My son worked with Empowerly's college counselor and he was unbelievably rude!! He was condescending and was asking inappropriate questions! Very unethical and unprofessional!

Raisa has been an exceptional counselor throughout my college application journey. From the very beginning, she took the time to understand me as an individual, allowing her to provide invaluable guidance on how to best showcase my experiences and personality in my essays and activities list. Her dedication to her students is unmatched—she went above and beyond, even staying up past 1 AM to help me refine my essays and submit them on time. Raisa is not only passionate about her work but also highly responsive and incredibly knowledgeable. She always replied to my emails promptly, and her deep understanding of the college admissions process helped me present my strengths in the best light. She offered countless ideas on how to effectively convey my thoughts and thoroughly answer each essay prompt, ensuring that my responses reflected multiple dimensions of who I am. Her enthusiasm and commitment to helping students find the best college fit were evident throughout the entire process. She also helped me stay ahead of deadlines, which significantly reduced my stress throughout the whole admission process. Thanks to her support, I felt confident and well-prepared at every stage of the application process. I also want to highlight the excellent resources available through Empowerly. The essay editing service, in particular, provided detailed feedback from admissions officers. Additionally, the resource questions were always answered quickly and thoughtfully, with expert insights that helped guide my decisions. Thanks to Raisa and Empowerly, I felt fully supported throughout my college admissions process, and I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking expert guidance and unwavering support.

Mr. Medure has been incredibly helpful throughout the entire college application process, even meeting with me past 1 AM to review and edit hundreds of essays! He clearly understands what colleges are looking for and has helped me to write really nuanced essays that I wouldn't have thought about otherwise. I was initially worried about the state of my application; however, Mr. Medure worked with me extensively to ensure I stayed on track and built a strong application for top schools. I highly recommend him to potential students!!

Empowerly has been an enormous support for our daughter through the college application process. Raisa, in particular, has been an outstanding communicator, resource, and advocate for our family. Our daughter met with Raisa regularly and was guided thoughtfully from the initial considerations about where to apply through to the final submission deadlines. Thank you to Raisa most of all, and thanks to Empowerly.

Empowerly's resources have been invaluable in my college application process! Whether it be the adcom review process or the thorough essay editing help, they have provided me with many resources to write quality essays. They kept me on track and helped me write quality essays, providing me with the resources to succeed. My college application trajectory would not have been possible without them!

My counselor, Raisa, was instrumental in making sure I knew what extracurricular options were available to me, and did a great job at helping me with proper time management. In addition, Empowerly's timely essay editing feature was a huge asset to the quality of my college essays. And having multiple Ad Com reviews to gradually submit and and receive feedback on as I worked to improve my application were really eye-opening when trying to estimate the quality of my overall profile. Empowerly was definitely worth it.

Empowerly provides wonderful resources that have been extremely helpful and beneficial, such as Essay Editing, informative slideshows/documents, resource questions, and AdCom reviews. As the first person in my family going through the college admission process in the USA, Empowerly's resources have been guiding me throughout the entire process. I love working with my counselor, and her support throughout my college admissions process has been truly invaluable. No matter the time or day, she is always willing to offer help with editing essays, answering questions, etc.

My counselor, Mr. Ronnie Medure, has kept me on track every step of the way through college.

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.

Sharukh has been nothing but excellent. All this college application and essay writing is a tricky process, but Mr. Malik has guided me through what everyone else seems to have problems with. My friends are all bogged down and stressed about college application and the sort, but I've been given the blessing of ease, all thanks to Sharukh

I've been working with Mr. Malik as my counselor for about 7 months, and he's been incredibly helpful in every situation. He’s guided me through the process, showing me opportunities and helping me prepare for my college applications. He made good recommendations that helped me select the right AP courses in high school. He’s made everything clear and easy, always answering any questions my parents or I have. Thanks to him, we've stayed on track and know exactly what needs to be done.

It has been a privilege working with Shahrukh Malik over the past year. Shahrukh is a personification of humility and sincerity, and his commitment to our son’s long term success is unambiguous. Shahrukh has deep knowledge of admissions processes across the entire spectrum of colleges and universities and is able to guide our son at every step of the way with thoughtful and timely guidance. Shahrukh is ALWAYS prompt in his response to all our questions, and is particularly helpful to parents who are going through the complex admissions processes for the first time. We feel truly fortunate to have Sharukh in our lives and wish him the very best in his pursuit to help children and parents successfully navigate college admissions! Chak and Anu Raghunathan

My counselor Yiyi has been amazing to work with these past 6 months and I can't wait to continue working with her for the next year. Since the beginning, she has been thoroughly invested in my success and has been of great help. Yiyi has allowed me to find impactful extracurriculars that tie into my interests and career path and she has taken my application to the next level. She always has an answer for me and is easy to communicate with. I always look forward to meeting with her to discuss the next steps in my journey!

shakrukh is the goat

Shahrukh Malik is a great counselor, gives great advice, works hard, and is very knowledgeable. I have been using him for almost 1 year now, and it has been nothing but stellar!

Our eldest son's mentor, Shahrukh has been amazing. His professionalism, knowledge, dedication, flexibility, and clear communication make his help and support precious to our son. Even though Shahrukh has only been coaching our son while already enrolled in 11th grade, he still did his best to push him to the next level and came up with great ideas for his last summer in high school. During this crucial period, his guidance has been and continues to be extremely valuable throughout the current application process. We are sure our son's applications will be the best they could be. We are very happy and relieved to have Shahrukh. I also want to thank the essay editing team who support the essay process by providing clear and constructive feedback. Without hesitation, Shahrukh will also be our youngest son's counselor and I will highly recommend Empowerly and Shahrukh every time the opportunity presents itself.

Shahrukh is extremely helpful with the entire college application process. It is clear he knows exactly what he's doing and spends lots of time learning about his students. He has done an excellent job guiding me through this process and I strongly recommend him.

Yiyi is an amazing counselor. She is always looking for ways to improve my resume and she often does work outside of when she has to. She goes out of her way to do research for me and I could not be more grateful.

I have been working with Yiyi from the start of this year and so far, she has helped me so much. I was really worried about the state of my application and felt as if I was really behind. However, she worked with me extensively and made sure that I was on track to building a great application for top schools. I'm so grateful for her and her skills and I would definitely recommend her to everyone. Thanks so much, Yiyi!
