Our Story

Collegewise was founded by Kevin McMullin in 1999 and has since helped over 30,000 students gain college admission.

Kevin realized that for too many families, the college admissions process was overwhelming and ultimately unsuccessful so he set out on a mission to address common pain points and create a more joyful experience for students and parents.

We believe in taking the pressure off our students
We believe in giving families quality time back
We believe every student has something to offer
