We would love to talk with you about your college choices and application strategy. Get in touch today!
My daughter and our dedicated consultant clicked at the very first meeting. Our consultant was smart and organized; knowledgeable and diligent; responsive and caring, most importantly, my daughter just loved working with them! Their detailed plans put us at ease and their positive words melted away our concerns from time to time and encouraged my daughter to reach higher. Spark Admissions was so productive with their time with us. Even though we didn't start until late fall of her junior year, Spark helped my daughter with picking senior classes, applying for summer research programs, identifying her field of study and firming up a most suitable list of schools...list goes on and on. Every step of the way contributed to the success of her college application. We were thrilled when she got admitted to her top choice Ivy school. We were so grateful for Spark Admissions!
