Ringing in the New Year at WiseChoice

So, we’re one month in to the new year, and we decided it was time to talk about some of the latest and greatest goings-on here at WiseChoice. In the past few months, we’ve made several changes and additions to the site that we want to share with you.

For starters, we launched the WiseChoice for Professionals Educator Resource Center, where teachers, guidance counselors, independent educational consultants and other professionals can go to access a variety of free resources on a number of different topics.  Download helpful college planning and financial aid handouts, review programs featured in the Scholarship Spotlight and check out the highlighted College of the Day and Career Corner listings.  Also, when educators create an account using WiseChoice for Professionals (it’s free!), we provide access codes they can distribute to their students. Students using access codes at WiseChoice can then share their accounts with their counselors/advisors. This gives educators an opportunity to monitor and guide students through the entire college planning process when using the WiseChoice system. You can check out this new and innovative resource for educators at www.wisechoice.com/pro.

Also, we have updated the way we present college lists and college match recommendations to members of WiseChoice. Our product development team has been working to improve the college search features, and our website now  allows members greater flexibility in saving and sorting their school lists and college matches. Students can now create, edit, and save personalized lists of schools. When viewing college lists, members have a variety of filter options to sort and view the schools they are evaluating. Members are still able to compare colleges side-by-side, view their college match scores, see their odds of admission and sort schools by a variety of filters.

As a side note, the WiseChoice company holiday party was a resounding success. We gathered our team together at Mitchell’s Fish Market in Jacksonville, Florida for a wonderful evening of great conversation and excellent food. Here’s a picture of the crew at Mitchell’s, celebrating 2010 accomplishments and looking forward to new and fantastic things at WiseChoice in 2011.
