Tailored College Admissions Consulting for Every Grade

Give your child the best chance at a standout application. Starting as early as winter of 8th grade, we map clear, year-by-year steps to position your child for competitive admissions through senior year.

8th Graders

A productive high school experience is the foundation for a great college application. Students who progress through high school with intention, curiosity, and confidence are stronger applicants and are better prepared for college. This is where we can help.

9th Graders

Starting high school is exciting—and overwhelming. It’s a bigger, more diverse environment with many new options for courses and clubs. It can be hard for students and families to know where to start. Spark Admissions college counselors can help.

10th Graders

Sophomore year is a common time to start working with a college counselor. Students are more familiar with high school and should now start thinking about college. This is a time for strategy development and creating a clear preparation plan.

11th Graders

By junior year, students are thinking seriously about college. College lists, standardized testing, recommendation letters, and more are all at the forefront of students’ minds. We assist with all of this, while also helping students become stronger applicants.

12th Graders

It isn’t too late to seek college admissions guidance senior year. We help seniors find, strengthen, and present their unique stories. We also assist with application materials, interviews, and application strategies.
