Year after year, Spark Admissions achieves unprecedented success helping students gain admission to their top-choice colleges and universities. In fact, our admissions rates overwhelmingly outperform the national average.
Please note that Spark’s results are based upon the recommendations we provide our clients. A high percentage of our students are admitted to their early school, which means the one Early Decision or Single Choice Early Action school to which they applied and, therefore, they only apply to one school. Further, we only include results when our assessment of the student for a particular school illustrates that they are feasible candidates for admission. So, if a student applies to a particular school against our recommendation, we do not include these results.
