We've had a really great experience with Empowerly overall. My son's coach, Lara, has been absolutely amazing—she’s incredibly detail-oriented and has guided him through so many important parts of the college process. From choosing schools and writing essays to understanding merit vs. need-based aid, she’s helped him feel confident and organized every step of the way. The only reasons I didn’t give a full five stars are a couple of small things. In the beginning, we were told my son would have unlimited email access to his coach, but later found out that communication time is actually capped at 45 minutes. Also, we felt the final AdCom review could’ve offered more in-depth feedback or suggestions—it seemed a bit light considering how valuable that input could be. Even with those minor issues, I’d definitely recommend Lara and Empowerly to any student navigating the college admissions process.

My experience has been great because having the support of my counselor and the essay review team has lifted a great deal of stress off me.

Empowerly has been a great help so far for my college journey. The thing that has most stood out is the amount of resources that their website provides. They have an extensive list of internships, good accepted essays to learn from, accepted profiles of individuals, and 1 on 1 meetings with counselors that are there to help you at every step. Their support team is also great, responding back within minutes to try to help your needs. So far, my experience with Empowerly has been really impactful.

My counselor Katharine Chu was super helpful with all of my essays! Really appreciate it!

Empowerly has been one of the best resources I've used for college admissions! The college counselors on the Empowerly team offer amazing feedback and truly care for the students' success, taking detailed and extensive looks at my admissions profile and offering detailed feedback that bolstered my academics, essays and activities dramatically. The Empowerly score provided great feedback into combining all of my admissions aspects holistically and allowed me to point out areas of strengths and weaknesses. Their essay editing team has been top notch with quick turnaround times and extensive feedback. Most of all, the Adcom feedback is where Empowely shined for me as the ability to get real time feedback through mock admissions reviews offers the closest and most realistic feedback to college admissions thus far. In a world where obscure and blinding advice runs rampant across college admissions, Empowerly breaks through these barriers and allows their students to succeed. Overall, Empowerly has been an awesome college admissions resource that I would highly recommend!

Ashley McNaughton worked with my son to narrow down his list of schools and prepare his application. She was incredibly helpful providing feedback and guidance on writing his essays. We worked quickly on a tight timeline, and Ashley was quick and thorough and gave us everything we needed as a true professional. I highly recommend using her and Empowerly.

I have really enjoyed working with my counselors as well as the essay editing team. Their help throughout this process has really allowed me to strengthen my essays overall. I definitely could not have gone through this experience without Empowerly.

My counselor has prepared me very well for the college application process. David is very insightful and supportive of everything we’ve needed to succeed.
