Our Numbers Speak for Themselves

During my college application process, Empowerly was there from start to finish. With their support and guidance, I was accepted into an amazing undergraduate program!

When my daughter started Empowerly in 10th grade, she immediately connected with her counselor Brooke, who helped her build her resume for the pre-med track. We can’t say enough good things about Brooke! Additionally, the awesome Empowerly team helped immensely with finding a UCSF research internship and editing essays. If you’re a parent unsure which counselor to pick, look no further and contact Empowerly!

My ideas were all over place, and I had trouble forming my experiences into a strong story about myself. The counselors at Empowerly were very helpful, and it was very accessible to schedule calls with them to brainstorm ideas.

I was extremely impressed with Empowerly and their team of counselors. I liked that they have a pool of counselors to choose from and the Empowerly team really works hard to match up the right counselor for your child.

I interviewed many college counselors and Empowerly stood out with its innovative, fresh approach. Our counselor was very helpful and a great fit, helping my son with the entire process. The AdCom Review was incredible, giving valuable, brutally honest feedback. My son applied to competitive CS/EECS programs, and he was accepted early to UC Berkeley (his top choice!) as a Regents' and Chancellor's Scholar.

Empowerly counseling was a very personal experience where I was encouraged to pursue my interests. If you’re wondering about how effective the process is, I would say that I accomplished more than I expected and got into schools that would have been out of my reach otherwise.

I found the company extremely helpful. The best part about the process is that Empowerly writing specialists worked through every sentence in order to fabricate a polished essay through guidance rather than direct edits.

I wholeheartedly mean it when I say I couldn't have asked for a better counselor/essay editor to look over my essays with as much care as Sheelah did. She really puts a lot of soul into her work and with her as my support system, I felt so much more confident and satisfied with the college applications I submitted. There wasn't a moment where I felt alone in this process.

Our Empowerly counselor has been awesome to work with and has inspired my son to really work hard during his senior year… to help discover his true passion and interests for college.

Thank you for helping SM over these last 2 years in his formative high school years, finding summer internships, and helping him get accepted to Harvard, UPenn M&T, Yale, JHU Biomedical (Hodson scholar), USC (full ride), and many others. With 70+ essays across 15+ college applications, SM wouldn't have finished so many applications with such high quality without Empowerly.

My experience with Empowerly was very good. My counselor was always available when I had quick questions and kept me on track. She made sure I scheduled recurring meetings at least once a week to reach my deadlines, and she'd read my essays before sessions to maximize our time.

Empowerly helped me get accepted to MIT Launch summer program (>10% acceptance rate), start my own environmental nonprofit, and intern with Dr. June Flora at Stanford University. I worked with Empowerly on 50+ essays and finished all of them by November. I was accepted to Columbia, Duke, Carnegie Mellon, USC, and more. I also have a deeper insight about my career and the impact I want to make in the world.
