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.

Recommend Mr Medure Mr. Ronnie Medure helped my daughter get into CMU Engineering! Thank you for all the guidance, support, and positivity throughout the college application process.

Incredibly helpful service! Empowerly has been an amazing help through my college application experience. My counselor, Raisa Alam provided extremely personalized and flexible guidance in shaping my resume, finding internships, and writing college essays. She was very responsive outside of working hours and showed genuine interest in using her personal expertise, plus the tools that empowerly offers, to offer me the best guidance in this stressful process.

An Incredible Resource! Empowerly was an incredible resource during my high school planning and college application process. I have been with Empowerly since my freshman year of high school, and my counselors Brooke and Raisa were extremely helpful when it came to navigating everything from high school course planning to summer program opportunities to college applications. The college application process would have been very overwhelming, but my counselors’ support in brainstorming and planning my essays, alongside Empowerly’s amazing essay-editing team, was a tremendous help and made the process so much less burdensome. I am currently a senior and will be attending my dream school in the fall, and I can confidently say that Empowerly helped me achieve that!

Sharukh is a Knowledgeable and Dedicated Counselor 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.
