WiseChoice knows there are many factors to be considered when it comes to finding colleges that fit. Once the Personality Assessment and Student Profile are complete, we’ll generate a personalized College Compatibility Report for you. This report sets the stage for helping you understand the college match scores in our system, and it will help you understand which academic and social environments will be most suitable for you at college.
The college match score is at the heart and soul of the WiseChoice system, and what really differentiates us from other college planning websites. We take all the information we’ve learned from you and run your profile through our elaborate college matching algorithm. The matching process crunches and compares thousands of data points to generate your individualized match score for each college in our database – and we have over 1,300 four-year colleges and universities that are included in the college match score process.
In addition to calculating your personalized college match score for over 1,300 schools, WiseChoice also considers your background, grades and achievements and calculates your odds of being admitted to those same schools. It’s important to know how your student profile measures up against the applicant pool, so we let you know which colleges are "reach," "target" and "safety" schools.
Ever wondered what the students at any particular college really think about their campus, their professors and their peers? WiseChoice offers unique insights into the true character of college campuses through student reviews and rankings from over 100,000 actual college students at over 1,300 colleges in the nation.
We have blended information from a number of data sources to create comprehensive college profiles on all accredited 2- and 4-year colleges and universities in the U.S. You can search schools by name, location or major, and filter your results by cost, distance from home, school type and more. Want to see all the schools in New Mexico with tuition costs between $10,000 and $30,000? No problem. Want to see every college in Virginia that offers a mechanical engineering degree? It’s easy to find this information with just a click of the mouse at WiseChoice. Select a college to see in-depth information about the students, costs, admissions, academics and more. You can also select multiple schools and compare them side-by-side.
WiseChoice makes it easy to keep track of the colleges you want to remember with our featured College Lists. The system will automatically set up a few lists for you: Favorite Colleges, Schools Nearby, Top Match Scores and Schools to Consider. But you can create new lists to keep track of your parents’ favorites or your counselor’s recommendations. And over time, you can add and delete schools from the lists as you change your mind or narrow your focus.
