Applying to college is one of the most important — and most overwhelming — processes a student will face. ApplyWise brings everything together in one place so nothing falls through the cracks.
For Students
Track every college on your list from first research to final decision. ApplyWise walks you through each phase of the process — applications, financial aid, acceptance, appeals, and commitment — with a clear visual progress tracker for every school. Set deadlines, add notes, and never miss a critical date again.
For Families
Give a parent visibility into your application journey with a simple invite. They can follow your progress, see upcoming deadlines, and stay informed — without getting in the way.
For College Counselors
Manage an entire student roster from one dashboard. See each student's progress at a glance, track overdue deadlines across your caseload, and communicate directly through in-app messaging.

What's new (v1.0.4)
Bug Fixes & Improvements
Parents and students invited via a code are now automatically linked at registration — no extra steps needed.
Fixed an issue where invited users were incorrectly shown a 7-day trial screen. Only account creators are subject to the trial.
Students invited by a parent no longer see a redundant "academic goals" step — your parent already handled it.
Parents invited by a student no longer see the academic goals screen during setup.
Fixed a bug where the intro tour could appear more than once after logging out and back in.
The "Invite your student" dashboard tile now hides once an invite is already pending.
Messaging improvements: the coach contact option no longer appears for parent/student pairs without a coach assigned.
Coaches with no students can no longer access the notifications area.
