Empowerly truly cares about their students and does their very best to assist students in every way possible. Their counselors are very knowledgable and lead students in the right way.

My counselor Marilu was very helpful throughout the essay process. She has been willing to help me brainstorm and look over all of my essays since the start. I have also appreciated Empowerly’s AdCom feature, where a past admissions officer reads my application. These have been especially helpful in noting area of my application to improve.

Empowerly stands out with their services, like AdCom Review and Essay Edits. My son worked with Mr. Ronnie Medure. If you can chose your counselor you will not find a finer advocate for your student. My son just got accepted to Tufts! Throughout this whole college journey Mr Medure has been encouraging and extremely patient He has a tremendous amount of insights into every college and the whole industry. Mr Medure recognized that my son had a real talent for math. He suggested research and a Multi-Variable Calculus course at UCSD. I believe this gave my son an edge in his application. He also nudged him to improve his SAT score and he ended up with a 1550. One of the best things about Mr Medure is that he is honest, in a tactful way, like if you are aiming too high or putting too much pressure on your kid. He will push back because he genuinely cares about your kid. Lastly, I must have emailed him five times a week, for three years, with anxious questions. He responded promptly and calmly with brilliant solutions. He doubles as a therapist. I recommend Mr Ronnie Medure without hesitation.

Marilu and the Empowerly team have been incredibly supportive throughout my college application process. They helped me stay organized, confident, and clear about my goals. Marilu always listened to my ideas and gave thoughtful, personalized feedback that truly improved my applications. The resources and guidance from Empowerly made a huge difference in reducing stress. I’m very grateful for their help and highly recommend them to any student!

As a parent of 3 in high school I was becoming very overwhelmed with the college application process in general. Empowerly has a step by step system customized to each student to keep us organized and up to date with all of the details and deadlines. Our specific counselor, Lisa Lindberg, is very friendly and knowledgeable and gives great advice. We've been very impressed with Lisa and Empowerly. We would highly recommend.

Before using Empowerly, I was very overwhelmed with the college admissions process and didn't know how to approach it. Through their professional systems and staff, I was able to find out more about who I am and how I want to showcase that to the admissions officers. Features such as the Essay Review Team, Mock Admissions and Ratings, as well as regular meetings with my counselor have made a tremendous impact and improvement to my application.

Throughout the past couple of months I have spent with Empowerly, I have found myself feeling more and more confident in my ability to get into a good college. Up until then, I had been struggling to find internships and summer programs to apply to, figuring out how to choose the right courses in high school, and even what degree I really wanted to apply for. With Empowerly's wide variety of resources, from your personal counselor to the ability to ask resource questions to even their evaluations of your full application, I became a whole lot more confident in applying. They have made the admissions process a lot easier! I would definitely recommend them!

Empowerly has been a really helpful part of my college application process. Working with my Empowerly counselor, Raisa Alam, has given me steady guidance throughout the college application process—she’s helped me stay organized, think through choices, feel more confident in my direction, and is always available when I need support or have last-minute questions. On top of that individual support, Empowerly’s broader system for essays and application review has been especially valuable. Their essay editing goes well beyond fixing grammar, helping me refine my ideas, structure my responses, and keep my voice consistent across different prompts. The Adcom-style feedback has also been incredibly helpful, giving me a realistic sense of how my application might be read in an actual admissions context and pointing out concrete ways to improve. With the combination of Raisa’s support, detailed essay feedback, and holistic application review, I feel much more prepared submitting my applications and would definitely recommend Empowerly to other students.
