I cannot say enough positive things about Spark Admissions. We started working with Spark during the summer before my daughter’s junior year. Our consultant first helped our daughter identify her (future) academic interests and strengths. They then suggested unique extracurricular activities, courses etc. that would help her explore these interests more deeply over the next 1.5 years. That truly sparked my daughter’s passion (pun intended) which not only helped her identify a potential career focus, but also provided a means to share this growth in her applications, which made all the difference. They also introduced her to an outstanding SAT tutor, and their essay guidance was EXCEPTIONAL. Through the entire process they were incredibly supportive, responsive, and honest. Spark knows what it takes to get into specific colleges and helps students realize their true potential, which should be the real goal of any admissions firm. My daughter was admitted to her first choice and is thrilled. I only wish we had known about Spark Admissions for my older son, who had a very different experience with another company.
