Does applying to The Spence School require an admissions consultant?

Hiring an admissions consultant is not a requirement, but it can be beneficial for families who want expert guidance through the competitive application process. A consultant can help craft compelling personal statements, refine interview skills, and ensure all application materials effectively showcase a student’s strengths. Since Spence values students who are intellectually engaged and passionate about learning, a consultant can assist in tailoring the application to highlight these qualities. However, many students gain admission without professional assistance by thoughtfully preparing their application, seeking guidance from school counselors, and actively engaging in the admissions process. The key is to present an authentic and compelling case for why Spence is the right fit for your child.
