Empowerly has been so helpful to me for my journey applying to college. They offer so many resources from essay editing to providing scholarships and internship opportunities. The counselors have done such a great job supporting me and helping me keep track of the steps I need to take when applying to college!

Great Experience
We started with empowerly over the summer and so far we have received positive experiences. We chose to have a primary counselor for overall college planning and a secondary counselor for more specific medicine field related counseling.

Empowerly is very helpful
I truly love Empowerly for so many different reasons. My counselors help me tremendously with ideas for college, along with telling me what specific colleges are looking for. The Empowerly page has so many unique sites and resources that I can use; it is amazing!

So far the experience with Empowerly…
So far the experience with Empowerly has been good, everything the counsellor has instructed us on has been perfectly followed and executed, we are waiting for the results now. The Empowerly counsellor is good so far from what we know, my daughter has done and is doing everything that he is asking her to do, at the end the result is what speaks for the program. We are new to this college admission process and this is such an important milestone in a student's career and life, so we have trusted Empowerly to help us with this decision. I hope it works out great, we are waiting for the results, I will post another review if my daughter really made it to the college of her choice.
Here are the benefits so far,
#1 - One key differentiator that empowerly made for us is that we did not know that doing SAT multiple times is so worth it, our counsellor instructed us and made my daughter take it and improved the score.
#2 - The counsellor has a comprehensive understanding of all the tiers, the colleges and is able to recommend taking into account our perspective
#3 - The counsellor has also committed to helping us make an all inclusive decision considering the college reputation, the cost, the financial aid and the fit for the program etc.
We are keeping our fingers crossed and looking forward to the decision from the college...

Empowerly Review
Empowerly has aided me a lot in the process of college counseling. As an only child, I didn't really understand the complexities of the process, but Empowerly helped me solve all my issues. I got to meet so many counselors, and choose one that best suited my personality. Additionally, I really enjoyed the essay editing tools and ADcom review that have allowed me to get feedback on my essays and application before I submit my applications. I would recommend Empowerly to anyone needing clarification or guidance in the process of college applications!

Great!
Empowerly has been such a great support for me. Sophie is a very patient and kind mentor, and I can't appreciate her help enough. The essay editor tool has also been a great help in writing my Personal Statement and supplementals!

Excellent guidance and support
My son had a great experience working with Katharine at Empowerly. She was incredibly supportive and always went an extra mile to help him refine his essays and find the right way to express his story. Her feedback was specific, thoughtful, and made a big difference in my applications. Highly recommend her and the Empowerly team!

Our experience with Empowerly was worth every penny
Our experience with Empowerly was worth every penny. Our counselor, Allison, was extremely experienced in putting together a plan to submit our best college applications possible. She guided my daughter through the whole process, helping her with a comprehensive strategy to apply to some of the most competitive schools in New England. She made herself available during off-hours for meetings. She sent us all detailed meeting notes and next steps to make sure we were on track to meet our deadlines to submit. She edited essays, extracurriculars and all content. She helped us leverage the Empowerly review team and brough several resources to the table to help us communicate my daughters resume in ways he would have never thought of. Our family truly appreciates all the effort Allison put in and we would work with them again in a heartbeat.
