LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Collegewise, the nation’s largest private college counseling organization, expands its services internationally, joining the Singapore-based ChangedEdu education group. Collegewise will open a Singapore office in late 2017 and plans to expand its counseling services across Asia.
“Every student deserves the very best information and advice to help them attend the colleges of their dreams, and growing the Collegewise network is the best way for us to help a lot more students do just that.”
Over 10,000 students have received assistance with the college admissions process from Collegewise since 1999. Collegewise provides high school students with a variety of services and support throughout the stressful application process. These services include assistance with the college search process, development of an SAT/ACT testing plan, creation of a custom timeline and strategy to improve chances of admission, discussion of extracurricular and summer activities, and review of applications and essays. Students have one-on-one meetings with their college admissions counselor and can follow up with additional questions via email or phone between meetings.
Younger students benefit from Jumpstart, a Collegewise program designed for students in grades 8 through 10. Jumpstart students utilize an online project management system that allows counselors and students to organize and manage the college research and application process. Jumpstart services also include the evaluation of college and career goals, development of a testing timeline, summer activity and college visit planning, and aid with identifying useful tools for college research and selection.
“The college application process can be stressful and overwhelming for students and their parents,” said Kevin McMullin, Founder and Managing Partner of Collegewise. “Every student deserves the very best information and advice to help them attend the colleges of their dreams, and growing the Collegewise network is the best way for us to help a lot more students do just that.”
“We’re very excited to be partnering with Collegewise, a company offering a high-quality education program which is aligned with our own values. Through the ChangedEdu global family of brands we will connect Collegewise counselors with students outside of the United States,” said Brian Rogove, Founder and CEO of ChangedEdu.
