Kate C is a Fantastic Counselor and Empowerly Truly Outstanding!!

My daughter was accepted into premier engineering schools like Caltech, UC Berkeley, and Georgia Tech, thanks to the incredible support from Empowerly and especially Kathie (Kate C). Kathie was an exceptional counselor who genuinely understood my daughter’s abilities, aspirations, and needs, guiding her through the college application process with effective strategies. She offered insightful and practical advice on selecting courses, extracurricular activities, compiling a college list, organizing activities, and planning and structuring essays. Kate C patiently addressed all our questions with thoughtful responses. Her guidance helped my daughter see the bigger picture, gain clarity, and make the right choices throughout high school. I wholeheartedly recommend Kate C to students aiming to pursue STEM majors in college.

I also want to acknowledge the essay editing team—Analise, Mandy, Jane Ju, and others—for their prompt and helpful feedback during the essay process. While Empowerly’s essay dashboard is very useful, it could benefit from a feature that allows students to ask follow-up questions to their essay editors. I’ve already recommended Empowerly to my friends, and they have enrolled. Thank you!!
