth came to Spark Admissions as a smart, hardworking sophomore struggling to reach her academic potential.
She spent up to six hours a night on homework, but barely maintained a B average. Nevertheless, she was determined to attend her top-choice school, Boston College.
We immediately recognized that Beth’s track record didn’t align with her effort and recommended neuropsychology testing. The results revealed she had a learning difference exacerbated by anxiety.

Beth was accepted Early Decision to Boston College, her top-choice school.

Charlie came to Spark Admissions as a highly intelligent sophomore attending a top private school. Charlie had diverse academic and extracurricular interests.
His two older siblings had already worked with us to gain acceptance to their top-choice schools. Charlie’s parents sought our admissions expertise to help him do the same.
Charlie was already doing well in high school, but we knew his scattered interests would make it difficult for him to shine in the competitive college admissions process.
Charlie’s Spark Admissions counselor:
Charlie was accepted to Dartmouth College, Amherst College, Washington University in St. Louis, and several other selective colleges.
