I am Amit Somani, alumnus of IIT – Patna. One of my friends introduced me to Galvanize and their instructors made a study plan based on the diagnostic test with an emphasis on my weak areas. The question bank mimics exactly the type of question there are on actual GRE . One of the things that I like the most about Galvanize is that instructors are amicable and they cared as much as I cared about my score.By religiously following Galvanize’s GRE one month study plan, I increased my score by 19 points within a month and got 330/340. Thank you Team Galvanize!

I would strongly recommend Galvanize Test Prep for the GRE. I prepared for 2.5 months, averaging 3-4 hrs/day

For the Quant Section – The tests on the online platform of Galvanize have a plethora of questions for each topic with different difficulty levels which would be the perfect preparation for test day.

By practising on the Galvanize platform as well as additionally on Readtheory, the tricks to solve the RC’s can easily be mastered. Galvanize will also personally guide you if you are finding it difficult to understand on your own. I also found that the Galvanize Vocab builder was very helpful when it came to learning GRE words.

That being said how you prepare is very important – Focus on your mistakes and why you made it. That is the most important thing which will increase your marks drastically. Thank you Galvanize!

Galvanize coaching has a pretty decent online program. They cover all the question types in the Verbal section thoroughly and provide with proper tips and techniques. I used to have a notion that the Verbal section is purely based on vocabulary and not much thinking goes into it. They helped me change that notion and made me attack each question in a logical and iterative manner. Their exercises and tests helped me a lot.

Also, they had a decent amount of practice for the AWA section, in which I was least confident. Their exercises and tests made me improve a lot. And their personalized feedback regarding the AWA part in the third mock test was helpful.

The Mock tests were very useful and were fairly accurate in predicting your actual GRE score. In every mock test, AWA was graded which helped me a lot in understanding where I stand.

The Galvanize preparation was sufficient but in the end, it all comes down to how well you understood the concepts you’re learning.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Let's do this together!
