Rebecca Putter pattern

Rebecca Putter, National Executive Director of Collegewise Academic Services

After getting her start in education by launching a satellite branch of a tutoring company in Austin, Rebecca then spent a year as a pre-law advisor and career coach with UT Austin’s Liberal Arts Career Services Office. Prior to joining Collegewise in June 2014, Rebecca interned for a local private counselor and took on her own caseload of students. It was then that Rebecca realized she wanted to help high school students of all GPAs and test scores find and get into the colleges of their dreams. Rebecca was valedictorian of her high school class and earned a near perfect GPA both while studying politics at NYU and later when earning a master’s degree in higher education administration from UT Austin.

She’s also a dedicated gluten-free pescetarian. When she’s not advising students or looking for new combinations of fish and vegetables to eat, Rebecca enjoys running, trying any and all fitness classes, and soaking up Austin’s abundant selection of live music.

Though she's located in Austin, Rebecca's not just a UT Austin expert. While Collegewise Austin students are accepted at UT at five times the national admit rate, they also receive acceptances from universities all over the country! Our students have recently been admitted to the University of Virginia, Barnard, NYU, Rice, and Texas A&M.
