I did not have great experience with Empowerly as a senior, a few years ago, but my sister has changed my perspective on Empowerly. Her counselor Megan is very responsible, knowledgeable, and caring. She is truly making a big difference in this application season and I can tell that she is being a big help to Annie, helping her through this process. Thank you Megan for making Empowerly so amazing for seniors like her!

I began working with Empowerly in early August to help prepare, manage, and revise my college applications. Thanks to their one-on-one counseling service, I was able to get excellent insight on how to write a strong main essay and supplemental essay with guidance from my counselor, Cheryl. I am so grateful for the resources and advice I have received to really solidify and strengthen my overall application!

My daughter Annie is a senior in high school, and working with Megan from Empowerly has been a wonderful experience. Megan is incredibly organized and consistently keeps everything on track. Her professional advice has been invaluable, and you can genuinely feel that she cares deeply about the students she works with. As a parent, I don’t need to worry because I have people like Megan to help us. I truly appreciate all the support she’s provided and wholeheartedly recommend Empowerly to other families navigating the college admissions process.

We’ve been working with Empowerly, and specifically with our son Aarav’s college counselor, Shahrukh — and we could not be happier with the experience. From day one, Shahrukh has taken the time to really understand who Aarav is: what he’s interested in, what he’s genuinely excited by, and what he wants for himself long-term. His guidance is not generic or checkbox-driven. Instead of trying to force Aarav into a cookie-cutter profile, he builds around Aarav’s actual strengths and passions. What we appreciate most is the balance he brings. He’s incredibly encouraging and motivating, but he’s also honest. He doesn’t sugarcoat how difficult it is to get into Aarav’s dream schools. He shows Aarav clear examples of what it takes — the level of work, the depth of commitment, and the type of impact top schools are looking for — and then helps him map out how to get there. That combination of support and realism has been invaluable. Shahrukh is also intentional about helping Aarav grow, not just “package” himself. He highlights what Aarav already does well, while actively pushing him to strengthen areas of opportunity. We would highly recommend Empowerly, and especially Shahrukh, to any family. They focus on your child as an individual — their interests, their voice, their goals — and that makes all the difference.

Empowerly is a great way for me to work on my college applications in the most beneficial and helpful way! I am so happy to get to work with them.

Mr.Malik knows the college admission process so well that I haven’t felt like there’s a question he couldn’t answer. I never felt behind because he sets the pace of what needs to be done and when to do it. I also appreciate Emma and Joyana for their helpful input on my essays, especially their thought-invoking questions that get me going.

It is pleasure to work with Empowerly for my daughter’s college counseling. We just got started and had 3 sessions so far and it was clear that we want to go with them. I interviewed 3 firms before and was looking for some level of customization to my daughter’s needs as opposed to fixed packages others sell. Empowerly did everything to accommodate our requests. Happy customer so far.

Overall a great choice for college counseling – the essay editing service and adcom reviews are a great resource to have and have certainly strengthened my application. Working with Maya has been great and I have no complaints!
