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.

Mr. Ronnie Medure helped my daughter get into Wharton! I would like to THANK Mr. Medure for providing amazing help and support to my daughter during her college admission process. Due to his guidance my daughter was able to secure admission in top programs/schools including Wharton School of Business and the Canfield Business Honors Program at the University of Texas at Austin (with full tuition scholarships). He utilized his expertise to guide my daughter in crafting a personalized strategy and a school list based on her strengths, and interests. His guidance in helping her frame her story around her extracurricular activities, coupled with his keen eye for resume building, truly set her application apart. His thorough feedback and guidance during the editing and polishing of essays and interview prep helped highlight the detailed aspects of my daughters’ accomplishments in the best way possible. Furthermore, Mr. Medure's availability and approachability were amazing. He was always just a call or email away, ready to provide guidance, address concerns, or offer encouragement whenever needed. His genuine care for my daughter's success created a very supportive environment that eased the stress of the college application process. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Ronnie Medure to any student seeking guidance in their college admission journey. He is not just a counselor but a true mentor and advocate for student success.
