I had Elizabeth Venturini as my advisor, and she did a great job at being a source of guidance and helping me develop my professional skills, which were probably my overall weakest aspect. She's also just very funny and caring, which is are both highly appreciated for someone in her position. I would highly recommend working with her.

Accepted to Boston University 2027!
I set up a consultation where my college goals and profile were discussed, and based on criteria such as my academic course level, desired schools, and connecting extracurricular activities, I was able to choose Quincy!
Quincy was great, helping me navigate a beginning list of target, reach, and safety schools and helping me find a realistic view of my options for college. Quincy was super honest and kept it real with me, telling me if my work wasn't where it could be and always telling me when I was excelling or areas I needed work for my essay writing. His feedback after each draft of my essays, along with the super helpful empowering writing team helped me essay I didn't think I would be able to with my writing levels.
I was accepted to Boston University, my top school, and was actually considered a reach for me, where I will be studying Computer Science. If your college destination is something important to you, I definitely recommend working with Empowerly, although you need to be willing to put in the work, and I definitely recommend working with Quincy!

Quincy is a wonderful counselor that was able to read my daughter and her needs. She was reluctant to have help but she could not have done it without Quincy. He has just the right personality for her and was very responsive when we sent emails to him. I think Quincy is very professional but can and does lead his students to do a lot of critical preparation and thinking when making their college choice! Thank you!

Empowerly and Shahrukh Malik
Empowerly has a lot of useful resources on its portal, for internships, research oppurtunities, activities, and essays. Most of all, the counselor Empowerly matched me with, Shahrukh, has been great. He has a lot of knowledge of education/goals past college as well, which I feel is very important.

We only started a couple months back
We only started a couple months back, so maybe it's a bit too early to say. Out of all counselor candidates, Ronnie is the obvious choice for us. He is always to the point when answering our questions and giving advices. He responses to my emails quickly, often within 24 hours. My son resisted the idea of college counselling at the beginning, but I think he had a good start with Ronnie.

Great Help From Empowerly and Raisa Alam!
The Empowerly RSP counseling sessions were very helpful in guiding me through the necessary steps for my research. Especially with the help of Raisa Alam, I was able to find various research topics that I am interested in. Overall, I felt that the one-on-one sessions were accommodating where I was able to talk freely about my interests, strengths, weaknesses, etc.
