About the role

Do you believe that the college admissions process should be a journey families actually enjoy?
Do you believe the college admissions process should be an exciting journey for families, not an anxiety-inducing rite of passage?
We believe the college admissions process has spun out of control, with too much confusion, too much anxiety, and too many students losing agency for what should be their path to higher education.

Responsibilities

help students build authentic, meaningful high school experiences, develop differentiated applications that reflect who they genuinely are, find colleges that are the right fit for them, and help their families breathe a little easier along the way.
Tell us about a time you had to manage a difficult conversation or disagreement with a parent or stakeholder.
What is your typical caseload, and how do you productively manage your time?
Collegewise counselors aren't just great with students - they help build the business through referrals, outreach, and community relationships.
You're passionate about what Collegewise stands for and our drive to help as many families as possible transform their journey to college.
We partner with community-based organizations to directly support their students and increase college access.

Compensation

$40k-$50k

Benefits

Whether you're working on a project with a coworker, meeting with a student about a college list, or talking to a concerned parent on the phone, people enjoy and benefit from their interactions with you.
Most importantly, you believe in the vision of Collegewise.
Bonus points if you have experience working at a highly selective college in admissions, academic advising, or student affairs.
We're most interested in learning about your counseling philosophy, skills, and experiences-the things that will set you (and your students) up for success.

Company info

Collegewise is a college counseling company that helps high school students confidently navigate their journey to college.
We're out to change all that.
Since 1999, we've helped more than 35,000 students apply and get accepted to schools-sometimes famous, often not-that they're excited to attend.
We do it all with just the right mix of advice, encouragement, and occasional cheerleading-all backed by data and experience-to ensure that each student's college admissions process goes smoothly and thoughtfully.
And our work doesn't stop with students who enroll in our program.
We speak in public, write, and constantly look for ways to spread relevant college planning information to anyone who needs it, whether or not they work with us.
Three Tracks, One Mission Collegewise counselors all do the same essential work: help students build authentic, meaningful high school experiences, develop differentiated applications that reflect who they genuinely are, find colleges that are the right fit for them, and help their families breathe a little easier along the way.
But we serve families through different models, and the right track depends on how you work best and where your strengths shine - read about the counseling roles at Collegewise.
We're currently hiring for: Core Counselor - Relationship-based counseling across our flagship programs.
Work with a caseload of 40-50 students, expertly guiding families through the full arc of the college process, often over multiple years.
Signature Counselor - Relationship-based counseling for our highest touch offering.
Signature counselors bring more frequent meetings and deep engagement to the families they work with (caseload equivalency is no more than 25 students).
These descriptions are intentionally brief.
