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!

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. : )

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. 🙂
They are very happy that I am getting into my dream university and have supported me throughout.

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.

I contacted Galvanize based on their reputation, and the team did not disappoint. They offered all the services I needed under one platform.

Galvanize Test Prep (GRE & TOEFL) helped keep me on track, at a much lower price point than other test prep systems. It helped me identify areas for growth and offered videos focused on those specific topics. The lessons were succinct, and their video explanations of every single question accompanied by their written explanations were interminably helpful. I liked the feature of giving quizzes/assessments after every section so I could decide whether I felt ready to move on or if I wanted to keep reviewing that topic. 

Their customer service was also amazing – they would respond to a question about any problem quickly. I worked full time and was only able to study after work and on weekends. I was exhausted most nights after work before I even sat down to study. Without the structure that Galvanize provides, I would not have been able to be nearly as effective.

Approaching and going through the application process for a master’s degree is a journey. Going through it with Aarthi Rajesh, my admission counselor at Galvanize, made it both enjoyable and a resounding success. Knowing that she was dedicating her experience and skills towards helping me achieve my educational goals really put me at ease. With her help throughout the application process, I was able to earn admission to all my reach colleges.

Galvanize truly is a one-stop solution for all your study abroad needs. I highly recommend the services of Galvanize.

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.

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.

Applying to universities is a risky and expensive process, so I was sure guidance was needed. I enrolled with Galvanize admissions counselling, which turned out to be a great decision.

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!

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!

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.

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!
