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.

Super personalized and willing to help Their one-on-one sessions were very helpful to keep me on the right track and they were always open to answer whatever questions I had. My sessions with their counselor, Raisa, have been very enlightening. She has taught me a lot about the process and always has my best interests in mind - she does not try to drag things out and is ready to provide me with any resources I might need!

Mr. Ronnie Medure is an exceptional counselor! Highly recommend Mr. Ronnie Medure. His exceptional guidance helped our son get accepted to top colleges, like UC Berkeley, University of Michigan, UC Davis and other top universities for Computer Science and Engineering majors!! He helped make the daunting task of preparation for college applications and the application process very smooth. He was always available for any questions and provided valuable feedback on all aspects of the process. Overall highly recommend the very professional service provided by Empowerly and especially Mr. Ronnie Medure.
