Testimonials
What Empowerly students and their families are saying.
“My Empowerly experience has been amazing with the support of tons of counselors, various resources, and internship help. When you sign up at Empowerly and choose a package, you get so much more than just the counseling sessions.”
– Geethikaa T.
“I joined Empowerly towards the end of my junior year, and after meeting with a few counselors, I paired with Dr. Lalwani. He guided me throughout the whole process and broke it down into steps, making it clear that I would still need to work hard, but that I would have the resources and support to answer any questions and help me in any way I might need.”
– David G.
“Empowerly has been immensely helpful for me. The counseling sessions help me get the assistance I need to work on college applications so that I don’t feel so lost. The counselors themselves are amazing at their jobs and are very kind. Additionally, Empowerly has amazing resources such as essay editing, research questions, and the AdCom review. These are all very helpful tools to increase one’s chances of getting into their dream college/university.”
– Emily P.
“My counselor and she is very helpful. She guided my activities list, helped revise essays, and helped plan my overall college application. She also helped with non-college things such as essay competitions and getting internships.”
– Leo J.
“I’m a senior right now with Empowerly, but have been with the program since sophomore year. I’ve found the services to be very helpful, and especially so in my senior year with essay writing. My counselor is so helpful when it comes to brainstorming ideas for supplementals and framing the experiences I’ve had in school in a unique way. He’s helped me find my voice as a writer in this process, and I’m very grateful for it! He is also very easy to meet with, and intentionally keeps his schedule open even late into the night for his PST students (we’ve had calls to edit essays together close to midnight).”
– Pranavi R.
“Empowerly has two great things going for it- a right well supported process and really great advisors. The former provides structure, clarity and joint access to students and parents. The latter ensures that the students have someone they trust and someone who is knowledgeable through the process. Charmaine advised both of our daughters – one two years ago and one now. She’s amazing!”
– Kevin W.
“I joined Empowerly in the beginning of senior year of high school. My counselor immediately worked with me to brainstorm essay ideas, build resume, and offered a valuable perspective in the process. He was very prompt with his responses and ensured that I stay on track.The Essay Editorial team was also fantastic. The whole process is streamlined and helps reduce stress and anxiety. I highly recommend Empowerly.”
– Monika T.
“I decided to join Empowerly during my sophomore year and am happy with my decision. My counselor has given me many valuable insights on how to improve my essays, and, especially, my activity list. It’s made the whole process of applying to colleges feel much less overwhelming because I’m being guided into what steps to take.”
