Ethan came to Spark Admissions during his junior year as a shy, reserved student full of potential.
He had high academic aspirations, but his parents knew he’d need help showcasing his personality so college admissions committees could see how invaluable he would be to their schools.
We helped Ethan cultivate a number of attributes that would make him a competitive college applicant—including confidence, proactivity, and leadership skills.

Michael was an ambitious high school student who’d spread himself exceedingly thin doing all the things he thought would make him a compelling college applicant. As a result, neither his extracurricular profile nor his GPA were where they needed to be for the colleges he sought.
When he came to Spark Admissions at the start of junior year, Michael was very anxious about and overwhelmed by the college admissions process.
We recognized and understood Michael’s anxiety and wanted to minimize it as much as possible. We also knew firsthand what it takes to earn admission at competitive schools. So, we helped Michael re-focus his efforts solely on the pursuits that were most meaningful to him and would help him gain acceptance to his top-choice schools.

Michael was accepted Early Decision to Tufts University, his top-choice school.
