Empowerly College Counseling - San Francisco, California

My son, a high school sophomore, has been working with Empowerly for the past six months, and we’ve had a great experience. We’re especially grateful to have Shahrukh as our counselor—he’s highly organized, knowledgeable, and experienced in college admissions.
He meets with us regularly and has been a huge help in guiding our son to explore school clubs, find and apply summer internships that fit his interests, and plan out his coursework for the coming years. Thanks to his support, the college application process feels much more manageable, and we’re no longer stressed about what comes next.
We’re really happy with Empowerly and look forward to continuing with them in the years ahead.

My son is currently a sophomore at a high school in the San Francisco Bay Area and has been working with Empowerly since his freshman year. Empowerly has developed a well-structured, four-year program tailored to his high school journey. After discussing his interests and future goals, they clearly defined the courses he should take each year.

Our counselor meets with us regularly to track his progress and provide insightful guidance to help him excel in his focus areas. Empowerly also offers a vast resource bank for extracurricular activities, and our counselor has been instrumental in helping us utilize these resources effectively.

Overall, we are very satisfied with our son’s progress and look forward to continuing with Empowerly in the coming years.

As a current senior, the college application process was very overwhelming for me and I started much later than I should have. I joined Empowerly in October, and my counselor helped me immediately start on my application essays. I was able to meet all of my Early Action deadlines thanks to the guidance and support I received from not only my counselor, but also other essay editors. Empowerly has so many helpful features for its students, such as a large database with internship & scholarship opportunities, fast essay-editing, and the opportunity to have my complete application reviewed by their team. I was accepted into my dream school and am so happy I chose Empowerly!

As a senior, starting college applications was rather nerve-wrecking and I felt lost on where to start. Empowerly was the extra push and support that I needed! My counselors have been very involved and helpful, they really valued a one-on-one bond with me while making sure that I stayed on the right track during the process. My current counselor is super helpful with essay suggestions and making sure my application, as a whole, is thoroughly written. The essay editing service is also super helpful outside of counseling, I use it frequently.

I really love working with Empowerly. I have been able to get so much done and my counselor has helped me incredibly. I am so happy I got this opportunity and my experience has been great. I can't wait to expand on my journey through submitting college applications. This has been extremely useful and helpful. Without Empowerly, I wouldn't have been able to get as much done so I am very thankful. I would definitely encourage anyone to use this program.

I believe that Empowerly is a perfect organization in helping with college admissions. Previously, I didn’t know anything about applying to college, however, my wonderful counselor, Raisa Alam helped me through the whole process of finding internships to involve myself with, writing essays, and more. She helped me get more involved in clubs at my school and provided many resources for essay editing that was very helpful for me.

I had the opportunity to work with two counselors, both of them have provided me with unconditional support and guidance through this journey!
