Kevin McMullin, Collegewise Founder & Chief Education Officer 

In 1999, Kevin started Collegewise with the core belief that students should be at the center of their college application process. He knew that with the support and guidance of a trusted advisor, students could experience a less stressful and ultimately more successful experience. Where did he meet his first few students? His little kitchen table in Orange County, California. Since his humble beginnings, he has grown Collegewise into the nation’s most trusted provider of college admission counseling, with over 30,000 students helped. Kevin is currently the Chief Education Officer of Collegewise, overseeing the counseling and tutoring programs.  

For more than 25 years, Kevin has reached hundreds of thousands of people as a trusted admissions speaker and author on the topic of smarter, saner college planning. He wrote and published the admissions book “If the U Fits: Expert Advice on Finding the Right College and Getting Accepted.” Kevin graduated from UC Irvine with majors in English and history and has a college admissions counseling certificate from UCLA. Kevin admits that while he knows a lot about how to parent teens during the college admissions process, he seems to be significantly less knowledgeable about how to parent his own 9- and 7-year-old boys!
