Kevin McMullin founded Collegewise in 1999 in Irvine, California. According to the company, he saw a college admissions process that had become overwhelming and stressful for too many families, and built Collegewise on the belief that students could get admitted to their dream college and still have some fun on their admissions journey. More than 26 years after Kevin met with his first student at a kitchen table, Collegewise describes itself as the nation's largest college admissions organization, while stating that its original personal ethos remains at the heart of everything it does.
