Spark College Consulting Blog

applying_to_college_applications_deadlines_consultingWelcome to Spark College Consulting!

The world of college admissions is a fast moving and confusing place. With new information in constant release and deadlines always looming it’s enough to make your head spin. Add to that the tension that builds as you work with your child to find and visit top-rated schools, “good-fit” and then write essays, complete the applications and meet the deadlines – You do your best and it still ends in frustration, anger and stress. We have heard the horror stories!

We understand that parents across the country have the same frustrations, and while local, San Francisco Bay Area parents can pick up the phone or drop us and email to schedule a free consultation with Spark College Consulting, the rest of you still need tips, tools and practical information.
