I came to know about Galvanize through our College Seminar. Online Courses and personalized services attracted me to enroll with Galvanize. A representative from Galvanize had come to my University during my 2nd/3rd year, and I attended their seminar about GRE and MS Admissions. I was particularly impressed with their online platform and resources for GRE Prep. Since my week was filled with classes and college-related work, I preferred preparing for the GRE online and the fact that I could set my deadlines and follow a reasonable timetable.
It started with filling out an extensive Google form from Galvanize that was pretty tough. Based on my responses and my choices of countries, I got a nice list of shortlisted Universities focusing on Biotechnology. These Universities were divided into ambitious, practical, and safe. I was also provided with each University's research area, finances, admission requirements, and so on, which was quite thorough. I had to pick 6 Universities to apply and I picked four Universities in the US and two in the Netherlands.
The Google form that I filled out for shortlisting Universities helped me gather my thoughts regarding writing a statement of process. Based on the answers that I'd written for the form, I wrote a rough draft of my SOP then it was edited by Galvanize editors around three or four times, and I found those edits improved my SOP by a lot and made it more formal, yet individualized. The basic final draft of the SOP was ready and was edited for each University, with university-specific inputs like professors I'd like to work with since I was interested in research, curriculum, infrastructure, and so on.
The admission Counselors were helpful and supportive with good feedback. I had to make an early admission deadline for a particular University, and they were very understanding about it and helped me make it. Editors were prompt with the SOP iterations and always responded to all my questions regarding GRE/TOEFL examinations, applications, visa related queries. I had a bunch of visa-related questions, and I remember feeling lost about the whole process, but Galvanize helped me out with all kinds of questions and made sure they got me back on track. The resources they provided for the entire visa process, including the documentation and help with filling out forms were incredibly helpful. For applications, they helped me with sending emails to professors regarding research opportunities. I was very much satisfied with my experience with Galvanize. As mentioned, they were helpful at each stage of my admission process till obtaining my visa, especially during the time of the pandemic. Galvanize helped me out with all my questions, provided good feedback and input, and overall was very kind and supportive.
I had opted for GRE coaching services with Galvanize first and then opted for the admission counseling services as well. My experience with Galvanize concerning the GRE was really good. The resources are very well-researched and easy to understand, especially for the verbal component of the examination. The essays and the questions were quite tough but helped me prepare well. I had five mock tests, for which I got personalized feedback for all, which was helpful. The study material and questions for Quants were helpful as well. I enjoyed answering Quant's questions since I like Math. Also, I downloaded the Galvanize vocabulary app to improve my vocabulary which was very useful while attending the Verbal section of GRE. Analytical writing material and questions were quite informative. I enjoyed my experience with Galvanize, concerning GRE prep, in terms of the user interface, feedback, resources, material, and so on
Start early. It's always good to start early with your admissions because it is an elaborate process and you will have a lot of items in your checklist to strike off for each university. Apply to as many universities as possible, since the admission criteria for each University will be different and you might end up getting accepted to a University you never thought of. Make sure your SOP is good and strong, a really good SOP takes your application a long way when compared to your grades. Also ensure that your SOP reflects well on your experiences, your interests, why you are choosing a particular University, and how your University will help you with your goals. Try not to get too disheartened by rejections, it's part of the process, acceptance will come your way too! The entire MS admission process from shortlisting to getting your visa will be hectic and overwhelming, but you will get through it.
Ask for help, and get your SOP reviewed. For the GRE, please work on your vocabulary, that helps. Practicing questions, reading long passages, and summarising will help in the actual test. Because the GRE is a 3-4 hour exam and requires focus and concentration to be able to sit and take the exam, reading long passages will help you with your Verbal component. Do not take your mock tests lightly, they help you adapt to a GRE-like environment and also tell you where exactly you stand. When you start working on a particular topic, while studying and taking quizzes, you might score well. But taking a mock test will tell you what exactly your strengths and weaknesses are, as a whole.
Good luck with everything!

I aspire to pursue a degree in the US at a reputed university to get exposure to world-class facilities and the teaching-learning process. I want to experience the work culture there. I believe my potential in academics will get channelized and put in the proper direction. Also, under the able guidance of the professors/teachers, I may be able to produce more fruitful outcomes of the projects/research.
I found Galvanize on the app store and checked the reviews. After downloading it, I found it suitable for preparation. I took the GRE preparation service offered by Galvanize to improve my GRE score. Mentors are quite experienced and they know the demand of the exam really well. Their guidance catered to my weak areas. I was really struggling with the Verbal section. But whenever I asked any doubts, I would get instant help from the mentors. My mentors would arrange calls with GRE verbal experts who gave me personalized guidance and tips to attempt the GRE verbal section. Eventually, all this helped me in boosting my scores.
The syllabus and the questions of the mock tests were more difficult than the actual ones which eventually helped me in solving difficult problems in a time-framed environment. As my scores boosted, I was able to get good admits as well.
To all my fellow aspirants, I will say that just get done with GRE and TOEFL as early as possible so that you get enough time to craft winning SOPs and LORs.

My name is Jacob, and I am planning to do my master's in Economics. The first thing that I needed to do was to write my GRE. So, I started looking for GRE test prep, and that's when I came across Galvanize. I liked the way the course was structured, and the reviews were also pretty good. As such, I thought that Galvanize would be beneficial for me, and I enrolled with them.
Galvanize has an amazing team that helped me with the GRE prep. The Maths teacher would give me feedback after reviewing my mock test, and that helped me in my exam. I felt that they were looking into my progress very closely, and it made me feel at ease. It encouraged me to ask questions and clarify my doubts. All these factors played an important role in improving my scores. The materials on the website were also very helpful. What I liked the most about the GRE Prep were the practice papers that were very similar to the original exam.
Most of us don't know where we stand in terms of preparation, but Galvanize gave proper statistics to understand where exactly we stand. The goals were highlighted, and the prediction was pretty accurate. It enabled me to understand what is the way forward and how much time I should dedicate to my weak areas. The reports shared created a personal connection. This was an encouraging factor. So, for anyone who is aspiring for a good score on GRE, I would recommend Galvanize as an ideal platform.
All the support and understanding that I received for my GRE Prep encouraged me to take the admissions process as well. Galvanize gave personal care and guidance. The process they follow is not just about the documentation but also the support that is offered throughout it. And with their guidance, I was able to secure good admissions.
The admissions process was made super easy with its interface. The counselor was in charge of all my deadlines and helped me through the entire process. She gave me suggestions on how to shortlist universities based on safe and ambitious universities. She helped me categorize a Plan A and a Plan B as well in case Plan A did not work. I was very confident, as my counselor always backed me up.
I was very happy with the writing services. The editorial team even helped me formulate my SOP and LORs. The iterations were helpful as the editors suggested I add points that would enhance my profile. I also contacted the team even during late evenings. They took the time to respond to all my queries without any hesitation. This was the best part of my journey with Galvanize.
Galvanize was a great deal for the amount I paid because I know how much my friends paid in other consultancies, and it was a waste of money too. Comparatively, this has paid off very well. With the affordable pricing, the offers were great too. My parents are also very happy. They were especially happy with Galvanize in the monetary aspect as the package was budget-friendly. I was very happy that I got admitted to Warwick University because it is one of the best universities that specializes in Economics.
I would tell anyone interested in studying abroad to get hold of Galvanize as soon as possible. Be it for GRE prep or admission purposes. They offer other services as well, such as IELTS and TOEFL coaching. So, Galvanize would be a one-stop solution for acing your admissions. Galvanize would be the right choice for the resources, guidance in the process, and even in the monetary sense to support your journey in achieving your dream. Galvanize is the only right and best choice, in my opinion. My name is Jacob, and I am planning to do my master's in Economics. The first thing that I needed to do was to write my GRE.

My ambition is to work in Renaissance Technologies with American hedge fund firms that employ Maths and Stat PhDs for Quantitative Modeling. With this aspiration, I intend to take a master’s at an American university and later proceed with my Ph.D.
Galvanize did a pretty good job in helping me with my GRE prep. They covered all the question types in the verbal section thoroughly and provided 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 attend to each question logically and iteratively. Their exercises and tests helped me a lot.
Also, they had a decent amount of practice for the AWA part in which I was least confident. Their exercises and tests helped me improve a lot. I specifically like the personalized feedback regarding the AWA part which helped me analyze my strong and weak points.
The Mock tests were very useful and were fairly accurate in predicting the actual GRE scores. In every mock test, AWA was graded which helped me a lot in understanding where I stand. The preparation I made with Galvanize was fairly sufficient. So, I recommend Galvanize to all who have big dreams.

I came to know about Galvanize from some of my friends. They were satisfied with the service Galvanize provided. I checked the reviews online and talked with one of the employees at Galvanize and it seemed like a good platform to take my admission process forward with. I followed Galvanize Test Prep's plan which worked out pretty well for me. Galvanize has a lot of practice problems on its platform for both Quants and Verbal. But apart from a good enough GRE score, your overall profile is very important. SOP, Resume, and LORs need to be impactful, crisp, and engaging.
Writing SOP and LOR drafts is a tedious task and I needed help with it. So I took their Admissions Counseling service as well. Galvanize editors draft all of them for you and it's really helpful. Drafts for my SOP and LORs were well written.
The universities which were shortlisted for me were very well thought out based on my overall academic profile. They were categorized under Ambitious, Practical, and Safe based on the chances of my getting admitted into them. The documentation process is very easy to follow and Galvanize is always ready to help. Webinars and Live Video Conferences from counselors gave me all the basic information I needed. They make sure they answer all your queries. Counselors are very professional and helpful. I'm really happy that I chose to enroll in Admission Counseling.
I managed to secure admission from multiple universities in the US with the help of Galvanize. The website UI is also well-designed. College website links, and application deadlines are all mentioned on the front page which makes things easier to follow and navigate through.

I heard about Galvanize GRE Prep from my friend. My aspirations for pursuing education overseas are driven by the desire for enhanced opportunities and research experiences. I aim to study at a top university where I can access superior facilities, engage with renowned research personalities, and immerse myself in a diverse cultural environment. This step is crucial for my academic and personal growth, aligning with my goals for excellence in my field.
When it comes to GRE Prep, I can assure you that Galvanize does its job quite well. On my very first attempt, I was able to get a GRE Score of 333/340 (V:165+Q:168) with the help of Galvanize.
Here’s why I liked Galvanize:
I took the 60-day crash course, which was really cheap compared to other programs like GREedge or Magoosh.
They had a whole study plan for the next 60 days made for me based on the target I put up in the beginning so that I didn’t have to waste my time making one.
You’ll have your own WhatsApp group in which you can seek any help you want. They usually respond immediately.
If you have any doubts during the lessons, you can post them directly in the discussion tab, and you are most likely to get a reply within 24 hours.
They make you give short tests almost every day, which made me get accustomed to the actual test from the beginning. They also give detailed analytics of your performance after every test.
Mock Tests: You’ll get a package of 5 mock tests, each of them including the AWA sections and also the experimental section, which means you’ll get five real test experiences. You’ll get personalized feedback for each test (one or two days after taking the test), and you’ll know your weak and strong points. They’ll give you tips to improve according to your performance on the test. They also score you on the AWA part on each test, although you’ll get personalized feedback for only the 3rd test.
If you can’t find enough motivation for preparations and lag on the study plan, then don’t worry; their constant phone calls will keep motivating you.
I scored 305 on the diagnostic test, and after 60 days, I scored 333, which is a massive 28-mark jump. So, I would definitely recommend Galvanize to everyone.

I am aspiring to set foot in the world of Business consulting and make an impact in this domain. To work on my dreams, I planned to give the GRE a shot and found Galvanize while surfing through online sources. After thoroughly checking the reviews the course looked very promising to me and therefore I enrolled for a 30-day crash course.
Galvanize has the most elaborate material reserve. Based on a diagnostic test a comprehensive schedule is prepared which was helpful. This study plan is highly personalized and tailored to curb my weaknesses. After just a few days following the schedule, I noticed a difference in my mock scores. Apart from the materials listed in the study plan, I also had access to a wide range of solved questions, video lectures, and sectional tests.
The course also provided me with 5 full-length mock tests placed at intervals that accurately assessed my progress. With every mock test, I received a detailed report on the topics I needed to brush up on and tips on improving my time management and accuracy. A team of experts scored my AWA answers and gave me a very close estimate of the score which was very close to my actual GRE.
I was also been added to a WhatsApp group with brilliant tutors where I clarified all my doubts. The doubts are answered within a day of posting it. With all these experiences, I would highly recommend Galvanize to any GRE aspirant. If the plan is followed religiously and if we work on the provided feedback, a good GRE score is not far away.

I am Madhurima Chatterjee, Since I used to work full-time, I barely had time to prepare for my GRE. I was left with about 3 months before my GRE and I did not study for the exam quite seriously until then. I was hunting for mobile apps that would help me with my quants and verbal and that is how I found the free Galvanize App. Soon after registering myself on that app, I received a call from the Galvanize team enquiring about my plans for my exam preparation. After having a long discussion with them, I decided to move ahead with the Galvanize services for admission.
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. I answered all the questions with due diligence. Within a week, I received an update from the team and was quite satisfied with my university list, as it had most of the universities that I wanted to apply to.
Coming to the editorial support, 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.
Similar to the editorial services, the counseling team was very patient in dealing with my queries and had adequate knowledge of the required domains to provide me with support and advice. I had a great experience working with the entire team, and I am glad that I enrolled with Galvanize for my admissions process. It was one of the smartest and most economical decisions I ever made. The GRE test prep provided was very useful, the UI for the same is super innovative, and the periodic mock tests kept me on my toes. The intensity of the mocks is at par with the GRE level.

My name is Sai, and I have done my B. Tech in IIT, Kurukshetra in Electronics and Communication Engineering, and right after my graduation, I started working. I didn't have any insight into pursuing higher studies. I was not aware of industry standards.
The job that I worked created that thirst in me to advance my studies. After a year, I developed my interest in this field, and I wanted to take it a step further. My parents also supported me. I started having conversations with my friends who were doing their M.S. at various universities.
While surfing through resources and materials, I came to know about Galvanize through one of the ads while searching. Within a day or two, the team from Galvanize contacted me and got to know my profile. I understood their GRE study plan. I was also a working professional, and I was not confident about GRE prep or higher studies. So, I needed some guidance as I didn't have enough confidence, and I was looking for training options.
If I had done the process on my own, It wouldn't have been so easy like this, especially with my job at hand. My parents and I had a conversation with the Galvanize team, and subsequently, I took the whole package of admissions and GRE because I needed help throughout the process.
I started with the university shortlisting with my counselor. The shortlisting was done based on my preferences, including budget and location. Then my editor did a great job in drafting my SOP and LOR. The questions for the LOR and SOP were perfect. I was delighted that all my documents were ready before the university deadlines. I was very much prepared, and I was very confident while applying. Galvanize helped me develop my documents with superior quality.
I found the app and the portal easy to navigate. In some cases, if I had a doubt, I commented, and the issue was resolved. The What's App group was so good. They gave me constant reminders to do my task, and I was advised to do the tasks that needed attention. I had good counseling on the analysis of the mock test.
If I had done all these procedures on my own, I would have faced a lot of obstacles. Galvanize has made this process easy for me. My name is Sai, and I have done my B.

I was looking for an online platform for my GRE preparation. I installed the GRE vocabulary app by Galvanize, and I liked it very much. As such, I researched more about Galvanize and got some good reviews on Quora. I had listed down some other consultancies as well and went through their sites. After going through each one, I finally decided to join Galvanize.
I opted for their GRE Course, which proved to be extremely useful in increasing my score. My preparation for the GRE and TOEFL was really good, and I achieved the scores I aimed for. This gave me a lot of confidence in them, which is why I also chose to take their Admissions Counseling Services.
At first, Galvanize shortlisted 10 universities categorized as ambitious, practical, and safe. We had finalized six universities from this initial list. I received one admission early so I wanted to go to more ambitious universities. Galvanize provided me with 2-to 5 extra ambitious universities for applications, which was a game changer for me.
As we all know, SOP is a very essential part of the student's profile and Galvanize was instrumental in crafting my SOP based on my unique profile. The editors were very mindful of my expectations and thoughts and weaved the SOP accordingly. I would also like to point out that I received prompt responses to almost all my queries (mostly within a day).
Galvanize helped me prepare SOPs for 6 different universities. The support system was very good. We were added to a WhatsApp group, where we could post our doubts and questions. If there were a lot of questions to be asked, I would contact the counselors directly and get them resolved.
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 where I wish to go to pursue my master's in ML/AI as the best courses offered in these subjects are in the USA.
If you want to pursue your desired program at your desired university, Galvanize will help you get there. I have also recommended Galvanize for my friend, because I trust their expertise and knowledge, having witnessed it firsthand.

Hi, my name is Kruthi. I am located in Bangalore. I did my bachelor’s in Computer Science from NHCE, Bangalore. I am currently working as a Software Engineer at Ideal Software Solutions. I plan to do my Master’s in the same field as it is my passion and I wish to build a strong career path after my MS.
I got admission to some really good universities such as the University of Texas Arlington, Illinois University of Technology, and Stevens Institute of Technology. While I was going through the internet and looking for some professional support, I found Galvanize. I realized that they had the best platform for all the required services from preparing for my GRE to visa counseling. I also found that they had some really good reviews that made me choose Galvanize. And, hence, I enrolled myself in online admission counseling at Galvanize.
Talking about their counseling process, based on my score, preference, and my profile, they gave me the 12 best options, and they also categorized it as safe, practical, and ambitious, which made it a lot easier for me to select those 6 universities that I wanted to apply for.
The documentation process was smooth. I just had to fill out some questionnaires, with my initial inputs, and then they came up with fantastic LORs and SOPs that were of great help. The support I received from Galvanize was immense.
I had my counselor who was constantly in contact with me at every stage of the process. He also helped me make some practical decisions when I had to choose between the universities. I was able to reach out to him very easily whenever I had some questions or doubts related to the process. Being a working professional, if I had to take care of this process on my own it would have been really difficult. Galvanize being online, I saved a lot of time. They were supportive and professional. I was delighted with the experience that I had with Galvanize. Thanks to Galvanize for making things a lot easier for me

I chose Galvanize for GRE, TOEFL preparation, and Admission Counseling. Initially, I was checking for better GRE prep courses. I tried Magoosh and Princeton GRE prep courses, but couldn’t score well on the 1st attempt of the GRE. While checking out some GRE vocabulary courses, I found Galvanize on the Play Store. The prep course is affordable and the video explanations and the practice questions were of the same level as that of the exam. The feedback after the tests helped me to understand my weak points as well, which was crucial. Both the GRE and TOEFL courses were very helpful and enabled me to score good marks.
I chose Galvanize for Admissions Counseling as well. Several good reviews on Quora and Google Play Store gave me the confidence to opt for it. They helped me prepare SOPs, LORs, and my resume and shortlisted my prospective Universities. They also helped me prepare for the US Visa interview. I gave 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 to 10 universities from which I landed admissions to 8!
The drafting of the SOPs, LORs, and my resume was done very systematically giving due importance to all details. I was provided with a questionnaire to which I gave elaborate answers. Based on answers, an initial draft was created to which I gave my input and suggested some changes. They reviewed my changes and helped me in framing formal and well-structured documents. 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 every time 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. With their help, I overcame my fear of facing the interview. The many tips that I got from them enabled me to answer the questions clearly and briefly. We did a good number of mock sessions which also helped me gain confidence. All the guidance and suggestions provided by Galvanize helped me to get the VISA.
I wish to do my master's abroad, in the USA specifically, as many universities there offer excellent courses in AI, ML, and Data Science. I would suggest to anyone who is applying for a master’s abroad to choose Galvanize as my experience with Galvanize has been great! Galvanize is a one-stop solution for GRE, TOEFL, and Admission Counseling, and they are better than many of the institutes.

I did ground research on the internet to find a convenient way to learn for the GRE. The team at Galvanize and the counselors guided me constantly. The WhatsApp reminders were very helpful as they encouraged me to put more effort into the exam. I found from the Quora reviews that students had a wide variety of options for choosing their dream universities. Unlike regular agencies that have tie-ups with only certain universities and no room for many choices, I found that Galvanize allows us to choose from a wide variety of options depending on our financial ability and academic merit. I believed that choosing Galvanize would gain admission to universities with excellent rankings and teaching facilities as it was my dream to pursue the Environmental Engineering.
I was quite impressed with the counseling services. The shortlisting process went well. My counselor was very supportive and gave me enough time to make my decisions. I informed my counselor that I wanted to pursue a degree in Environmental Engineering, and within a few weeks, the counselor shortlisted the best choice of universities for me. I am thankful that I had a counselor who was patient with me throughout the entire process because I took a lot of time to make decisions.
Furthermore, the SOP process was good, and I am very thankful to the editor. The inputs asked earlier were very helpful in compiling all the information. I had the freedom to make changes, and in the end, after the iterative process, the SOP turned out to be an excellent one with great quality. The editor was extremely helpful in completing this process.

Out of 15 Universities to which I applied, I got 13 admits. I had a good experience with Galvanize and have already recommended Galvanize to a few of my friends.

I have chosen to accept admission from the University of Southern California for my Master’s in Computer Science. The following describes my wonderful journey with Galvanize.
I got to know about Galvanize from my friend. My admissions counselor at Galvanize helped me by shortlisting universities about my unique needs and profile. I provided my preferences and choices as well. He shared his views about the pros and cons of universities, which helped me choose the right university. My counselor helped me throughout this whole process. He also took 3-4 mock sessions, which helped me to ace my university interviews. I am really happy that I am going to study at one of my dream universities, and I would like to thank the entire Galvanize admission counseling experts and their services for the same.
With regard to test preparation, Galvanize has a structured daily study plan, and their mock tests were extremely helpful. Galvanize’s study plan was really helpful. They have plans for 45 days or 3 months or 6 months with challenging mock tests, which will help in preparing for the GRE.
I am very satisfied with the editorial help I received. The SOP is finalized after 5 rigorous iterations, and in each iteration, the SOP becomes more concise and clear. LORs and Final Resume also had 3 iterations, which helped me in creating a great resume.
My parents are ecstatic after witnessing my achievement. I am indebted to Galvanize as the counselor and editor were there to help me and guide me throughout.

I joined Galvanize through my friend’s recommendation as he had a good experience. Galvanize provided me with what I was looking for. It had a schedule with a proper meticulous day-wise study plan which helped me manage my job as well as every day studying with the appropriate strategies.
The day-wise study plan with each activity’s approximate time duration was also mentioned and this helped me plan wisely and finish the assigned tasks. The attractive thing about Galvanize was its budget-friendly package. It was so affordable compared to other similar services.
The status bar helped me to look at my progress and aided me in reaching my target score. This prediction was very accurate. The Course Manager kept me motivated if I was lagging and guided me throughout the entire process. The critical feedback provided after each mock test helped me improve my scores in the upcoming test. Galvanize provided the right strategies to solve every type of question and this perhaps helped me reach my target score.

I got to know about Galvanize from a friend. Later, I spoke to one of the counselors at Galvanize and enrolled for their admissions service. Personally, for me, Galvanize turned out really well. I took the complete GRE and counseling package from them.
The university shortlisting process went well. My counselor was quite genuine and kind. After carefully considering my major and budget requirements, she shortlisted prospective universities for me. I filled out the questionnaire forms for the Statement of Purpose and Letter of Recommendations and got the drafts. The editing team was extremely helpful. The kind of support that I received from the counselors was also excellent.
I also took the GRE preparation package. The math portion in Galvanize's platform is quite good and prepares you well for the exam. 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.
The kind of support that I received during my visa interview preparation was tremendous. I gave a series of Mock interviews with Galvanize and received feedback right after, which helped me improve in the next mock and finally in my final Interview. I think they are extremely helpful and provide great service.

I am Vaishnav. Having just completed my undergraduate studies, I am looking forward to pursuing a Master's in Business Analytics. The unparalleled exposure and hands-on, practical experiences that international students receive are what I aim for. I believe that such global exposure and a wider range of employment opportunities with a good salary package can be best achieved by studying abroad.
My group of friends discussed taking the GRE, and we were on the lookout for the best coaching centers. One of my friends, who conducted some thorough research on GRE prep, found Galvanize. He mentioned that Galvanize has many success stories and positive reviews on Quora. Following my own research, I was impressed by the standards at Galvanize. I felt that taking test prep online would offer me the flexibility to choose my schedule. The test prep was excellent. The people at Galvanize pointed out my mistakes, which significantly aided my preparation. I could take the actual GRE with great confidence. The Galvanize exam proved to be more competitive than the actual exam, with qualitative questions that greatly assisted me in the real exam.
After my GRE prep, I received a call from Galvanize inquiring if I was interested in Admissions Counseling. Impressed by the GRE prep and guidance, and convinced by my GRE score as well, I opted for admissions counseling. Joining them was a decision I am delighted with, as it led to my admission to my dream university.
Initially, I was unsure about how my profile should look and what my strengths were. I had my own ideas, and the people at Galvanize provided clarity.
It seemed prudent to apply to safe universities. Maryland University was my dream university, and gaining admission there felt incredible. Managing documents online was a challenge, involving several iterations. The resumes followed a proper template, focusing on retaining important points and omitting unnecessary details.
I was particularly impressed with the Statement of Purpose (SOP) and Letters of Recommendation (LORs). They sent a GForm to the professors for the initial drafts. The editors then refined these drafts to perfection.
Based on the input I provided, Galvanize drafted a compelling SOP. After several iterations to highlight the important points and make necessary changes, I collaborated with the editors to finalize the draft. The editor also assisted me with the university-specific SOPs, which was particularly challenging. I am especially grateful to the counselors. My advice to fellow aspirants is to plan all processes and documentation early. Starting early helps avoid the last-minute hassle.I am Vaishnav.

I am Sushant Bhatt. I finished my master's in Management Studies, and I work as a Software Engineer and a front-end developer. I feel that by going abroad, I can attain deeper knowledge in my field and enhance my career and financial prospects.
I had heard about Galvanize through media and advertisements like Quora. I have also seen the vocabulary app on Google Play and Quora. When I thought of pursuing my master's, I had a lot of doubts. So, I did some research online, checked the website, and read the testimonials for the GRE and Admission Counseling. I had some doubts about the distance as I am from Mumbai. But, the team from Galvanize promised to make it possible. They also offered me a GRE prep course along with the admissions. This pretty much convinced me to go with Galvanize.
The GRE providers usually stick to the course plan, but Galvanize extended the course, and I considered that a grand gesture. I had a mock test, and they extended it for a few days. My experience with Galvanize was great, and the best thing was the admission counseling. The process was excellent, and the information that they provided was very useful. They respond in short notice to my doubts. As and when I posted queries, they responded within the office hours, especially when I needed them.
The profile evaluation was good. I provided all the necessary documents that my counselor asked for. So based on my qualifications, experience, and GPA, they made a university shortlist based on my interest. They asked my opinion, and considering all of that, they finalized some universities. Galvanize helped me with 6 universities. It was divided into safe and moderate universities. When I wanted to add some universities, they gave great suggestions on whether to choose the universities or not. After the shortlisting also, I did some research about the university and then I realized counselors helped me a lot.
Drafting the Statements of Purpose (SOP) and Letters of Recommendation (LOR) was an exhaustive process. The editor did not leave a single area. I required three or four hours to fill out the questionnaire. But, it was required to portray my profile. After the initial draft, I had to just read and give reviews to add some details and exclude others. I didn't need many iterations.The final SOPs and the LORs were very good.
When I started this journey, I did not know the process. It was good to have Galvanize to guide us. It is not that the information is not available. But, it is scattered and challenging to assemble and access.
I would highly recommend the Admission Counseling. Then, the methods to approach the GRE were also great. The flexibility in time is commendable. If we give them the plan, they plan our schedule accordingly.

Hi, I was born and raised in Kota, Rajasthan. Recently, I completed my undergraduate program in electrical engineering at NIT, Jaipur.
My parents wanted me to go abroad for the internship after my third year, but that was challenging. Then, I decided to pursue higher studies because of the quality of education and the global exposure I would gain after my graduate studies. Gradually, I started searching for institutes that offer courses on the GRE and TOEFL preparations, as good scores in these exams are the prerequisites.
After doing the ground research and reading the good reviews, I found Galvanize trustworthy. The marketing team explained the process to me thoroughly, which helped me gain confidence in them, and I felt comfortable in understanding the process. One other major factor I liked about Galvanize is its cost-efficient pricing. It was affordable and came within my budget.
The curriculum designed by Galvanize for the GRE and TOEFL is outstanding. The Course Managers kept track of my progress and gave me contrast reminders to take up the section tests. Their motivation and support helped me push my boundaries. The vocab part was quite challenging, but the team bucked me up and found an effective way to tackle my challenge. They provided feedback for the mock tests and reports on PWF and analytical writing, which helped me identify my strong and weak areas.
The counselor was very friendly and helped me shortlist my universities, classifying them as safe, ambitious, and practical based on my scores. The documentation process was also smooth, as my resume was perfectly drafted as expected. My admission counseling experience was perfect. In the end, my counselor guided me even with the mock sessions for the visa interview. Therefore, I recommend Galvanize to all the aspirants for a smooth admission process.

That is how I found Galvanize, and I attended the workshop conducted by Galvanize, and I was impressed. I opted for two plans, one was for the preparation for GRE and TOEFL, and the other was for the admission counseling package. I have received an admission from Clemson that I am planning to join in the coming month.
So, I opted for the TOEFL and GRE prep plan first, and I liked it. Hence, I went for admission counseling as well. The GRE prep was good. It was not a coaching kind of situation. It was more of mock tests and all, which is really what is required for the GRE. The interface was quite good, and I liked the experience.
My counselor was great; she was really helpful. She had a clear understanding of my portfolio and gave perfect feedback for all the processes involved. The counseling part was great. I did not know any University, and my counselor was very helpful. The help I received for my visa processing was immense. I had a few mock interviews scheduled, and I filled out some questionnaires, which made the process a smooth one. It was a very seamless experience because this was my first time going for a visa interview, and I was very nervous about it. But after a few mocks, I was comfortable with it.
The overall experience was nice. I would like to write a Quora post for Galvanize thanking the team. I am grateful that I had a wonderful counselor.

Looking for some GRE preparation apps, I came across videos of Galvanize on YouTube. It was the arithmetic sessions that impressed me and compelled me to join. I first joined GRE. I enquired about the admission to the counselor and it was quite comprehensive and satisfactory. As such I decided to enroll in the Admissions Counseling as well in the hopes to get proper assistance.
SOPs and LORs are done within a week, and sometimes it's very fast, like within a day. It was error-free and the grammar was really good and it came out exactly how I wanted it. Obstacles will be there but do not lose hope and just follow the counselor. My counselor motivated me a lot and he was always there for me whenever I wanted. Another thing I liked in Galvanize is the personal assistance and they gained my trust because of that. The portal and courses are well structured.
I wish to go abroad and study to upgrade my technical and management skills by getting an education from universities that have a pragmatic approach rather than a theoretical one. This would help me to build my career.

I chose Galvanize to prepare for IELTS and got an 8 band in just 15 days of preparation. I started with a diagnostic test which helped in gauging my current level and a 30-day study plan that fits my schedule. The study plan has all the required modules for IELTS with explanation videos, many individual practice tests, and three full-length mock tests. I found the speaking module of the mock test very useful as we are invited to a face-to-face video conference and it feels like a real IELTS Speaking test.
The best part is the doubt/discussion forum which is dedicated to each video/ practice quiz and most of the time they give you a reply within 24hrs. The dedicated course managers are really helpful. In short, it has everything that one might need for the IELTS prep. I opted for a combo package of GRE+IELTS and pricing was so affordable. It is indeed the best virtual platform for test preparations. I haven’t found any budget-friendly alternative than Galvanize which has excellent content, methodology, and good UI.
I would recommend Galvanize to all GRE & IELTS aspirants.

I was a user of Galvanize app for GRE prep. I was impressed by the app, and hence, I decided to enroll in Admissions counseling too, which I found on Google.
I found the level of cooperation to be very good when it came to finding good things about the education offered at the universities. University shortlisting was a thorough and detailed process. SOP was drafted pretty well, the feedback was addressed swiftly too. I was impressed with the LOR drafts.
My admissions counselor has been helping me out for almost a year as I originally planned for the Fall intake but later changed to the next Spring intake. He was there to clarify my doubts and address all my queries. Didn’t matter if it was a week off or any festival, my counselor would make sure my queries were addressed properly. I’ve worked with 5-6 admissions counselors (outside Galvanize) for the past year and I can confidently say that my counselor at Galvanize is more competent, understanding, and friendlier than any of them. I could not have asked for better assistance.
In a globalized, well-connected world, employers are increasingly valuing graduates with international experience and education. Studying abroad will help me to learn new languages, appreciate other cultures, overcome the challenges of living in another country, and gain a greater understanding of the world.
My advice to fellow aspirants is that they start early with the applications, it gives you more options at the end and you wouldn’t have to panic at the last minute.

My UG college once sent out an email that allowed us to take a free mock GRE test. This is how I was introduced to Galvanize. Later, I attended a few webinars and found Galvanize to be cool and well-informed. I liked the informative webinars and the speaker-student interactions. It provided me with a lot of insight and gave me the confidence I needed to choose Galvanize. Also, I was interested in flexible online preparation for my GRE and IELTS.
With regards to the Admissions Counseling, since the reviews were decent, I thought it was a good option to continue with Galvanize. The process went well and ended up with me receiving admissions from all the universities that I had applied to. The best part of this whole process was the iteration process for the SOP. I liked the interaction with the editorial team.
My admission counselor was very supportive from the beginning. I'd ask you to trust whatever your admission counselor tells you because they've seen a lot of students like us. They've spent numerous hours analyzing profiles and finding the best universities based on those profiles. My experience with my admissions counselor was amazing.
I am interested in going abroad as I wish to pursue a master’s degree in Data Sciences and I have found that there are several good Data Science programs in the U.S. have been recommending Galvanize to all of my friends who're interested in a master's degree abroad. I liked the experience and it felt like a cakewalk all because of my admission counselor.

The reason I chose to go abroad for studies is to get access to a better education, good opportunities in research, and to earn more money comparatively than in India. I came to know about Galvanize through my friends and reviews on Quora.
My experience with Galvanize was wonderful as they offer GRE and TOEFL coaching along with admission counseling. Their GRE Mock tests were helpful and their Quality of questions was at par and even on a higher level compared with the real GRE. I managed to score 317 on my GRE and 110 on my TOEFL. They helped me in shortlisting the Universities. Provided step-by-step guidance for the application process and the visa application. They also took mock visa interviews which helped me a lot for the real Interview.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the whole Galvanize team especially My counselor who kept motivating me throughout the whole process and always used to pick up my calls at any given time. I was able to get accepted from top Universities like UIUC, Georgia Tech, Purdue, and Texas AM for a Masters in Civil Engineering, all thanks to my Counselor and the whole Galvanize Team.

I wanted to study abroad to gain exposure by interacting with people around the world, and it was my childhood dream to study overseas. Also, I wished to have better employment opportunities. The reason why I chose Galvanize is that I was told the process would be done in 20 days. As I am in a hurry, I have enrolled immediately. I have also taken the GRE prep course from Galvanize, and that gave me confidence that the admission counseling will also be up to the standards and help me get good admits of my choice.
I am from JNU, Kakinada & in my third year pursuing my CSC. I came to know about Galvanize through a friend. He was my senior, he took the 45-day crash course in Galvanize, so he suggested Galvanize. Since I had a lot of time, I took the regular course. I got in touch with some Galvanize representatives, and they sent me some links regarding the feedback and everything. I went to the Galvanize website, read the reviews, and found it very impressive.
The pricing was affordable when compared to other competitors. The user interface was more accessible to navigate throughout the website. I was very nervous after looking at my diagnostics score, which was 290. Even though I was very nervous, I felt okay about the quant section, but I was not that confident. I have completed around 40 sets of words out of 60 sets in the app, and that helped me a lot in the main exam. From the start, I was not able to do the test properly. After taking three mock tests, I started seeing some improvement and was able to score well in verbal. I did not expect to get 160 in verbal. In all the mock tests, the highest I got was 155, and I expected the same in my exams, but I got 167.
In the WhatsApp group, they were constantly updating and intimating when there was a mock test the next day they were also looking at my mock test scores and telling me the areas where I have to improve which was helpful. The overall course was very good. Another thing that helped me score 165 in quantitative was practicing lots of problems and questions ranging from different difficulty levels. In the mock test, not just the specific concepts were added, but all the concepts were included. So, we were able to get an overall idea of the actual test. Overall, my experience with Galvanize is pretty good.

I discovered Galvanize through notifications from my college and social media platforms. Encouraged by the positive reviews, I opted for Galvanize as my GRE preparation resource. My aspiration is to pursue higher education abroad, specializing in my field of engineering, and seeking excellent job opportunities along with global exposure.I constantly sought methods for preparation but doubted my ability to self-study effectively. I believed I needed external motivation and a structured approach to studying. That's when I found Galvanize on Quora, and I was immediately impressed by the overwhelmingly positive reviews. Without hesitation, I enrolled in the program. To my delight, Galvanize met all the criteria I had outlined earlier. The price was reasonable, and I was assigned an individual course manager who provided personalized guidance akin to a mentor. The study plan, materials, and assessments provided were comprehensive and exceeded my expectations. Thanks to Galvanize, I managed to achieve a total score of 309 (169 Verbal - 140 Quant), a significant improvement of 7 points within just a month of preparation.
While I could have dedicated more time to verbal preparation, my main focus was on quant, where I struggled with frequent silly mistakes. Galvanize's problem-solving strategies and doubt clarification sessions proved invaluable in addressing these errors. Their assessments, mock tests, and detailed feedback helped me prioritize my study areas effectively. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with the coaching provided by Galvanize, as it played a crucial role in my 7-point improvement within a month. This is my genuine personal experience with GRE preparation, and I wholeheartedly recommend Galvanize to anyone considering it.

I learned about Galvanize GRE Test Prep through social media, Quora, and Google Search. I believe that pursuing postgraduate studies at a prestigious university abroad will not only provide avenues for upgrading my skills but also offer global exposure and a platform to interact with some of the brightest minds. This will allow me to explore world cultures, enhance my career opportunities through global networking, and gain insight into diverse perspectives.
I had decided to do my Masters in the UK and knew I had to score well in GRE and IELTS to get into a good University. I was looking for an online prep course and came across Galvanize. I enrolled for their GRE + IELTS 45 Days prep course. I feel it is one of the best training programs out there. Especially their videos, lectures, short assessments, and, more importantly, the 5 full-length mock tests. Their vocabulary App was really handy and helped me learn and master new words on the go. I am still using the app after my exam and plan to continue it to enhance my word power. I also had personal counselors who kept track of my progress and made personalized study plans based on my Diagnostic Test scores while answering all my doubts. I scored 319/340 ( V -153, Q - 166) in GRE. Their IELTS prep course is equally beneficial; it gave me a thorough practice of all kinds of LRW questions asked in the exam and 3 mock speaking tests.
It has indeed turned out to be one of the best career decisions for me since I am a full-time online coding instructor and had to manage my job and my studies together. Thank you, Team Galvanize.
If you are prepping for IELTS, then I would suggest you go for Galvanize Test Prep. They have a very comprehensive IELTS prep course of 15 days or 30 days, depending upon the time you have before your exam date. I took their 15-day crash course and started practicing questions and religiously following their daily timetable.
I would suggest you go with Galvanize for your study abroad preparations.

My friend suggested Galvanize and after reading the reviews, I decided to proceed with Galvanize admissions as I wanted to do an M.S program for better opportunities.
I had a call with one of the counselors at Galvanize where I explained my expectations. Then, I received a list of 12 universities that had a mix of different majors- Computer Science, CyberSecurity, and Cyber Technology. After having a quick discussion with my counselor, I shortlisted 6 universities of my choice.
I liked the overall process of drafting my SOP. The questions asked demanded complete details of college and work. The SOP was fine-tuned and looked excellent after that. There was a lot of support provided when I had any questions. I was new to studying abroad and the details involved in the process. I asked my friends who are studying abroad but nobody was able to give me answers to all the questions I had, but Galvanize did. The team helped me prepare an amazing SOP describing my profile. They also helped me draft my resume in a very professional way. My overall experience was good.
The GRE and TOEFL preparation was great with Galvanize as well. Quant tests and questions were very helpful. I had already prepared one round of Quant before enrolling in Galvanize. Galvanize provided me with the edge needed for the exam which helped me get a 160.
The Resume and SOP process was the best part of the whole process. The outcome of the admission process turned out to be good. I got into all the 6 universities I applied to. I am happy that my resume and SOP were prepared in a way that helped me get admitted into all universities I chose.

I aim to study at one of the top universities in the US or Canada and am flexible in this regard. I am interested in institutions known for their history of nurturing good students. With this in mind, I plan to apply to Georgia Tech or the University of Southern California (USC) in Canada.
To everyone hearing this message, do not underestimate the GRE. It is not as simple as some might suggest, nor is it merely about the subject content you are learning. It requires consistent preparation; otherwise, organizers would not design a test for international competition to be as straightforward as you might think. Start your preparations early and have a clear plan. Initially, it's crucial to identify your strengths and weaknesses through a diagnostic test.
From my experience, I was an average student who could grasp concepts, but joining Galvanize significantly enhanced my score, especially on my first attempt. I recommend online programs like Galvanize, which offer superior classroom training for those who cannot prepare for the GRE on their own. Adherence to the study plan and dedicating a significant amount of time to preparation are essential.
Do not underestimate the effort required for GRE preparation. Work consistently and follow the advice of your Course Managers, as they often understand your needs better than you might realize.

I got a call as soon as I paid the money. They were in touch with me. We also had a WhatsApp group and whenever I had doubts, I could reach out and clarify them. I would post my doubts in the group. They were very responsive and that was great. The admissions counselors were very helpful.
The editors took all my suggestions and drafted all the required documents. They were quick to respond with suggestions and feedback. The Statement of Purpose was the most important part. They gave me a set of questions where I had to give inputs on my academic and personal stuff. The counselor was my go-to person and we met often via Google Meet. I gave my GRE very late and Galvanize backed me up by making me understand the process and they made me comfortable.

I learned about Galvanize through a friend. I am planning to pursue a Master's degree to further my knowledge in my field and to diversify within the domain, seeking better opportunities and earning a good income.
I have completed my GRE course with Galvanize. I explored various topics on the website and engaged with the community on Quora, where everyone posts questions. The practice exercises provided by Galvanize were immensely helpful, and not looking at the options beforehand was a beneficial strategy.
I have no complaints about the verbal section, and I scored much better than anticipated. The strategies for memorizing words were effective. Although I'm not very good with names, I was surprised by some of the words. I'm not sure if I'll remember them in the long term, but I currently recall them well. The vocabulary app is very handy and easy to access; it's more engaging than logging into a website, making learning feel like a game. This approach encourages more practice.
The emphasis on time management and the average time taken per question were insightful. It's easy to overestimate your abilities, but the metrics provided a realistic benchmark. Knowing that the average time is 60 seconds per question helped me balance my time better, understanding that some questions don't require excessive time. The tests, consisting of 20 to 25 questions, were manageable, except for the longer essays, which were challenging.
The mock tests were more difficult, but I managed to complete most of my sessions on time. The course managers were supportive, providing the right amount of encouragement without being overbearing. Their reminders and motivation helped me stay on track, emphasizing the value of having guidance, even when faced with challenges.
I also explored other resources, but noticed that many don't offer even a single preview video without payment. In contrast, Galvanize's YouTube channel provided limited but free access to videos, demonstrating a commitment to helping students rather than purely making money. This approach, recommended by a friend who excels in vocabulary, seemed particularly suited to my needs.
I opted for Galvanize's admission counseling but am still deciding on the country, with a focus on scholarship opportunities. I've recommended Galvanize to my cousins. Initially uncertain about my direction, Galvanize helped clarify my goals and aspirations. Therefore, I suggest that anyone looking to study abroad consider seeking assistance from Galvanize.

The course helped me equip qualities to identify patterns in critical thinking and logical reasoning. I watched the material videos to gain more focus. There wasn't much difference between the mock series and the real GRE test. It had the same standards.

I am currently a third-year student at BITS Pilani. I received a notification email in my campus mail, and that’s how I found Galvanize. I received a call from Galvanize, and based on my talk with them, I started gaining trust. That is how I began my journey with Galvanize.
The user interface was pretty good with the portal. I faced challenges in the verbal section of the GRE and was keen to improve my score with the help of Galvanize. I got good help in preparing my verbal preparation. After the mock series, I understood that the content had different sections like reading, text, and vocabulary. I understood and read all the questions, and I spent more time on each question. It gave me ample time to read all the reading comprehension questions. I utilized more time in analyzing this and skipped the text questions. This utilizing extra time paid off. This strategy was really helpful, and the scores improved.
I ardently started following the timetable and took the mock tests. I had a goal to utilize all my time in verbal preparation. The mock test was very similar to the original GRE. The personalized report helped me to rectify my mistakes. I observed the comprehensive feedback and identified the areas of growth. The Whatsapp group was helpful as we could post our doubts and get our queries clarified. This kind of interface was specifically liked by me as it is the main way we communicate. I found this method more effective and efficient.
Furthermore, I was very impressed with the essay writing help they offered. The SOP iteration process helped a lot. I could arrange my thoughts in a better way through it.
Also, the VISA assistance process was really great. I got 3 mock interviews, which helped a lot. It was great throughout, even till the visa interview.

I was planning to prepare for the GRE for a long time. Through one of my friends, I came to know about Galvanize. I then signed up for the Galvanize 45-day program, and I aimed to complete all the submissions and give all the assessments provided by Galvanize. It was very helpful. Completing the daily tasks plays an important role. When you are ultimately taking the GRE on your test day, it will be really helpful to try to work on multiple things. First, give a mock test and try to figure out which area you are not that good at and try to focus on those weaker areas.
Verbal was a little hard, and I scored 151 and 170. I gave multiple tests. I was checking which areas I am strong in and which are the weak areas I need to improve. The Galvanize app was too good. The verbal section we face in GRE is very hard when compared to the verbal section we face in Galvanize, which is much harder than any other, and the Galvanize test is also very hard. I was using Galvanize material and GRE flashcards. Asking the expert was also helpful for people who have technical doubts.
The idea of creating a WhatsApp group for the students was good. It's easy to reach people with just one message; someone in the group would respond within three minutes. It is very useful. Even the other group for admissions counseling was also good. I started my admissions process by choosing the Universities. The timed and untimed tests were as effective as the small assessments. They give 33 practice questions, averages, integers, short quizzes, and practice questions. All those practice questions will have an easy level, and the level of difficulty will increase gradually.
I wanted to talk about the personalized mock test in Galvanize. They will send personalized feedback or reports, and they will point out everything regarding the section you are lacking, which section you are doing well, and in which section you need to improve all these they will point out. This personalized feedback on the mock test is good for the GRE.
The verbal part was difficult. If you are taking the GRE in 45 days, the first thing is to take a diagnostic test; it doesn't matter even if you get 270 out of 340. Just take one topic a day. Give all those on each day and try to practice as much as you can; it is the only way to get verbal and try to get that vocabulary. You will have to read a lot; then you will have 3 or 4 paragraphs that will have complex words. The Galvanize GRE prep program is more than enough. You will begin from scratch, and the basics to the complex stuff are taught. I just googled and came to know how good Galvanize is. I got good reviews from everywhere, and multiple people told me about Galvanize. I trusted the internet and signed up for the course. I would suggest, if you sign, it will be helpful. You will practice every day from morning to evening. They will give mock tests and other assignments, which will help you achieve a very good score as well.

I wish to do my major in Computer Science. For this, I believe global exposure in the field will help. As such I wish to do it abroad. There I will be able to experience contemporary technology.
I first heard of Galvanize through the Vocab application on the App Store. I was impressed with their commitment to documentation and planning to take the exam. As such I decided to enroll with them.
In my experience, the GRE preparation with Galvanize is the most accurate and the quality of practice questions resembles the final ETS GRE. I scored an astounding 321 on the GRE final test, which was only possible with Galvanize. Their accuracy is reflected in the fact that the argument task I got in my final exam was from the second mock I took with them. Most of the vocabulary I’ve seen in my exam was covered in the Galvanize Vocabulary app.
When I was learning vocabulary I couldn’t find the best platform and the best way to memorize the words I learned. Fortunately, I landed on the Galvanize vocabulary app, which helped me a lot in remembering the words by taking a glance at the context of the word and how to use it, and the picture so that we can easily remember the respective word.
I started my journey for GRE preparation with Galvanize. They offer the diagnostic test and according to that and the date you want to take the actual test, the AI and algorithmic tools provide you with an individual study plan. You can get access to lots of videos for Verbal, Quant, and AWA. They have flexible plans according to every individual, and they have 5 free mock tests. They give personal feedback and the questions you ask during the recorded sessions through mail and within the platform are addressed within 24–36 hours which is the biggest asset an enthusiastic student can have. The team that gets assigned will take care of your entire journey, they will alert you whenever you have a Mock Test the next day, or any sort of technical glitches occur to your account. They provide personal feedback after every mock test, which helps to find the weaknesses and areas one must focus more on.
Overall, I strongly recommend every enthusiastic learner and GRE aspirant to go ahead with Galvanize.

I contacted them and took Galvanize as my preparation tool for IELTS. So, while preparing for IELTS, I checked the services provided on the website, and I got to know more about Galvanize. They guided me very well. So, I thought I should proceed with the Galvanize and hence enrolled with them.
The counselors are just great to guide and support us. They build our resume, and SOP and take care of the visa process too. I got admission to Monash University. This is because of the constant support I received from my counselor. Every time I had doubts, the counselor guided me in every possible way. I would appreciate the efforts of my counselor regarding the visa process as I was in a last-minute rush. My counselor, despite recovering immediately from his sickness, tirelessly worked in processing all my documents with utmost sincerity. He provided suggestions to choose the universities based on my requirement and learning needs. My counselor kept asking me the details with patience throughout my visa process to prepare me well. The entire process was seamless only by the expert counselor's advice.
My family is very excited and I am feeling really good. My visa also got approved despite all the last-minute setbacks. Everyone is happy that I have got admission to a top university. I would recommend Galvanize to everyone.

I want to have a good career and learn something, but on the plus side, most of my family and cousins are in the US, and my friends are moving to the US, so I felt it was a good option. Galvanize service is top-notch, and the way they take care of everything felt good to me during my GRE prep. So, I decided to go with Galvanize.
I was interested in business studies from the start. I didn't feel CAT was the right option for me, but I felt pursuing higher studies at a really good University, so that way I thought of doing higher studies. I wanted to do a Master's in Business Analytics because I was interested in Data Science and the Modelling of problems. That way, I felt that Business Analytics would be right for me. One of my seniors took coaching through Galvanize test prep, and he saw a huge improvement in his score. He recommended Galvanize. I knew Galvanize only from him and it helped.
I researched from my side. I searched on Google and found good Quora reviews. All the Quora reviews were very positive, and I knew that Galvanize is not live to teach, but it is self-studying. I felt that it would be better for me. I felt Galvanize would be the best option for me to start my test preparation. Galvanize is the most affordable GRE test prep. I don't think any other platform offers such a reasonable price, even with counseling, GRE, IELTS, or TOEFL. I think Galvanize is the best option.
I scored 308 on my diagnostic test. I felt it was a fine score, and I could improve because I knew where I was making mistakes. My senior convinced me as he, too, got a low score in diagnostic, and his final score was great. He advised me to identify the mistake and work on it. So I followed that. I wasn't nervous, but it helped me for sure. The customized study plan was beneficial. My quantitative was a bit strong, and my verbal was a bit weak. So Galvanize set my study plan accordingly to the best of my capabilities. The GRE verbal app was of great help to me. I learned a lot of words from that, and the course manager shared a pdf with nearly 1000 words. That was the most helpful thing, and I followed that religiously till my exam.
The quantitative section and content were good for me as I was strong in them. The verbal section was also fine. Sometimes, I felt it was difficult for me because I was weak in the verbal section. Some levels were very difficult, and some I could do it confidently. The more challenging levels gave me an understanding of where I was weak. My doubts were solved. I just had doubts about whether I was improving or where I was going. This was something I had, and my course managers helped me with it.
I think the Mock test at Galvanize is more difficult than the actual GRE. It is good to be that way. It gave me a real-life experience. I looked at the personalized reports and learned a lot from them. The course managers were great. The constant reminders and warnings on my status of where I lack really helped a lot.
I will surely recommend Galvanize to anyone because first, it is very reasonable, and if you follow it rigorously without losing confidence by understanding your mistakes, I think anybody can score 320 plus.

I wish to go abroad and study to earn expertise in the field of semiconductor technology at world-class universities with the best research facilities. Studying in such universities will prepare me for entrepreneurship.
I first heard of the services provided by Galvanize through a webinar conducted by them at my college, IIT Roorkee. And I can vouch for Galvanize. I enrolled in the 90-day Verbal course and it helped me increase my Verbal score from 146 to 160. I got a total score of 326 on my GRE.
Galvanize provides a very efficient personalized study plan which is tailored according to the needs and expectations of every student. So anyone who has a busy schedule and wants to stay on track for GRE preparation should go for it. The customized study plan and admissions counseling were the deciding factors for me to choose Galvanize.
Some videos provide important tips to ace the GRE and the practice questions are at par with the level of the actual GRE. The RC questions on the GRE are very tricky and Galvanize has ample practice questions and video explanations to help deal with them. Apart from that, the instructors also help to clear doubts. The assessments track your performance and allow you to compare your accuracy with that of other learners.
It has 5 full-length mock tests that prepare you for the strenuous 4 hours of the GRE. It also provides a detailed personalized feedback report for each mock test that helps to identify the areas that need to be worked upon.
The Galvanize Vocabulary app is the best vocabulary booster I have come across. The words are presented with their meanings, uses, and a picture that significantly aids in memory retention. Galvanize also has an app containing question banks that helps to practice questions on the go.

I was searching Quora for the best GRE preparatory course. I read reviews for 3-4 days. There were many positive reviews. Many liked the program offered by Galvanize because it provided reasonable timetables and helped stop procrastination. So, I opted for this program, and it really helped me.
I did my undergrad in Electronics and Communication. Currently I am working as a Software Engineer at Bosch. I wanted to do my master's in Data Science. In college, I took artificial intelligence as my elective subject. That was when I became curious about learning data science. At Galvanize, they used strategies to explain that students should not remember the formula but rather remember the technique/concept because this will help them get marks. It is going to test you in applying concepts, and you must be clear in your concepts before taking a test. Those quant videos helped me understand the basic concepts, and verbal videos also helped. How to analyze, the five steps, writing points, so that whenever a question comes next time just go to that part and you will find the answer directly from there.
The predictor score in Quant was good, but my verbal score was not good. I told my mentor, and they trained me for seven days in verbal, and I started improving. My score went from 148 to 158. I didn't expect this to happen in one week!
If the first section of the GRE test goes easier, then the next section may be more challenging. We were told not to analyze this. But still, I was thinking, what could I do wrong in this when the question is easy? But on the day of the exam, it was really easy. The feedback helped me figure out what was going wrong in my essay writing. The vocabulary app was good. It also had pictorial representation, so it was easy to remember.
My score has increased only because of Galvanize.

Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani (BITS Pilani)
I am an engineering graduate from BITS Pilani. I wanted to do an MS in Machine Learning or Data Science, with a major in Computer Science. I wish to do so abroad, the US specifically as the opportunities are best there. Also, I wish to attain more exposure professionally as well as personally. So, to apply for a master's abroad, the GRE had to be done first. However, I decided that I did not have much time to prepare, schedule the preparation, and manage my pretty challenging work. So, I started looking for programs that would enable me to manage this preparation. I shortlisted 2-to 3 programs that would suit me. I researched them, read the reviews, and went to each of the websites to check the contents. After this research, I decided that Galvanize’s 90-day program for GRE, and 45-day program for TOEFL would be the best for me. It was affordable compared to other products, and the testimonials on quality truly convinced me.
I practiced the mock tests to brush up on my Quants as I wasn't too worried about it. I feel that every engineering graduate has what it takes to do Quants. But still, there were some concepts that I didn't know in the statistics which I covered only because they came up in my Galvanize mock tests. The Galvanize mock test was slightly tougher than the questions I got in the GRE. So my distribution of time was accustomed to a more difficult level. So, in reality, I could get time to do a second revision for every question to minimize mistakes. I think that's what helped me to get a score of 169.
Verbal was a major challenge for me because my language is not at all strong. My English needed a lot of improvement. That is what I relied upon the coaching material primarily for. So, I found that the vocabulary application on the Galvanize platform was very helpful in this regard. It had several words along with etymology and similar words, acronyms of the words, and their usage. Moreover, the app was developed in a way that promoted the revision of what you learned. That was pretty helpful because it is very difficult to learn 20-30 words every day.
Another aspect of the app that helped in my preparation was the mock test. I found the GRE mock test pretty similar to my actual GRE experience. So there weren't many surprises. My scores were pretty much similar as well. The detailed analysis report helped a lot with the Verbal section. I was able to improve a lot of sections, especially in reading comprehension. The suggestions given after my mock tests to approach the passage in a specific way, actually helped me improve my marks. Similarly, on the vocabulary front, it helped me score better.
The feedback was also very helpful in the AWA. As I said, my English is not very strong, even when it comes to writing. In my initial tests, I did not score more than 3 or 3.5 because I was not able to answer the question properly. The feedback was really helpful there as it helped me understand how we could generate more points in less time.
My TOEFL experience was pretty much similar to GRE. TOEFL is exclusively a language test. I took the mock test of Galvanize and scored less than 25 simply in reading and listening. However, in the actual TOEFL exam, I scored a 30 in all four sections. Given the higher standard of Galvanize, I found the actual TOEFL to be a lot easier. I got more time to skim through questions for a second revision.
The WhatsApp group was very helpful for the logistical aspects and also for the reminders. Overall, Galvanize has been very helpful and supportive, and I had a great experience.

I was also very nervous about my visa interview, but my counselor motivated me by offering me mock interviews and boosted my confidence. I am happy to share that my visa also got approved. I was so happy with the SOP. My ideas and inputs were flawlessly fed into the SOP. The final draft was extremely satisfactory.
My parents are pretty happy. This is my happiest moment as I have made my parents proud. I was working during my preparation and had a hectic schedule and I never thought this dream of pursuing a master’s abroad would happen, but finally, it's happening. Thank you so much Galvanize.

So, I contacted an executive from Galvanize after my friend’s suggestion and after seeing the testimonials, I decided to proceed with Galvanize.
I loved the platform and the way it was designed. It was so easy to navigate and track my progress. The strategy for the reading section was so great and I could always revisit the questions that I was not sure about. The reading test went very well. Initially, I was struggling a lot before joining Galvanize, especially with reading. But, Galvanize helped me follow a strategy and made this easy for me. The speaking section was also quite tricky. After my speaking section, I used to get a very comprehensive response with feedback.
The Instructors were good and answered all my queries immediately. The Instructors were friendly and so I felt comfortable with all of them. The reports were very helpful, after every mock test, the analysis highlighted all my strong and weak points. This helped me focus more on my weak points. I will recommend Galvanize to every aspirant.

As I was looking for assistance for my GRE prep, I got a call from one of the counselors from Galvanize. I first got to know about them through YouTube. After understanding the whole course and how it will help me I chose Galvanize for my test prep as well as admissions journey. Everything was online which made it easier for me to work on my applications from my home. As a working professional, I truly appreciated the support I received to make the application process simpler.
So we started with shortlisting universities which went quite smoothly. The counselor assigned shortlisted universities for me as per my requirements.
Talking about the SOP, this was so helpful for a person like me. I was a working professional, 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 LORs. The framing of all my inputs in a well-written and crisp essay was done by Galvanize. For sure this task was not my cup of tea!
My counselor was very helpful. She was patient with me all the time and always helped me with my queries. She scheduled 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 friend got her visa and is admitted to her desired university. I told them about the online service Galvanize offered and the iteration approach of the documents. Also, I told them about exam preparation help provided by Galvanize.
I am keen to study abroad as it will help in my career growth. For this reason, I am very satisfied with the services Galvanize provides. They made this journey a lot easier than I thought.

After exploring various resources, I came across Galvanize. Impressed by their comprehensive offerings and attractive pricing.

I aspired to take a master’s program abroad to specialize in my study field and gain more knowledge. So, in an attempt to take up the GRE, I searched for coaching centers. After conducting so much research online, I chose Galvanize for my preparation.
After enrolling with Galvanize, I understood that their study plan was perfect and I got to know that they also help with the admission process. They gave me a diagnostic test to know where I am in terms of the GRE general test. Based on the results, they prepared a study plan and I just followed that. My diagnostic scores were very low and after the proper coaching, I scored 155 in verbal and 160 in Quant. My target score was 310 but I am glad that I got 315. Hence, I would recommend Galvanize to all the GRE aspirants.

I came to know about Galvanize through one of my friends. He took services from Galvanize and his feedback was positive. I just had two weeks to prepare myself for the GRE and that is when I took the Galvanize test prep. The quality of the resources and materials was very good.
I liked the GRE prep services. So I enrolled for the Admissions Counseling as well. The effective price structure and the strong word-of-mouth publicity was also a factor that helped me make my decision to choose Galvanize for my admissions process.
The SOP that was drafted by the team was very good. The SOP was very helpful as my scores were very low and the SOP helped in enhancing my profile.
The university shortlisting is pretty good as well. My counselor added a mix of safe, ambitious, and low-ranked Universities. I went ahead with my set of shortlisting as well. Steven’s was one among them. I never thought I would make it because the University's expectations and standards were very high. However, under the guidance of the Galvanize team, I was able to secure admission there.
One suggestion that I got from Galvanize that I liked the most and that helped me was that we should not directly apply for CS but for related streams. So, that way even after having a weaker profile, there will be a stronger chance of getting admission in the relevant field. I got my admission with a scholarship. I applied for subjects like Machine learning as well. I am glad that I got admission to Stevens and U.S. Boston.
I even took up the Visa services offered by Galvanize and I am very glad that I did. The mock interview sessions were really helpful for the process. This helped me to stay calm and these things worked in my favor.
The overall experience was great. It covered everything. I would suggest that my fellow aspirants start the process early and give exams early to avoid the last-minute hassle.

I believe studying abroad would provide me with global exposure, access to superior research opportunities, and better job prospects. Also, the testimonials from students who previously enrolled with Galvanize have been particularly inspiring. In my quest for GRE preparation resources, I discovered Galvanize through an internet search. This course came highly recommended by many, leading me to believe that enrolling with Galvanize would be beneficial.
The quality of learning materials, tests, and assignments offered by Galvanize is exceptional, providing a clear indication of the types of questions to expect on the final GRE. This preparation was instrumental in helping me achieve a good score. Special emphasis was placed on the verbal section, which is critical as it is where most marks are lost in the GRE.
The quantitative materials were also invaluable in revisiting basic mathematical formulas and concepts. The online software for the Galvanize GRE course was extremely helpful in tracking progress and managing pending assignments. The data analytics reports generated after each assignment allowed me to assess my performance, highlighting areas for improvement and mistakes to correct before the final GRE. The Galvanize GRE mobile app was an essential tool in my preparation, earning a 4.7 out of 5 rating. My course manager played a crucial role in motivating me, especially regarding the verbal section, which I initially found daunting. Regular follow-ups ensured I was well-prepared for the exam, resulting in a verbal score of 159 and a quantitative score of 168, totaling 327. I also achieved a 4.5 out of 6 on the analytical writing section.
I would highly recommend Galvanize to any friend considering taking the GRE.

My name is Swaraj Bhosle and I am from Maharashtra, currently studying Aerospace Engineering at Hindustan University, Chennai. I wish to go abroad to get quality education, explore different cultures, experience the competitive world, and attain a global perspective. Here I will get to test and improve my abilities and skills.
I first heard about Galvanize through a seminar that they gave in HITS, Chennai. What convinced me the most to enroll with them was the transparency in the admission process and a walk through reality. I opted for a master's program in the UK and Germany for which Galvanize assisted me very well. I got admissions from some of the renowned universities in Germany such as USL and TUM. I decided to move forward with TUM.
Since Galvanize is located in Chennai, it was easy for me to locate it and research it. I was looking up consultancies in Chennai and a friend told me to look up Galvanize. I went to their office and met with an agent who explained the whole process to me and my parents. The other consultancies that I spoke with had a process wherein we have to give our details and they will create a mail on behalf of us and we have to give them power of attorney to move forward with the application. 90% of the consultancy follows this process. The difference between Galvanize and other consultancies is that I had full control over my application which was very satisfying. The course structures in other consultancies were also pretty complex. Things had to be paid for in installments.
Coming to Galvanize it was very simple. They said that the consultancy is not responsible and I have to handle my applications. The only thing that they will be helping with was the Statement of Purpose (SOP), and the profile-building part. They also helped me with IELTS and I took a course on GRE. I have paid almost five times less than what other consultancies were demanding, and the value that they promised was delivered.
First I filled my profile in the Google form, and they collected all the data including my achievements, interests, countries which I would be opting for, my preferences for any specific colleges, etc.. The first session I had with my counselor was mainly to help me understand how the process would go on and what I would be doing every month. She also suggested ways to improve my profile.
It was not very hard nowadays to communicate digitally. My counselor was always there to help me. After I filled out the Google form, I was given five iterations through which I could give the editor my suggestions and feedback, and that was pretty good. I took my own time to check the iteration and I added whatever I needed to and I could see the drafts and make the changes. That part was pretty easy and convenient and it was very fruitful. I got help for Letters of Recommendation (LOR) also. They were tailored very well.
Then I shortlisted the universities with the help of my counselor. We had a lot of counseling sessions before finalizing the universities. I was opting for two countries, she guided me on how to balance both, which courses I needed to focus on, etc. After a lot of sessions, I arrived at the point where 3 Safe, 3 mediocre and 3 ambitious universities were selected based on my profile and interest.
I am getting assistance from the Visa team as well. Definitely I would recommend Galvanize to anyone opting for a masters abroad. It was a collaborative effort with Galvanize that got me where I am.

He convinced me that Galvanize would undoubtedly help make my applications and all the procedures such as SOP better than what I could have done.
