'If I were asked to go through the admissions process again, I would still choose Galvanize!'

Rituja Paridhi

Take a look at what students (like you!) are saying about Galvanize!

Nikitha Agnew, Banglore

My name is Nikitha Agnew and I am from Bangalore. I did my graduation from MVIT in ECE branch. I have received admits from SUNY buffalo, UIC, Stevens, NJIT, UTD, NORTHEASTERN University and I choose to do my masters in management information systems from SUNY buffalo.

Initially while I was searching for test prep services on google I came across Galvanize Global Education. Then I checked on quora and saw many positive reviews from students ,because of which I enrolled with Galvanize for my GRE TOEFL and Admissions Process and i must say that they have a very well structured plan.

I am really happy with the university selecting process as my counselor gave me a great list of universities and was always there for me when I needed her. She was also very understanding and helpful. Even with the SOP part was good. The editor was very supportive and understanding of my needs.

Later we started with the VISA process. My counselor explained the process and gave me all the useful links. She was quick to assist me whenever I faced any issue. It was a wonderful experience.

I would suggest aspirants to not waste time, be focused and get help whenever you’re stuck and don’t hesitate. I would definitely recommend and tell them to go ahead with it and not think twice.

My name is Deepika Gullapalli. I graduated from BVRIT Hyderabad College of Engineering for Women. I wanted to pursue my higher education abroad. So I was looking for some assistance. I came across Galvanize through their Vocabulary app. Soon I received a call from their counselor who explained to me the whole process. My journey with Galvanize has been really good. Especially my councilor arathi was really helpful. We did the University Shortlisting by discussing a lot of factors. I must say that the team is very cooperative and quick as they helped me with drafting my sop, resume and lors. I would like to thank the team for guiding me throughout the process. Very happy to share that I received admits from California State University – East Bay, San Diego State University, San Francisco State University, University of California – Riverside, Arizona State University. And I will be going to San Diego State University

 and will be doing my Management Information Systems

Initially when I was looking for assistance for my GRE prep I got a call from one of the counselors from Galvanize. After understanding the whole course and how it will help me I chose Galvanize for my test prep as well as admissions journey. Also, everything was online and made it easier for me to work on my applications while sitting at home. Right from the university shortlisting to the Visa and US cards. So we started with shortlisting universities which went quite smoothly, The counselor assigned to me shortlisted universities for me as per my requirements.
Talking about SOP, This was so helpful for a person like me. I was doing a job and handling these documents on my own would have been quite tiring. But thanks to galvanize, with my given inputs they framed a nice SOP for me. For my LOR I had given three google forms and after filling those simple forms the galvanize team started drafting my LOR. The framing of all my inputs in a nice essay was done by galvanize. For sure this task was not my cup of tea!
My Counselor Aarthi Rajesh was so helpful. She was so patient with me all the time. Always helped me with my queries. She always scheduled the google meets with me, to help me with the overall application process. I had already recommended Galvanize to two of my friends. One of them is still in the process and the other girl got her visa and is admitted to a desired university. I told them about the online service galvanize offered, the iterative approach to the documents. Also I had told them about exam preparation help provided by galvanize. I am so satisfied with the services galvanize provided. Made this journey a lot easier than I thought. 

Kokapranitha Harani | Galvanize Student Testimonial

Hello this is Pranitha from Hyderabad. I graduated from MVSR College in ECE. Now I will be doing my masters in Computer engineering from SJSU. I have received admission forms sjsu, asu, gmu, uh.

I initially came to know about Galvanize through their Youtube channel. And then after I checked their reviews which were impressive I enrolled with them for my admissions process. The shortlisting of universities was little tough because I had all expensive universities in my mind later with the help of counselor i applied to universities with Practical , ambitious and safe format. Post which the SOP and LOR process was great as it was quick ,simple and as per my feedback and conversation with the editor. I must say that the counselor is good as she guided me throughout the process and helped me whenever there was a rough patch.

The best part of my journey was the VISA as my counselor helped me a lot. Overall  the experience was Helpful and friendly and I would truly recommend Galvanize for your admissions process.

The support from the Galvanize Admission Counselors was amazing. They are well organised and they always kept track of my progress and told me the tasks to be done.

I had their  support in everything and they were very informative and resolved all my queries.

The inputs for LOR’s were easy to give because I had to just fill in  the document that they provided,which had all the necessary questions that had to be filled in ,through which they generate a LOR.I liked the idea because it makes one’s task easier and it is less time consuming.I was happy with the way the editors worked on it. I was handed over the final, precise LOR. 

Coming to Resumé, the editors are very much aware about the format ,and I just had to give the inputs and my Resume was shaped accordingly.

 Unlike other consultancies, Galvanize work on your SOP,LOR’S personally,which is great. Though it is an online consultancy, you’ll never feel that you are off the track or lost because the team is always there to eye on your progress.I would definitely recommend Galvanize over other consultancies .

My admission counselor in particular was brilliant. He did more for me than I or anyone could imagine and was always 24 hours round the clock available for any query I had.

My visa assistance process was outstanding. I already knew all the questions they could ask me and the answers to it. My paperwork was also on point, thanks to my counselor.

Received Admits from : NEU, MS PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Galvanize has been a super experience for me. I don’t think I could have asked for anything else or anything better in terms of the quality of SOPs, resumes and LORs they made for me. They were available at all points in time to help me. As soon as I used to send my input, I received their comments and feedback within a few hours which made the process very smooth and time-saving as well! I must say, they are truly professionals!

How was the VISA assistance process?

I would like to highlight my admissions consultant Raghuvir sir here. I think I am extremely lucky that I got the opportunity to work with him and be his student. I still remember and would never forget this anecdote: the day before my visa interview, I was getting a little nervous and jittery and Raghuvir sir went out of his way to make me feel comfortable and confident with my answers. My case was a little tricky as it was my second masters, etc and I was expecting many tricky questions to be coming my way and Raghuvir sir literally prepared me for every tricky question possible. And the next day, my visa interview was a cake walk as I was prepared for every situation possible. I don’t think I would have been able to crack my VISA interview without Raghuvir sir’s help. Tons of thanks to the incredible Galvanize team for helping us achieve our dreams

My admission counselor was Raghuvir sir and he was really supportive from the very beginning. He was probably one of my best mentors and we used to talk for 1-1.5 hrs straight, not just about the admissions and academics, but also about some other interesting things. 

On the whole How was your experience with Galvanize admission counseling service?

I have been recommending Galvanize to all of my friends who’re interested in a master’s degree abroad. I really liked the experience and it felt like a cake walk all  because of my admission counselor.

I found from the reviews that students had a wide variety of options to choose their admits from. Unlike regular agencies that have tie-ups with only certain universities and no room for much choice, I found that Galvanize allows us to choose from a wide variety of options depending on our financial ability and academic merit. So, I felt that if I chose Galvanize, I could get an admit at a university with excellent rankings and teaching facilities.

The academic staff and those on the whatsapp group were very helpful as they pushed me to put more effort into the exam.

In my opinion, my interactions with my counselor Mr. Raghu was the highlight of my higher studies preparation. Mr. Raghu was and continues to be extremely helpful, polite and professional in his interactions with me. He was really very patient and understanding regarding the slightest of my doubts especially during university shortlisting and VISA preparation. Mr.Raghu is someone who I could rely upon to tackle the toughest of situations during the master’s application process.

The overall experience I had with galvanize was extremely professional and enriching

Utsav Patel, India

Testimonial 1

My overall experience with Galvanize was great. They provided me with insight and support in all aspects of my applications, which included profile evaluation, university selection, drafting SOPs for 6 different universities, arranging finances, and conducting the valuable mock VISA interview. It certainly catalyzed my study abroad journey! 

The support system was very good. We were added to a WhatsApp group, where we could pose our doubts and questions. If there were a lot of questions to be asked, I would contact the counselors directly, and get them resolved. 

I do not have any cons to share. My preparation for the GRE and TOEFL was really good, and I achieved the scores I aimed for. 

Aadarsh Kumar, India

AAdharsh admission counselling testimonial

My Name is Aadarsh. I completed my Undergraduate Degree in Computer Science in 2019  from Raja Ram University in Maharashtra.

When my VISA got rejected for the first time, I felt like I could do better with some professional help. I googled a bunch of consultancy services, and subsequently received an email from Galvanize Test Prep. 

I enrolled for their Admissions Counselling Services, and was assigned a counsellor whose name was Raghu. Raghu helped me organise my existing documents in a much more effective way. He was extremely supportive throughout the entire process, right from embellishing my documents to conducting my VISA mock interviews. I felt like he was with me through every step of the way, and that was the best thing I liked about Galvanize’s Counselling.

Raghu even shared his real experiences with me, and provided me with constant support and feedback on a timely basis. His experiences definitely motivated me a lot!

I chose Galvanize because of their budget-friendly prices, and I do not regret my decision. Their customized plan for me was exactly what I needed. 

Given the fact that I did not get my VISA the first time around, I will say this – Please take your VISA Interview very seriously. It isn’t going to be a walk in the park without adequate preparation and rest. Enroll yourself for Counselling Services if need be, as it will help smoothen the entire process and provide you with a lot more confidence. Also, don’t restrict yourself to just one university. Keep a few backups, and apply diligently. 

Finally, I would like to thank Galvanize for their wonderful support and guidance. I couldn’t have done it without them!

Madhurima Chatterjee, India

Madumita Chaterjee

Admit from : Northeastern University
Graduation :  Amrita University

Hello this is Madhurima Chatterjee, Since I used to work full-time, I barely had time to prepare for my GRE exams, let alone do my research on universities I would like to apply to.
I was left with about 3 months before my GRE exam and had not been studying quite seriously until then. It was when I was looking for mobile apps to help me with my quants and verbal that I stumbled upon the free Galvanize App. Soon after registering myself on that app, I received a call from someone at Galvanize asking me about my future plans and so on. Upon a good long discussion with them, I decided to move ahead with the Galvanize test prep service.

There was a very long and detailed questionnaire provided to us on Google Forms which took into consideration almost everything that should matter when considering universities. I remember taking 40-45 mins to finally finish it. The process was quite long, however I did not let my laziness get the best of me and answered each question with due diligence. 

After about 7-10 days, I received an update from the Team and was quite satisfied with my university list as it had most of the universities that I actually wanted to apply for.

The efforts that the writing team had put into each of my applications to handcraft them differently according to the university and its specialization was not something I would have had the skills or the motivation to do on my own. Due to their vast experience and insight from working with previous applicants, they have a very clear idea of what the universities are looking out for in particular.

The counselling team was very patient in dealing with my queries and had adequate knowledge on the required domains to provide me with support and advice. 

I had a great experience in working with the entire team and I am glad that I went ahead with Galvanize for my admissions process. It was one of the smartest and most economic decisions I ever made!

The GRE test prep provided was very useful, the UI for the same is super intuitive and the periodic mock tests really keep you on your toes. The intensity of the mocks is at par with the GRE exam level.

 Have trust in the process. Provide your information to Galvanise, be open and honest. Definitely  practice a lot. : )

Trishala, India

College: CMR Institute of Technology 
Admits from UC Berkeley, Georgia Tech, NYU, Northwestern University, Drexel University, University of Maryland Global Campus

I was not aware of the process of applying to a university abroad. Since I was working, it was taking up too much of my time to search for and shortlist universities. I had spent a month and shortlisted only 2 universities before I enrolled with Galvanize.

Overall it was not the best of lists but I had a call with Aarthi where I explained my major and also that I wanted to pursue the MS program online. Then, I received a list of 12 universities which had a mix of different majors- Computer Science, CyberSecurity, Cyber Technology. All these courses were in-person rather than online programs. Then I spoke to Aarthi again and she prepared a new list of around 8 universities with online programs but it didn’t have any of the universities I had personally shortlisted so I asked Aarthi to add UC Berkeley and Georgia Tech to the list as well. After that I did my research and shortlisted my choice of 6 universities.

I liked the overall process of drafting my SOP. The questions asked demanded complete details of college and work. Even after finalizing my SOP it went through another round. Then the SOP was fine tuned and looked excellent after that. 

There was a lot of support provided when I had any questions. If Aarthi didn’t know something, she would find out and tell me, which was helpful. Overall, I would say it could have been better but this was good enough. 

I liked it a lot. I was totally new to studying abroad and the details involved in the process. I asked my friends who are studying there but nobody was able to give me answers to all the questions I had, but Galvanize did. I didn’t know how an SOP should be and they helped me prepare an amazing SOP describing myself. They also helped me make my resume, including everything about myself in 3 pages in a very professional way.

Overall Experience was good. GRE and TOEFL preparation was great. Quants tests and questions were very helpful. I had already prepared one round of Quant before enrolling into Galvanize. Galvanize provided me with the edge needed for the exam which helped me get a 160. 

In the mock tests, AWA is also there but it is never reviewed by anyone. Even the Verbal topic wise tests are never reviewed. The Resume and SOP process was the best part of the whole process. The University shortlisting was not up to my expectations. I requested to check into universities from US and Canada in the google form sent but the admission counsellor insisted on selecting one country. My major was selected, mode of study was selected and plus I also had work experience. I figured it would be really easy for her to shortlist some top universities for me. A lot of time was wasted on that which could have been saved. 

Anyways, my end outcome was really good since I got into all the 6 universities I applied to. I got rejected for cybersecurity for 1 university but was offered MS Computer Science instead. 

I am happy that my resume and SOP were prepared in a way that helped me get admits into all universities I chose.

I would say that instead of concentrating 50-50 on both Quant and Verbal, pick one which you are better at and make sure you are prepared to get 170. Then even if you get 150+ or 155+ in the other, the overall combined score will be 320+ and is really good to get you into your choice of colleges. For shortlisting do your own research as well, do not rely completely on the shortlisting process as your resume might have something greater which might help you get into a better college. 

Galvanize will help you curate the perfect resume and SOP which will describe you in the best way possible.

Admit from  SUNY Buffalo, New York

My Name is Neelmani Garg. I plan to pursue my masters in Industrial Engineering and I have also received an admit from SUNY Buffalo University at New York. I am sharing my experience with Galvanize Test prep, which was instrumental in helping me procure the aforementioned admit.

I got to know about Galvanize from a friend. Later, I spoke to one of the counselors at Galvanize Test prep and enrolled for their admissions service.

The shortlisting process went well. My counselor’s name was Padma and she was quite genuine. After carefully considering my major and budget, she shortlisted prospective  universities for me.

I filled out the forms for the SOP and LOR and got the drafts. It took a lot of time to receive those drafts, but they were extremely helpful. The kind of support that I received from the Admissions counsellors was excellent. 

I also took the GRE preparation platform. The math portion in Galvanise’s platform is quite good.

One tip I would like to give to the aspirants is that it requires a lot of practice before attempting to take the GRE. So, one must practice thoroughly and review their mistakes as well. 

My parents feel great about my journey. They understand that it will help in my career growth immensely.

I chose Galvanize for GRE, TOEFL preparation and for the Admission Counselling. Initially, I was checking for better GRE prep courses. I tried Magoosh and Princeton GRE prep courses, but couldn’t score well in the 1st attempt of GRE. While checking out some GRE vocabulary courses, I found Galvanize. The prep course is affordable and the video explanations and the practice questions were very near to the exam level. The feedback for the AWA helped me score a 5 out of 6. Both  the GRE and TOEFL courses were very helpful and enabled me to score good marks. I chose Galvanize for Admissions Counselling as well, where they helped me prepare SOPs, LORs, my resume, and shortlisted my prospective Universities. They also helped me prepare for the US Visa interview.

I had given my academic details and GRE/TOEFL scores to Galvanize. They provided me with a list of 12 universities ranging from dream universities to safe ones. I had given my curated list as well and they reviewed the same and provided me with feedback as to whether my list of universities was feasible based on my academic details. This helped me refine my list and apply for universities. I applied to 10 universities, and ended up getting admits from 8 universities! 

I was provided with a questionnaire and I gave my answers with a lot of elaboration. They provided me with an initial draft based on my answers. Then, I gave my inputs and suggested some changes. They reviewed my changes and helped me in framing statements which would be more formal and well-structured. I didn’t have much time to apply, but they have helped me finish up my SOPs and LORs very quickly, which was immensely helpful.

Counselors responded to my questions everytime and gave me insightful guidelines during the application process. They reviewed my applications before I submitted them. Also, they helped me out with the VISA process. (Thanks to Raghu sir!) He helped me overcome my fear of facing the interview and gave so many tips which enabled me to answer the questions clearly and briefly. We did a good number of mock sessions which also helped me to lose my fear. All the guidance and suggestions provided by Galvanise  helped me to get the VISA.

I was given proper guidance and this helped me complete the process before the VISA interview. They helped me in every situation and clarified my doubts at any point of time. My experience with Galvanise has been really great!

Galvanize is the one-stop solution for GRE, TOEFL and Admission counselling, and they are better than many of the institutes. They provide very good GRE and TOEFL prep courses and the practice tests are very good. The feedback after the tests helped me to understand my weak points as well, which was crucial. 

 

I would suggest everyone to choose Galvanize if you are planning for masters. 🙂

I am very happy about my journey with Galvanize. I enjoyed my GRE preparation with Galvanise’s applications, modules and tasks which were customized according to my target. The Galvanize support is awesome too. The course fee is also reasonable and convenient to opt for such online courses. I came to know about Galvanize through the Mobile app referred by a friend of mine. And then a person from Galvanise contacted me.

Galvanize really helped me in the shortlisting and also included my preferences for the same. The iteration process was very professional. I was particularly impressed with the preparation involved in the SOP Process. The support was very good from counsellors . I received regular and prompt responses. On whole  it was a very good experience on my part. The GRE preparation module was particularly well designed and one could practice the problems and sums very well according to the module at home. It was as good as face-to-face coaching! Please try to complete the given tasks in the module on time to get the maximum benefit from your preparation. Galvanize syllabus is prepared very well and customized according to one’s unique needs and targets.

I had opted for GRE coaching services with Galvanize first and then opted for their admission counselling services as well. My experience at Galvanize with respect to GRE was wonderful

The prep resources helped me quite a lot, especially for the verbal component of the examination. The essays and the questions were quite tough and this helped me prepare very well. The analytical writing material and questions were quite informative and useful as well. 

The material and questions for Quants were challenging, instructive and thorough as well. I actually enjoyed answering the Quants questions, since I really like Math!I’d also downloaded the Galvanize vocabulary app to improve my vocabulary, the latter of which is very important while attending the Verbal section of GRE. I had five mock tests available, and I received personalized feedback for all of them, which was really helpful. I really enjoyed my experience with Galvanize, with respect to GRE prep, in terms of the user interface, feedback, resources, material and so on. Everything was well thought-out and smooth.

Hi, this is  Rahil Shajahan from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras. I did my graduation in Engineering Physics. I am glad to share that I got admit from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology majoring in  Optics and Photonics.

I needed help writing and structuring my SOP. I also couldn’t narrow down the universities I wanted to apply to, with which Galvanize was a great help

The university shortlisting process went on smoothly. Since I got admitted to all the universities I applied to. The first iteration itself was amazing. The questions asked were pitch-perfect. I would say the SOP creation was the highlight of my Galvanize experience. Mrs. Divya admissions head at Galvanize Test Prep was of great help to me. She was straightforward with the questions I asked and I wasn’t left confused with bogus answers. The experience, on the whole, was good.

Dream big. Don’t be scared to apply to higher-ranked universities.

I enrolled with Galvanize for my GRE and TOEFL prep. I was very happy with their service. Therefore, I decided to enroll for Admissions Counselling too.

Throughout the process, the Galvanize team was was very supportive and polite. In fact my favourite things about Galvanize were that it was very convenient, having the entire process online and of course, working with their experienced professionals.

My advice to everyone considering studying abroad is to trust the system and follow the timeline!

Though the drafting of SOP was a tedious process, they had been very patient and helpful. They showed the same dedication and patience throughout the process.
With the help of the Galvanize AC team, I could finish the application process much before the deadlines. They constantly reminded me of the upcoming application deadlines.

I am very thankful to Galvanize for helping me in getting an admits from reputed universities like the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, New York University, Northeastern University and the University of Houston.

I chose Galvanize Test Prep for Admissions Counseling because I had already enrolled in the GRE preparation course before and the Admissions Counselling seemed like it could help me enter in the Universities I wanted.

I already knew three Universities I wanted to apply to so it was the documentation process that was most helpful to me. In terms of Personal Statements, I think the counselor really helped me. I would have been very lost writing one of those letters completely on my own. Especially since I am very busy working on my final year dissertation.

Galvanize was a bit expensive but really helpful overall! 

My advice to everyone considering studying abroad is to focus on your GRE test score and the other important thing is to have as much extracurricular experience as possible.

The application process to foreign universities is daunting in terms of the quantity of documents required. Galvanize admission counselling helped streamline the entire process.
The team clearly laid down the plan for the months leading up to my university deadlines.
The universities were shortlisted based on several factors including an initial review conducted at the beginning of the counselling process. The list was extensive and well researched which helped me filter out universities based on my interests.
The drafting process for my SOP and LOR was exhausting and extremely time consuming. The admissions counselor at Galvanize helped me at every step with fast and reliable reviews on my SOP and diversity essays.
They also kept me motivated all this time with weekly reminders.
Ultimately, I would definitely say Galvanize AC helped me in achieving an exciting admit. Galvanize AC was definitely a crucial piece of my journey in applying for a Master’s abroad.

I required some assistance in framing my resume, SOP etc, given the semester workload I had. My experience with Galvanize was beyond expectations, they helped with numerous iterations of my Resume. Moreover they helped me tailor my SOP with the requirements of each university.
The best thing about Galvanize is they are very approachable. There were times when I forwarded my SOP the previous night and they proofread it within 24 hours.

The Galvanize team helped me choose universities that fit my profile – with my dream schools and safe schools included to guarantee admits. Drafting an SOP is always tedious. Galvanize guided me through the making of my Statement of Purpose pointing out mistakes and indicating areas of improvement to make my SOP winning.
I thank Galvanize for the incessant support and guidance that was offered me throughout the process. Galvanize has helped me immensely. What better than getting an admit from an Ivy-League university for a program its known for?

University selection based on your profile is a tedious task and requires proper guidance. I also wanted someone I could rely on for SOP and LOR reviews. That is why I enrolled with Galvanize.
I’m glad I did because Galvanize made the admission process easier, providing me with all the required resources.

Though many resources are available over the internet, being a working professional, I did not have enough time to search for the resources myself and then work on the process. I felt very at ease knowing that I could rely on Galvanize to address my queries and help me out with the admission process.

What impressed me most about Galvanize were the timely response for each and and every query during the admissions process. I would say to anybody who is busy and has no proper idea about the admissions process to definitely enroll with Galvanize Admissions.

Before Galvanize, I was confused about which universities would be best for me to apply to.  Galvanize evaluated my profile, enquired about all other factors like my preferred location, cost, and courses before giving me a final list of universities, which were suitable to my needs. My biggest fear was the SOP but Galvanize helped me personalize SOP’s for all of the universities I applied to.

What I liked most about Galvanize was the timely schedule for all the tasks in the application process. I will surely recommend Galvanize to my friends for its excellent team editing team, university selection and ensuring that the entire process moved in a timely manner. Thank you Galvanize for providing the best counselling!

Writing your Statement Of Purpose and getting Letter’s Of Recommendation is a tedious task and I needed help with it. I chose Galvanize on the recommendation of my friends. The universities which were shortlisted for me were very well thought of based on my overall academic profile. They were categorised under Ambitious, Practical and Safe based on the chances of my getting admitted into them. The documentation process was very easy to follow and Galvanize was always ready to help whenever I needed it. In order to secure admissions, your SOP, Resume and LOR’s need to be impactful and up to the point. Galvanize editors help with all of them and it’s really helpful.

The Galvanize Admission Counsellors were very professional and helpful. The webinars and live Video Conferences from counsellors gave me all the basic information I needed. They make sure they answer all your queries! Counsellors are very professional and helpful. The website UI is also well designed. College websites links, application deadlines are all mentioned on the front page which make things easier to follow and navigate through.

I’m really happy that I chose to enroll for the Admission Counselling. I managed to secure admits from multiple universities from the US!

At first, I thought I didn’t need any help applying to universities, because I was confident that this was something I could do by myself. However, once I understood the huge amount of competition out there, the gravity of the situation sunk in. I turned to Galvanize for help with my application process and it was the best decision I’ve ever made! My Admission Counsellor at Galvanize was extremely knowledgeable and dispelled all my concerns.
Right from my shortlisting universities to crafting my Resume and my Statement of Purpose, and discussing with my profs for my Letters of Recommendation, I was given a lot of support. The Galvanize Team also responded quickly to all my questions and made the entire apping experience a stress-free one! Thanks to Galvanize, I got accepted at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor – my dream school! Thank you, guys, you’re awesome 😀

One of the nice things about Galvanize is that their price is so affordable! Moreover, the GRE faculty teach the video lessons with such simplicity that even a novice like me could understand the concepts. I liked the GRE program at Galvanize, which is why I enrolled with Galvanize for Admission Counseling. As per my request, my Admission Counsellors shortlisted 6 universities based on my scores. They explained the procedure via a Google Hangouts call. I must say that the best thing is that Galvanize helps us help ourselves. I wrote all my SOPs, essays, etc and the Galvanize team reviewed it and gave their valuable suggestions. They helped me fine-tune my essays. The team also reviewed my application forms! I am still in the process of submitting my applications, and help from Galvanize is always extended. I have received admits from 2 reputed universities (Stevens Institute of Technology, New Jersey, and Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago) – thank you, Galvanize!

This is Rithika from Bengaluru. I graduated from Acharya Institute of Technology in Information Science and Engineering(ISE). I wanted to pursue my masters abroad. While looking for assistance I came across Galvanize through one of my friend. My journey with Galvanize was good. I would recommend Galvanize to all those who are looking for assistance because the SOP Process was really amazing as the team helped me accordingly at the right time. Also my counselor helped me for my VISA process.

My name is Naga Prasath and I Graduated from from NIT Calicut. I received admits from UT Dallas, Illinois Tech, University of Cincinnati, Florida State University. But I choose Illinois Tech for my MS in Information Technology and Management

Shortlisting the Universities is no doubt a difficult step and it required a lot of discussions and opinions. However once I was done with selecting universities ,I moved to the next step that was drafting my SOP’s. This was again a big task as I also needed University specific SOP. Thanks to the team for making it a smooth process by guiding at each step. With respect to LOR’s, the  documents were reviewed multiple times before they were finalized. 

It is a very helpful service for students with limited knowledge on the Admission process. The support was great and I got my queries answered. Not to forget I also got assistance for my VISA where I was provided with a mock interview by my counselor.

THE BEST! Correction: admission counselor, not admission counselors. My admissions counsellor, Ragu, has been helping me out for almost a year as I originally planned for Fall 2021 intake but later changed to Spring 2022. He was there to clarify my doubts and address all my queries. Didn’t matter if it was a week-off or any festival, Ragu would make sure my queries were addressed properly. He was more like a big brother than some typical admissions counsellor. I’ve worked with 5-6 admissions counselors (outside Galvanize) for the past year and I can confidently say that Ragu is more competent, more understanding and friendly than any of them. He is a gem.

I would say this is the most wonderful part in the whole process. They have given me the very best in very little time, and I am so thankful to all the editors who worked on my SOPs and LORs.

Overall, This is an excellent place to start your journey of pursuing masters. However, one must not rely completely on the service but also do some self research for best results.

The Admissions Counselling offered by Galvanize was trouble-free and streamlined. The team was very polite and supportive through the process providing all the relevant resources to complete admission process.

Typically, SOP and LOR drafting can be tedious but with expert advise and resources it can be pretty easy and simple. Galvanize’s service does exactly that.

Overall a very nice experience, experienced professionals from Galvanize helped me get admitted to ASU.

The Admissions Counselling offered by Galvanize is awesome. Right from my GRE preparation to the shortlisting of universities to drafting my Statement of Purpose (SoP) and Letters of Recommendation (LoR), Galvanize helped me a lot.

The universities shortlisted for me were perfect. The shortlist was prepared based on my profile and they sorted the universities into 3 categories: ambitious, practical and safe which made it easier for me to decide what to apply to and what not to.

In order to secure admissions, your SoP, Resume and LoR’s need to be impact-ful and up to the mark. Galvanize made drafting an SoP and the LORs an easy process. The final draft of my SoP and LoR’s gave me a satisfactory feeling and I think, helped me secure admits

The entire Galvanize AC team was very helpful during each phase of the application process. I was assigned to Raguvir Krishna (Service Manager) and he was very patient, dedicated and provided me with valuable insights during the time. 

I can honestly say Galvanize has been really good to me!

The support Galvanize’s admissions counselling provided me was comprehensive. They explained to me what it would take for me to get admits to the universities I desired. The university shortlist was drafted on the basis of my overall profile- scores, academic profile, resume, even potential recommenders!- and my inputs as well. The highlight of the counselling process was the help they provided me with my SOP. Writing a strong SOP is absolutely essential if you’re looking to get an admit to a good university. The help they gave me with constructing exactly the kind of SOP I was looking for went a long way towards getting me my admit, I’m sure.

My admissions counsellor was crucial to the entire process- she briefed me on everything I needed to know about the application process. If I had to summarize my entire experience with Galvanize Test Prep, I would say it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life.

I strongly recommend Galvanize admissions counselling!  It exceeded my expectations- especially when it came to my SoP & LORs. The university shortlisting process went very smoothly. The entire process, I would say was very interactive- That was what I liked most about my experience.

That, and the level of personalization and care they provide at each stage of the application process. Given that I received admits to several of my target universities, I have to say, enrolling with Galvanize was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

I received admits from five universities and have decided upon University of Southern California. I also received a 15% scholarship from Case Western Reserve University. Galvanize played a pivotal role in the process right from the beginning where I was taught by highly qualified teachers who had been abroad and thus had a greater impact because they had also experienced the same process.

Coming to the counselling services, the application journey was a smooth one under the guidance of the Galvanize team- especially Ms. Biruda. They scheduled timely telephonic conversations and told me about the actual process and how I would have to give my very best. The university shortlisting was done in a seamless manner wherein the colleges I wanted to apply to were taken into consideration and assessed. Furthermore, additional recommendations were made by Biruda and the team. The universities shortlisted were perfect for me.

The counselling team helped me draft a well thought SOP and ensured my final SOP had exactly the sort of information the universities were looking for. One important highlight of this whole process was that I received a timetable which mentioned the deadlines by which I needed the SOPs and LORs drafted. This helped me keep a timely check and also kept me on track so I wouldn’t miss my deadlines. Galvanize indeed helped me get an admit from my dream university and I would like to thank the whole team for making it possible!

I enrolled with Galvanize for my GRE prep. That turned out to be a really pleasant experience so I decided to enlist their admissions counselling services as well. University shortlisting was made so much easier with Galvanize’s help. The first thing they did was understand my preferences, ask for my inputs and then they scrutinized my profile to determine which universities would be good options for me.

With regards to my SOP, they took the time to understand what I was trying to convey through my SOP and they provided me with extremely valuable feedback. This feedback was really helpful to me and if it weren’t for my personal course managers and my admissions counsellor, I doubt my SOP would’ve turned out the way it did ultimately. My admissions counsellor broke down all of the intricate details relating to the admissions process- they motivated me when I most needed it. I would definitely recommend Galvanize’s Admissions Counselling service to anybody looking for a hassle-free experience!

Galvanize Test Prep did play a vital role throughout the application process for my Master’s.  The admission counselling team jotted down the best universities according to my area of interest and profile. Right from the shortlisting of universities, to the submission of University applications and the preparation of SOP’s, LORs & Resume – they helped me at every step and replied to my every query ( however silly it might have seemed! ). I sent in my application to 5 universities and got admitted into 4 of them with two of them even providing me with scholarships! So, they did indeed choose the best ones for me.

About SOP’s, LOR, I didn’t really know how to go about writing these essays. That’s where the counselling team made it easy. The team helped me give my essays the required edge and polish. The Galvanize Team, totally, helped me get an admit to my target University – Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago. And to get a scholarship, was the cherry on top. I wouldn’t go anywhere else but here if I had to do this all over again. Thank you to the whole team of Galvanize Admission Counselling.

I enrolled with Galvanize for my GRE and TOEFL prep. I was very happy with their service. Therefore, I decided to enroll for Admissions Counselling too.

Throughout the process, the Galvanize team was was very supportive and polite. In fact my favourite things about Galvanize were that it was very convenient, having the entire process online and of course, working with their experienced professionals.

My advice to everyone considering studying abroad is to trust the system and follow the timeline!

University selection based on your profile is a tedious task and requires proper guidance. I also wanted someone I could rely on for SOP and LOR reviews. That is why I enrolled with Galvanize.
I’m glad I did because Galvanize made the admission process easier, providing me with all the required resources.

Though many resources are available over the internet, being a working professional, I did not have enough time to search for the resources myself and then work on the process. I felt very at ease knowing that I could rely on Galvanize to address my queries and help me out with the admission process.

What impressed me most about Galvanize were the timely response for each and and every query during the admissions process. I would say to anybody who is busy and has no proper idea about the admissions process to definitely enroll with Galvanize Admissions.

I was not confident in my ability to draft all the documents like SoP and LORs well enough to receive admits from universities. I believed in Galvanize’s material and guidance and so I enrolled with their admission counselling services.

When it came to shortlisting universities – The team tried to understand all the factors that mattered to me while shortlisting and did provide me a list of 12 universities (apart from 6 universities of my choice). Even after, they helped me further shorten this list to 6 universities which would’ve consumed a huge amount of time if I had to do it for myself.

The support provided by the team with my SoP and LORs was the best of the entire admission counseling experience. The responses were really very quick and even my doubts were resolved within hours. The quality of suggestions provided by the team after every iteration of my SOP, LOR drafts were really helpful.

I am completely satisfied with my decision to enrol with Galvanize for both my GRE prep as well as my admission counselling and would gladly recommend it to anybody looking for assistance!

I was not too confident of my chances of getting an admit in Computer Science. That’s when I decided to take the help of Galvanize’s Admissions Counseling. It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. They helped me shortlist universities, helped me streamline my SOP and other essays. They saw my SOP through multiple iterations, helping me play my strong suit in each of those essays.  One of the things I liked most were the quick replies. Having a personal advisor really paid off!  Finally, I got multiple admits including one from my dream university!
It goes without saying that Galvanize played an important role in getting me into the university I most desired.

Hi, my name is Sarvesh Prabhakar and I am currently in the final year of my undergraduation ( B.Tech) in mechanical engineering from SRM Institute of Science and Technology.I wanted to do my Masters in Aerospace Engineering because it has always an area of interest for me, ever since my childhood.After I was done with my GRE, I began to think about the application process. I had heard some very positive feedback from several of my friends about Galvanize’s admission process. So I signed up for the admission counseling. The thing that sets apart Galvanize from others is the systematic step by step approach to each stage of the admission process with a huge amount of individual focus given to every student.The shortlisting of universities, in my opinion, is the most important thing in this whole process and it was very carefully done, on my behalf, based on my profile.Yes, its true that a very appealing & strong intent of interest is to be displayed in your SOP/LOR which is the key criteria in bagging the admission from the reputed university. This is where Galvanize was a life saver for me, they ensured my SOP was a reflection of my thoughts & Skills and they in fact made 3 iterations of my SOP. So when I saw my final SOP it was so convincing for me that I submitted that with 100% confidence.A BIG YES, very much I got admit from University which I intended. This is where Galvanize stands a notch above anyone , they made me go inside the university which I intended, they didn’t push me into some affiliate university.
