Absolutely Delighted with Empowerly**

Our journey with Empowerly was even better than we anticipated. Our high school senior daughter tends to be quite independent and often pushes back against her mother’s suggestions. Nonetheless, she was determined to attend a leading university. She met with two counselors, both exceptional in their own right, but ultimately felt a stronger rapport with Xander and decided to work with him.

Xander struck the perfect balance between patience and empathy, while also ensuring she stayed on track with her essay revisions. Through his guidance, she discovered Boston University and developed a passion for International Relations, a program they are ranked 17th nationally. She opted to apply via Early Decision and was accepted, becoming the most enthusiastic senior in her class! Although she had a commendable GPA and ACT scores, many others with higher scores didn’t get in. We truly believe her standout essay, thanks to Xander’s support, was the key factor.

With over 80,000 applications and a freshman class of 3,100 at BU, it’s clear she wouldn’t have gained admission without Xander and the support from Empowerly. It was a worthwhile investment, especially seeing her thrilled acceptance from her dream school. Additionally, it relieved a lot of pressure off me. When I suggested something, she was hesitant, but if Xander recommended it, she was all in. His motivational and positive approach was just what she needed.
