New York Client Testimonial
Spark Admissions has talented mentors and guides for any young adult taking on the challenge of applying for college. Our consultant’s advocacy for our son Zach was extremely effective resulting in a 100% acceptance result from the 11 applications he made. They coached Zach with setting a challenging plan and schedule for his application effort and the results were better than any of us expected. We would definitely recommend Spark and plan to reach out to them again when our youngest daughter starts the process of applying for college.
