Yiyi is 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.

Shahrukh Malik helped my son navigate the challenging admissions process to top colleges. He was extremely helpful and provided invaluable advice as it relates to essay ideas, college list, etc. He also helped my son organize his junior year summer plans to better position him and maximize his own potential. We are very happy with the Empowerly service and in particular with Shahrukh's personalized and dedicated approach to the application process. We really feel he got to know our son and kept him on track.

I love how he is very engaged in my success and what I should do to get into the right schools. He answers all my questions and it makes me comfortable to know that I have a good person helping me with my future.

My son is currently a junior at a high school in the East coast, and has been working with Shahrukh since his freshman year. We interviewed several counselors until we found him. Shahrukh is a kind, calm and patient who cares my son’s growth genuinely, He was helping my son find right extracurricular activities and a research program that match his interests. He gives clear direction on anything we ask him about, we’re lucky to have him as our mentor.

cannot recommend my college counselor Shahrukh highly enough! From day one, he has been incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in my success. He took the time to understand my goals, strengths, and concerns, helping me navigate every step of the college application process with confidence. His personalized advice on selecting schools and writing essays made a huge difference. What stood out the most was his patience and willingness to go above and beyond to ensure I felt prepared and informed. Thanks to his guidance, I feel much more confident in my applications. Overall, he is a very empathetic counselor!

My son is currently a sophomore at a high school in the San Francisco Bay Area, and has been working with Shahrukh since his freshman year. The counseling sessions with Shahrukh have been incredibly informative, offering my son and us valuable insights into the college admission process. Shahrukh has a knack for recognizing his students' strengths and helping them realize their true potential. He assisted my son in pinpointing his interests and created a well-structured plan to guide him from the start. Shahrukh is also well-versed in local school programs and ensures that his guidance aligns with these programs. He played a crucial role in helping my son find extracurricular activities and a research program that match his interests. Shahrukh consistently challenges his students and instills confidence without overwhelming them. My son always looks forward to his sessions with Shahrukh.

Sharukh is excellent: attentive, engaged, holistic in his approach. He works well with high achievers. We interviewed several counselors until we found the right fit, we could not be happier with Sharukh.

Shahrukh is a super kind and helpful instructor who cares genuinely and deeply about his students and their success. What makes him so great is his calmness and patience, and his ability to reassure you when you have doubts about yourself. I think all his students would agree with me when I say that we’re lucky to have him as our mentor.

My entire time working with Shahrukh has been amazing; he takes time with everything he does, and he has a great amount of patience. He has been very helpful in my college application process, from guiding me with essay writing, and motivating me to do my best regardless of my doubts. I enjoy working with Shahrukh very much!

Raisa Alam is an amazing counselor and above all a wonderful human being. Extremely courteous and responsive. She has a lot of knowledge and gives wonderful suggestions. She understands the problem areas immediately and tries to help out. If I do enroll again At Empowerly I will select her.

My daughter got accepted into top tech schools like Caltech, UC Berkeley, Georgia Tech etc for Engineering. This wouldn't have been possible without the support of Empowerly and especially Kathie (Kate C). Kathie was a remarkable counselor who clearly understood my daughter's needs, strengths, goals, and helped her to prepare and strategize her college application. Kate C provided valuable and practical input towards courses, extracurriculars, college list, activity list, essay plan and structure. She answered all our questions with care and thought. Her counseling greatly helped my daughter view the big picture, gain clarity and make the right decisions during her high school journey. I would highly recommend Kate C as a counselor for students interested in pursuing STEM majors in college. I also want to give a shout out to the essay editing team (Analise, Mandy, Jane Ju and others) who supported the essay process by giving prompt and useful feedback . The essay dashboard in Empowerly is very helpful, but needs to have a feature where a student can reply and ask follow-up questions to the essay editor. I already recommended Empowerly to my friends and they have enrolled. Thanks!!

Great service. My councilor Ben helped me get into my dream school.

Empowerly's services helped me greatly throughout my college application process with all of their support and resources. My counselor, Mr. Ronnie Medure, helped me get into the colleges I was aiming for and expertly guided me as I crafted my essays and extracurricular portfolio. With their assistance, I was able to get into many colleges like UC Berkeley, UC Santa Barbara, University of Washington, etc. I highly recommend their services to anyone who is looking for college counseling!

Empowerly has been an amazing help through my college application experience. My counselor, Raisa Alam provided extremely personalized and flexible guidance in shaping my resume, finding internships, and writing college essays. She was very responsive outside of working hours and showed genuine interest in using her personal expertise, plus the tools that empowerly offers, to offer me the best guidance in this stressful process.

I would like to THANK Mr. Medure for providing amazing help and support to my daughter during her college admission process. Due to his guidance my daughter was able to secure admission in top programs/schools including Wharton School of Business and the Canfield Business Honors Program at the University of Texas at Austin (with full tuition scholarships). He utilized his expertise to guide my daughter in crafting a personalized strategy and a school list based on her strengths, and interests. His guidance in helping her frame her story around her extracurricular activities, coupled with his keen eye for resume building, truly set her application apart. His thorough feedback and guidance during the editing and polishing of essays and interview prep helped highlight the detailed aspects of my daughters’ accomplishments in the best way possible. Furthermore, Mr. Medure's availability and approachability were amazing. He was always just a call or email away, ready to provide guidance, address concerns, or offer encouragement whenever needed. His genuine care for my daughter's success created a very supportive environment that eased the stress of the college application process. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Ronnie Medure to any student seeking guidance in their college admission journey. He is not just a counselor but a true mentor and advocate for student success.

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.

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!

Empowerly was an incredible resource during my high school planning and college application process. I have been with Empowerly since my freshman year of high school, and my counselors Brooke and Raisa were extremely helpful when it came to navigating everything from high school course planning to summer program opportunities to college applications. The college application process would have been very overwhelming, but my counselors’ support in brainstorming and planning my essays, alongside Empowerly’s amazing essay-editing team, was a tremendous help and made the process so much less burdensome. I am currently a senior and will be attending my dream school in the fall, and I can confidently say that Empowerly helped me achieve that!

Daniel Malki has been an outstanding college consultant, offering personalized and insightful guidance that has made the college application process much less daunting. His expertise and attention to detail have greatly increased my confidence in my admissions prospects for next year. Daniel's support makes me feel secure and optimistic, distinguishing him as a truly exceptional consultant in his field.

Mr. Ronnie Medure helped me get into CMU and UC Berkeley! His insightful feedback for my application specifics and tremendous support helped make the whole process easier. If essay writing seems like a daunting task, then Mr. Medure would be a really great help for all college-related material.
