The college admissions landscape has become increasingly competitive, with some of the most selective universities now receiving nearly 100,000 applications in a single admissions cycle. As a result, strong grades alone are rarely enough to distinguish an applicant.
Empowered 4 College helps high school students thoughtfully develop their academic and extracurricular profiles, cultivate leadership and initiative, craft compelling essays, and present their experiences in a way that resonates with admissions committees.
We are proud of our Class of 2021–2026 students, who have earned admission to outstanding universities including the University of Michigan, Stanford, Duke, Washington University in St. Louis, Dartmouth, University of Pennsylvania, Yale, Brown, MIT, NYU, USC, UCLA, UVA, Georgetown, Georgia Tech, Notre Dame, and Northeastern, among many others.

"Thank you so much for all of your help with this entire process. You have been absolutely amazing and I am so grateful. You have been an integral part of my college process, and I don't think I could've done it without you! I feel like you truly understood what I was looking for in a college, even when I couldn't articulate my thoughts for myself. I'm sure it wasn't easy helping craft a personal essay about _____, but I'm so thankful that you stuck with my crazy ideas."
Former Client, University of Florida, Class of 2028
"I am really excited to matriculate in the fall and am really thankful for your guidance throughout the application process. Your advice on essays and the application itself truly helped me provide a complete picture of myself to the universities I applied to.Â
Thank you again for your help!"
Former Client, Georgetown University, Class of 2025
"Before I reached out to Ashleigh, I was very stressed about the essay writing process. Being first-gen, I didn’t know how to start or construct a good application. Ashleigh recommended I change one of my essay topics completely. She helped me better understand what the admissions counselors wanted me to communicate in my essays. She helped me make my essays more coherent and genuine."
Former Client, Transfer Student, University of Michigan, Ross School of Business, Class of 2024
