Founded by students, for students
WiseBird was founded by me: Micah Cohen. I went into the process with a poor GPA, poor test scores, and sub-par extracurriculars. There was nothing distinguishing about my application. However, I soon realized that all I needed to do was present myself not as just an applicant, but rather a story. A complex, evolving tale that wouldn’t just boost a college’s statistics, but actually make a real impact on campus. I was accepted to every school I applied to, and, in terms of my grades and test scores, I was in the bottom 1% of nearly every school I was accepted to. This strategy is the special sauce of WiseBird, and can be applied to anyone and everyone who receives counseling from WiseBird.
A message from a Counselor
I started WiseBird because I remember how confusing and impersonal the college process could feel. Too often, students are treated like numbers instead of people with stories, ambitions, and unique voices. At WiseBird, the goal is simple: help students present the strongest, most authentic version of themselves while giving them honest guidance and support every step of the way. The best applications are not manufactured. They are thoughtful, personal, and real. That is what we work to create with every student we meet.
