Joyce Smith and Empowerly are wonderful 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.

Great counselor! Mr. Ronnie Medure helped me get into CMU and UC Berkeley! His insightful feedback for my application specifics and tremendous support helped make the whole process easier. If essay writing seems like a daunting task, then Mr. Medure would be a really great help for all college-related material.

Excellent Experience 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.

I joined Empowerly in sophomore I joined Empowerly in sophomore. My counselor, Shahrukh Malik, has given me many valuable insights on how to plan my summer program, course selection and activity list. His guidance is helping me planning for the whole process.

Ben is a counselor that always puts in the effort for his students! 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!
