  • Thank you! 96th percentile!

    I cannot thank you enough for this podcast! The strategies you share are total game changers. I took the GRE before my Masters program 6 years ago and studied a bit here and there. I did very mediocre and got a score in the low 50th percentile for verbal and worse for quant and writing. I am applying to another graduate program that is more competitive than my previous Masters degree program and in typical fashion left studying until the last minute (2 weeks prior to the test). I knew I wouldn’t... more

  • Thank You (and one small suggestion)

    Guys. Thank you so much! I often drive and need a way to study safely when I can’t do practice problems and YouTube. Love the unique approach you provide to the personal/mental side of the GRE.

    That’s the only thing holding this back from being my absol... more

  • Highly recommend!

    I have been studying for the GRE for a couple of years on and off and for once I feel like I have an edge to break into the 90th percentile in quant after discovering these guys and the stellar system. Orion is really incredible and had a unique strategy for test-taking that is both practical and brainy at the same time. Thanks guys!

Applying to PhD programs: advice from an applicant
Q: What's the best approach to securing strong letters of recommendation?
Identify recommenders who know you well and can speak to your growth and research or work skills; prepare them with clear timelines and context, and ensure letters address your research abilities as well as your character and fit for the program.
Applying to PhD programs: advice from an applicant
Q: What are the biggest mistakes in the statement of purpose and how can they be avoided?

Applying to PhD programs: advice from an applicant
Q: When should applicants start looking for research experiences and labs?
Eva suggests starting early, ideally by undergrad, especially at R1 schools where opportunities are more readily available, and to target labs that align with your interests and to seek roles like lab assistant or lab manager to build meaningful experience.
