I have had a great experience with Empowerly as a high school senior. My counselor Stacy has been incredible in helping me with the process. She is patient, clear, and precise, which has helped me navigate the difficult application process.

Ben take the time to look over essays, schools and different methods to make sure that getting into college is an achievable task! I recommend him if you need a counselor and is someone that could benefit you a lot!

The resources available at Empowerly are very helpful, but my favorite part about this program is the honesty that everyone in this program works with. My counselor Mrs. Joyce Smith is amazing at picking apart her students and finding their strengths that colleges will fight for. She will tell you when an essay is not working well or where your application is lacking, but when she compliments your work, you know that she genuinely means it. In my past experiences, many tend to sugarcoat, but honesty like hers are what will get students into competitive universities. I have received acceptances into honors programs at UT Austin, Pomona College, and top scholarships to TCU with her help.

They are very good at counseling! Especially Sharukh. Sharukh would often pick up late night calls and answer texts about questions (All of these did not count towards billed hours), and he is very supportive and honest towards his students' goals and aspirations.

Empowerly was a wonderful, much-needed guide through a difficult and confusing process. Annalise S was a wonderful advisor and helped not just with the actual logistics of the process but with managing the stress and uncertainties involved. Annalise was there for me at every step and went above and beyond to provide detailed and rapid answers to any questions. The essay reviews and brainstorming sessions in particular were immensely enlightening and helped me orient my writing away from high school-style and toward that necessitated by college applications. In the end, the work I completed was my own, but Empowerly and Annalise provided me the advice and confidence I needed to put my best foot forward. And for reference, I was indeed accepted to my top choice school, an Ivy. :)

I decided to join Empowerly during my sophomore year of college and am happy with my decision. My counselor, Shahrukh Malik, has given me many valuable insights on how to improve my essays, and, especially, my activity list. It's made the whole process of applying to colleges feel much less overwhelming because I'm being guided into what steps to take.
