GRE Score- 330 Verbal- 164 Quant- 166

Tata Institute of Social Sciences

I recently took the GRE after having enrolled with Galvanize for their 45-day crash course. I scored 164 in Verbal and 166 in Quant on my first attempt. Reasons for why Galvanize was helpful are as follows-

1. Galvanize suited me because they had a plan which fit within my time-limit and was affordable for me. I also felt that with my basic knowledge I did not need more than 45 days as that would only lead to burn-out. But for those who need more time, Galvanize has longer packages which I felt were more economical than the ones in the market.
2. I liked the general layout of the Galvanize platform as it made doing tasks systematic. I’m a check-box type of person so I like to set short goals and check them off my list. For that, Galvanize provided short tasks on a daily basis that I just had to finish without worrying about what to do next.
3. Both the Verbal and Quant sections of Galvanize were comprehensive and focused on getting basics right to solve every question. I also preferred to understand general strategies rather than learning how to do every sum. For that, the Galvanize instructors were very helpful as they did not hesitate to digress during the lesson if some helpful strategy or concept needed to be discussed.

My experience was that you need to be smart about how you spend your time preparing. Know your strengths and know your weaknesses. Move within the sections as that turned out to be the biggest lesson that Galvanize taught me !

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.

Galvanize on its own is a good program. Some of the features I liked most were:

1. The Vocab Prep App is a user friendly application that actually helps drives results. One of the most effective learning tools that I have experienced so far.
2. The mock tests are of good quality and very close in difficulty with the actual exam.
3. The Galvanize GRE prep App helps with learning on-the-go. Again a very smooth experience just as in the case with vocab app.
4. The Essay type question templates are very good.

Overall, my experience with Galvanize has been productive and fruitful. I was engaged with the whole experience and was able to score good with it’s help (331/340).

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

How was the VISA assistance process?

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

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

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

Galvanize was a bit expensive but really helpful overall! 

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

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

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

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