Explore our PlansWhy Galvanize Test Prep for Admissions Counselling?
University Shortlisting
Shortlisting universities is the very first step in the application process – one you can spend months on or have an expert guide you through it. Our Admission experts will carefully analyze all aspects of your profile and preference. We then recommend 8-12 universities for up to 2 countries.
These programs will be classified as “Ambitious”, “Practical” and “Safe” based on the likelihood of admission for your profile and credentials.
Statement of Purpose
The Statement of Purpose (‘SOP’) is a 1-1.5 page write-up of your unique academic journey and career aspirations. Our experts will provide you a set of questions and step-by-step guidelines which will help you prepare a first draft.
We will then review your draft and recommend improvements for up to 3 iterations. Some programs may ask for additional essays in response to specific questions. We’ll help you here as well.
Recommendation Letters
Most universities require 3 Letters of Recommendation (‘LORs’) from your professors or supervisors.
Some recommenders may welcome editing for better clarity of language – Galvanize can help here! We’ll coach you, step-by-step to ensure you end up with the perfect Letters of Recommendation.
Resume Review
A resumé is a 1-2 page summary of your academic interests, projects and achievements. We’ll provide you with a template, review resumé drafts and suggest improvements until we’re sure it highlights the best aspects of your background.
Visa Counselling
Few students anticipate how stressful the visa application process can be. Luckily, our visa counselling sessions will help familiarise you with the process while giving you must-have information on all documentation!
Our experts will conduct mock visa interviews to give you a much-needed confidence boost as well as invaluable tips on acing the visa interview!
