Their Journey Starts Here
Give Your Student the Competitive Advantage They Deserve
Seeking Wise Counsel
In the same way families may use financial and tax experts to help maximize their wealth or retirement, preparing your child for their future deserves that same level of expert guidance. It’s too important—and too complex—to navigate alone.
Rightwise Prep delivers the most comprehensive college and career counseling program available today. It would be our privilege to help your student unlock their full potential.
About Rightwise Prep
Rightwise Prep is a trusted educational services firm that provides impactful college and career readiness solutions designed to support students through the post-secondary transition process. Our founders, program creators, and leaders have been helping students just like yours achieve their college and career dreams since 1998. We proudly serve students and their parents in every state and U.S. citizens living across the globe.
We connect with families who have children in grades 8-12 exclusively through select professional service firms and educational partners that are deeply committed to the success of their client families, just like yours. Rightwise Prep is exclusive for a reason. We don’t advertise to the masses, which allows us to prioritize providing our white glove service at an exceptional price.
Students aren’t just a number in our system… we know they’re the future of our country, each with their own hopes and dreams. That’s why we only enroll a limited number of students each year to ensure that your child gets the personalized care and attention they deserve.
What Sets Us Apart
Most college prep companies focus only on college acceptance.
Their services revolve around boosting admission rates—not preparing students for what comes after. Our methodology revolves around each student’s best fit career, then matches them with the right school and major to get there. We prioritize your student’s longterm success by helping them graduate in four years, saving time and money.
Pricing is often unclear, with disguised upsells.
Families are drawn in with a free consultation, only to be pressured into paying more to “guarantee” their child’s success. We provide our one-of-a-kind program for one simple fee, providing service from the time of enrollment through college graduation.
Support is limited—and costly.
Many programs cap the number of sessions or hours, requiring parents to keep paying for additional access. You’ll see the word “unlimited” repeatedly in our program overview -because that’s exactly what we offer. There are NO LIMITS, no hidden fees, and no surprises. Just full access support from start to finish.
The Rightwise Difference
We’re proud to be the best-kept secret in college and career planning, and that’s by design.
We don’t chase the spotlight and don’t do flashy ads or mass marketing. Instead of pursuing volume, we focus on delivering quality personalized support to a select group of students each year.
We partner exclusively with trusted firms and organizations who share our mission of helping families like yours plan for success with integrity, care, and proven results.
Our exclusivity means more value for you. We can offer a true white-glove experience at a fraction of the cost of other college prep services.
Your student will never be just a number. We cap enrollment to give each student the attention they deserve because we believe in their future as much as you do.
Our college and career advisors aren’t salespeople. They’re passionate experts, mentors, and advocates dedicated to helping your family navigate every step with clarity and confidence.
The Stakes Are High…
Why your student needs a competitive advantage to find success in college and in their career.
Challenges Facing Today’s Students
Our education system’s current approach to preparing our nations’ children for their future isn’t working. Too many students go from middle school to high school, and on to graduation with little or no real planning for their future. Students and their families are paying the price of the current disjointed process…
The cost of college is rising; admissions and scholarships are more competitive than ever!
More and more students are competing for a limited number of admissions seats and scholarships.
Student debt is at an all-time high – over eight million have defaulted on burdensome loans.
– U.S. Department of Education
Many students are unprepared and are taking too long to graduate – Over 40% of students are not prepared academically for college and over 60% are taking six years or more to graduate increasing their college cost even more.
– National Center for Education Statistics
Students who enter college unprepared take longer to graduate and are less satisfied post-college – Over half of college graduates surveyed would change their major, their college, or their degree plan.
– Strada-Gallup
Challenges and Risks for Today’s Students
Lack of formal planning costs more than you think.
With rising tuition and tougher admissions, getting into college - and paying for it - has never been more challenging.
Per Year - Average Cost for Tuition, Fees, and Room/Board
In-State Public University: $25,864
Out-of-State Public University: $43,721
Private University: $54,501
Student Loan Debt is at an All-Time High
$37,584 – Average amount of debt held by students at graduation.
College is costly, not only while earning a degree but also in the years spent paying off student loans.
For most parents, outside of purchasing a home, paying for their children’s college education is the most expensive investment that they will ever make. Yet most parents leave the decision-making process to their teenager with no professional help in choosing their career path, major, or college.
Lack of professional counseling leads to costly mistakes. Students are taking too long to graduate, which dramatically increases the cost of their education and delays them in their career.
The Reality of Costly Mistakes
This is due to little or no proper college and career planning as well as poor academic preparation in high school.
In addition, the student’s opportunity costs also increase when they are still in college and not out in the workforce earning a living.
Changing majors almost always means additional classes which significantly increases time and costs.
Regret and Failure
Over half of college graduates surveyed would change their major, college, or degree plan.*
The national freshmen retention rate is a dismal 67.2%, meaning that over one third never return to their initial school after their first year.
The United States experiences a daunting 32.9% college dropout rate every year.
This is a direct consequence of students and families attempting to navigate the high school-to college transition process without professional help.
Well intentioned and motivated high school graduates end up attending a college that was not a good fit for them, studying for the wrong career, resulting in wasted time and money.
