I loved working with Spark Admissions for the past 5 years. In 8th grade, they helped me significantly by helping me choose what classes I should take in high school to get the most out of it and to build the image I wanted to put out to colleges. They also helped me come up with a plan of what I should do for the next four years to get to where I want to be. In high school, they helped me come up with a list of colleges to consider and narrow them down. They were actually the ones who first suggested Carnegie Mellon University to me, and I'm extremely happy with my choice to actually go there. Overall, Spark really helped me navigate the entire college application process and kept me on track to be where I wanted to be at the end of it all. I would highly recommend Spark Admissions to anyone who needs help figuring out the application process or an extra hand to keep everything organized.
