Mr. Kndeya is an outstanding counselor at Empowerly. He brings a rare blend of deep industry expertise, professionalism, and genuine empathy to the college prep process. He took the time to truly connect with and understand our son, keeping him encouraged and focused on achieving his target goals. If you're looking for an insightful and authentic mentor for your child's undergraduate journey, he is top-tier."

Everyone at Empowerly is professional and dedicated, especially grateful for Joyana and Emma’s help with essay edits and Raisa for summer program recommendations. Overall, Empowerly did absolutely help my student stay organized during application time which was important going through it for the first time. I feel Empowerly did not improve my student’s overall chance getting into better colleges than what they would have gotten in anyway. The process was streamlined but could have been more personalized, there were also a few important missed opportunities. We also had a wide variety of quality with the essay editing team and resource team, which felt outside of our control who we got which was frustrating at very critical times. Turn around times for email responses from counselors were amazing, speaking to their dedication. Without Empowerly the application process would have been much more stressful.

My son got into the college he was looking for. With Sharukh the whole college application process was smooth. He is very knowledgeable

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.

The counselor and the services they provide has truly helped my daughter's college application and navigate on what she wants in the future. I will say I believe their sessions are a bit too short at 45 minutes. However, they do go above and beyond to make sure everything goes perfectly.

It has been great. We were able to assess multiple mentors and selected the mentor that worked best for us. Value the inputs provided by our mentor

We've had a really great experience with Empowerly overall. My son's coach, Lara, has been absolutely amazing—she’s incredibly detail-oriented and has guided him through so many important parts of the college process. From choosing schools and writing essays to understanding merit vs. need-based aid, she’s helped him feel confident and organized every step of the way. The only reasons I didn’t give a full five stars are a couple of small things. In the beginning, we were told my son would have unlimited email access to his coach, but later found out that communication time is actually capped at 45 minutes. Also, we felt the final AdCom review could’ve offered more in-depth feedback or suggestions—it seemed a bit light considering how valuable that input could be. Even with those minor issues, I’d definitely recommend Lara and Empowerly to any student navigating the college admissions process.

Empowerly has been a great help so far for my college journey. The thing that has most stood out is the amount of resources that their website provides. They have an extensive list of internships, good accepted essays to learn from, accepted profiles of individuals, and 1 on 1 meetings with counselors that are there to help you at every step. Their support team is also great, responding back within minutes to try to help your needs. So far, my experience with Empowerly has been really impactful.
