Spark Admissions helped me find a summer internship, finalize a college list, and provided much-needed guidance when I was writing my essays. The entire Spark Team is always on their A-game and are very, very informed about everything that is related to the college world. My consultant helped me narrow down a list of schools based on what I wanted in them, and suggested alternatives to the ones I already had in my list. In fact, one of the schools that they suggested is the school which I will be attending in the fall. I am very thankful for them and everyone at Spark Admissions for their dedication to their clients!
