Built by students,
for students.

One free platform.
Real outcomes.

The college-prep industry sells students $4,000 admission advisors, $80-an-hour tutors, and 600-page workbooks they never finish. We think every kid deserves the same edge as the kids who can afford that — without the cost.

Choose and Rise is built around three habits that compound: plan your future (majors, courses, schools), train every day (residency checks, vocab, writing), and get help on demand (Nova AI, your study coach). One account, no upsells.

You see the plan.
They do the work.

Choose and Rise gives parents a weekly digest of where their student is spending time — without surveilling every keystroke. You see streaks, score trends, and major shortlists. You don't see their Nova chats.

200 students,
one dashboard.

If you're the only counselor for half a senior class, you don't have time for one-by-one Common App reviews. Our counselor view shows you who's behind on deadlines, whose practice scores have stalled, and which kids are still undecided on a major two months before applications open.

Free for any US public-school counselor. Email us with your school address.

Class catalogs.
Mapped.

We pull every public US high school's class catalog from NCES, then map every major in the IPEDS database to the specific courses a student can take at their school. AP Stat at Lincoln HS isn't AP Stat at Roosevelt — the AP score is what gets reported, but what the kid learned is different. We track the actual curriculum.
