The sooner you get started, the better prepared you will be! All four years of high school are important for college admissions, and you don’t want to waste any time—or miss an important opportunity to stand out. We work with students as young as middle school, but the majority of our students come to us in sophomore (10th grade) or junior year (11th grade) of high school. Don’t fret if you’re already applying—it’s not too late to polish your application materials to make the most of your story.
For your convenience, we hold all of our counselor meetings through video chat online. This allows us to easily connect you to our team of experts across the country. What’s more, our extensive suite of online tools are available 24/7 whenever you need to access your dashboard. Integrating virtual sessions with this system means that your counselor is more accessible and eliminates the travel time for students — so you can focus on what matters most.
With Empowerly Elite, you will have your own dedicated counselor who is a former admissions official at one of the nation's top universities including Harvard, Yale, Stanford, UChicago, UC Berkeley, UPenn & Columbia.
The Empowerly difference lies in our personalized team-based approach. We give you the power of a network of successful individuals and “always on” resources to ensure you have all the tools to reach your fullest potential. While other college and career advising services rely on a single individual to give you all the guidance you seek, we find that this one-dimensional approach often isn’t enough for applicants’ success.
