Collegewise

For many families, the college admissions process is a source of significant stress, confusion, and anxiety. Collegewise was founded to change that narrative, transforming what is often a daunting experience into a journey of excitement and self-discovery for students and their parents. Our customers, high school students and their families, are navigating an increasingly complex and competitive higher education landscape. They face the challenge of identifying the right-fit colleges, crafting compelling applications that stand out, and managing the entire process without becoming overwhelmed. We address this by providing expert, one-on-one guidance from experienced counselors, many of whom are former admissions officers. This inside perspective allows us to demystify the process and offer strategic advice that truly makes a difference. Our approach is built on the belief that getting into college shouldn't come at the expense of a student's well-being or a family's peace of mind.

We empower students to take ownership of their college journey. Instead of focusing solely on rankings, we help students discover schools where they will thrive academically, socially, and personally. Our services are designed to alleviate the pressure on parents, as our counselors manage the timeline and details, ensuring that students complete their applications thoughtfully and on time. We offer a comprehensive suite of tools, including academic and extracurricular strategy, essay development, test preparation, and interview coaching. By partnering with organizations like Reach Higher, Michelle Obama's education initiative, and offering a wealth of free resources—from in-depth guides to webinars—we aim to make quality admissions advice accessible to a broader audience. Ultimately, our goal is to see students not just get accepted to college, but to arrive on campus confident, prepared, and excited for the future they have chosen. We've guided over 30,000 students to successful outcomes, and our greatest measure of success is seeing them flourish in environments that are a genuine match for their talents and aspirations.
