Your Graduate Journey Begins Here!
Working with this team was a game-changer for my graduate school applications. Calvin is my guy - his availability, responsiveness, and especially his support with writing were invaluable. From shaping ideas to polishing final drafts, he helped me put together strong applications, and I’ve already been admitted to several of my dream schools as a result.
The support went beyond just application prep. The GRE class was solid and helpful, even though I ultimately didn’t end up taking the exam. What surprised me most (in a good way) was how accessible and supportive the team was outside of scheduled sessions - it felt like real mentorship, not just a service. I’d absolutely recommend them to future applicants looking for reassurance, guidance, and genuine support throughout the process.
The support, insights and guidance I have received from the GradQuo team have been invaluable. Calvin helped me immensely with refining my interests and career goals into a clear list of programs to aim for. With the team's help I was able to strategically craft my CV and essays and secure recommendation letters that represented me well. I genuinely believe that GradQuo was the key factor that helped me to stand out and secure the acceptances and scholarships I dreamed of. Calvin in particular is very knowledgeable about the application process and offered so many insights that I wouldn't have thought of.
The team has been incredibly supportive and accommodating throughout the entire process from choosing schools to navigating scholarship offers. Everything was personalized and structured in a way that was easy to follow and removed the pressure of figuring out each step on my own. Even when I began to fall behind schedule due to balancing other commitments, they gave me the push I needed to finalize my applications on time. I would highly recommend GradQuo's services to anyone looking to pursue graduate studies abroad.
I’m incredibly grateful to GradQuo for the role they played in my journey. When I first started, my statement of purpose felt overwhelming and unfocused. With their guidance, I was able to shape my ideas into a clear and compelling narrative that truly reflected who I am and what I hope to do. They completely reformatted my resume so that my experiences were presented strategically and professionally. The interview preparation was just as impactful. The mock interviews were thoughtful and challenging, and the feedback helped me refine not just my answers, but my confidence.
I truly could not have gotten the Rhodes without Calvin and Victoria. Their support went far beyond editing documents. They pushed me to think more critically, articulate my goals with clarity, and show up prepared at every stage of the process. One thing I would have liked to know before starting is that building a strong application takes time. Your first answer is rarely your best answer. It takes revision, reflection, and honest feedback to get there. GradQuo helped me stay patient through that process, and that made all the difference.
I decided to engage GradQuo while applying to engineering master’s and MBA programs. I signed up for both their Test Prep and consultation packages, and I can confidently say it was the best decision I made throughout the application process. Their support contributed significantly to my success.
I began this process completely unsure of what the application journey would entail and felt daunted by everything I needed to do to ensure my application stood out among hundreds of similar profiles. From our first meeting, Calvin was a grounding force, providing clear, actionable guidance and reassuring me that I could do it. He was always available to help, offering thoughtful feedback on my application strategy, essays, interview preparation, and even the next steps after admission.
A special shoutout to Nathan and Othandrea, who helped completely transform my GRE performance from the first mock exam (if you know, you know) to feeling confident when sitting the actual test. They consistently made themselves available to clarify topics and help me work through challenging questions.
I’m incredibly grateful to the entire GradQuo team for their support, guidance, and encouragement throughout this journey. Their expertise and dedication made a complex process feel manageable, and I would highly recommend them to anyone pursuing graduate studies.
My experience with GradQuo has been a transformative one and I’m so grateful to have received a grant to work with the team. I knew the grad school application process was going to be daunting and it was – I was riddled with nerves and impostor syndrome, often wondering to myself if this was something I had the capacity to pursue. The preparation and support I was met with, however, was incredible. My GRE tutors were immensely helpful as I grappled with the unfamiliar test structure. They made classes/office hours engaging and were available outside of sessions if I had questions.Though I knew I wanted to engage in policy/development studies centered on women, I spent a very long time trying to refine my research interests. Victoria asked me pointed clarifying questions that helped me interrogate my own ideas further, and her keen eye helped me develop cohesive and well-thought out essays that truly showcased my passions. Aside from being an immense support application-wise, she was also a source of encouragement and wisdom as I stepped into the world of being a newly minted young professional preparing for my academic future. I deeply appreciated how reassuring everyone on the GradQuo team was as I navigated this process – they were instrumental to my success and I am so thankful!
I had an excellent experience working with GradQuo throughout my graduate school application process. From my very first consultation with Calvin, I knew I was in good hands. The program was recommended to me by a close friend, and it absolutely lived up to the recommendation. They provided comprehensive support across every aspect of my application. This included detailed guidance on all my essays, my Statement of Purpose, diversity statements, and supplemental essays, helping me refine my ideas and present my story in a clear, compelling way. The feedback was thoughtful, structured, and always aimed at strengthening both content and strategy.
Beyond essays, they supported me with GRE preparation by providing the necessary study materials and direction, helped me build and polish my CV, and thoroughly prepared me for interviews. What stood out most was Calvin’s dedication and work ethic. He was genuinely invested in helping me submit the strongest applications possible and consistently pushed me to improve. I always felt supported, challenged, and encouraged throughout the process. I would absolutely recommend this service to anyone pursuing graduate studies. It was a structured, professional, and highly valuable experience. A big thank you to Calvin for all the hard work and commitment.
My journey with Gradquo was nothing short of exceptional. The program is structured in a way that truly sets you up for success. While my GRE preparation experience was solid and the tutors were knowledgeable and supportive, I’ll admit that balancing my final semester of undergrad, internships, and late-night GRE classes was intense. The instructors were patient, committed, and genuinely invested in my progress, which made all the difference.
My favorite part of the experience was the application preparation process. Gradquo became the backbone of my entire journey. Special thanks to Calvin, Allaiyah, and Alex — they went above and beyond. Allaiyah and Calvin worked tirelessly on my essays, providing endless revisions and thoughtful feedback until they were truly standout pieces. Alex strengthened my CV with professional insight and strategic positioning, making my profile far more competitive. Calvin, in particular, was a constant source of guidance from interview preparation to school negotiations and navigating tough decisions. No matter the time of day, he was always available, and I never once felt alone in the process. I would 1000% recommend Gradquo to anyone pursuing a master’s degree abroad. They provide far more than application support; they offer mentorship, reassurance, and a level of dedication that genuinely elevates your entire career trajectory. It was easily one of the best decisions I made for my future.
The GradQuo team, especially Tayhana and Calvin, have been incredibly supportive and responsive throughout my entire application journey. Tayhana helped me advance in the process, and she took the time to understand my aspirations and direct them in a clear and focused way. I always felt comfortable reaching out to the team whenever I had a question, and I felt supported throughout the entire experience. Specifically, they were super helpful in helping me to improve the resume as well as taking their time to walk through the process of the essay section since that was the area that was requiring the most attention at first.
Additionally, the group provided clear insights on the types of schools I needed to be applying for and how I positioned myself to ensure as many funding possibilities as possible would be available to me. I received assistance regarding fee waivers, which ended up saving me a lot of money on the application process. This program has genuinely made all of it feel attainable, even when I have no idea where to start when I began. I would like to extend a tremendous thank you to GradQuo as I genuinely do not know if I would have been able to tackle this journey as fully as I am able to without the help that I received. I have been accepted into Pace University, Stevens Institute of Technology, and Lehigh University to date, and I look forward to continued positive outcomes.
"I had a great experience with GradQuo. Calvin gave great insights into the application process. He also helped me with ensuring my SOP captured readers but also accurately shared my experiences and plans for the future. I am grateful for the help and valuable feedback I got from GradQuo. GradQuo made the application process so much easier by guiding me in the right direction"
My advising team consisted of Calvin and Shaquielle. Calvin assisted with finding graduate programmes that I would be a suitable candidate for, taking my suggestions as well. He kept me on track to completing applications on time by setting personal deadlines for individual application components so we would have everything ready for the school’s deadline. One great thing about Calvin was that he picked up on the method that worked best for me which was working by deadlines. He reviewed my application material once ready. Shaquielle was instrumental in helping me prepare for interviews, especially those for the biomedical engineering programs (and Johns Hopkins since he was successful there). GradQuo helped me present my best self for the application process, and tailor it to the individual schools and programs. The team heeded my concerns, and quelled my worries. They definitely motivated me as well.
Listen, sign up NOW! When I decided I was ready to start applications for grad school, I knew Calvin was the right person to go to, given his skillset and experience. I remember being so anxious about all the essays I needed to write and wanting them to be perfect. Calvin literally held my hand throughout the entire process and I know for a fact, I could not have done it without him. From my statement of purpose to the diversity statement, to all the internal scholarship essay questions, the GradQuo team truly delivered to make my dream of pursuing my masters in the US a reality.
From creating a list of schools based on my interests and circumstances to reviewing my essay drafts and keeping me accountable regarding deadlines. Calvin is VERY detail-oriented, ensures you stay on track, and sees you through the finish line with so much encouragement and support. Truly one of the best out there! I’m so grateful I had him on my team!
The consultants and GRE tutors at Grad Quo were beneficial and hands-on. Several meetings (even multiple impromptu Whatsapp messages) with Calvin helped me understand how the graduate school application process works and what needs to be done beyond just applying, for example, negotiating with schools to get increased funding. I had access to multiple GRE practice questions and exams, and templates for writing an excellent CV and a statement of purpose. These resources were essentially in my success in getting accepted into top master programs. One of the highlights of my Grad Quo experience is the classmates I met on this journey and how we supported each other from having weekend study sessions outside of class hours to encouraging each other through writing essays and applying to our top schools.
I know reviews rhetoric can seem cliche but I truly mean it when I say I would not be here today without the GradQuo service and Calvin Especially. I found GradQuo through an instagram Ad with a familiar face and immediately scheduled a consultation. I was at a cross roads where I wanted to take a next step but was not sure which direction or how to approach it. Calvin was extremely accommodating and patient, he made the world of a difference. We were able to narrow down my choice of study based on my wants & he helped to choose the schools. His expertise in how to approach the exams and the application process was an invaluable resource ! Working full time and balancing the exams and application process was really hard and I often times found my self struggling to stay motivated. Calvin went above and beyond the call of duty to hold me accountable. He was there for support through countless essay drafts and giving guidance based on each schools’ requirements. He was always one message or email away to answer a question or help me make a decision. All while just genuinely being inspiring at how well he plays the balancing act.
I recommend this service ! If you are even slightly confused, just need the extra help or a bit of guidance, it will make the world of a difference and is worth every single penny ! The classes are seamless, the instructors are warm and accommodating, the setting encourages participation and is “hands on”and the instructors are willing to do extra and accommodate you in your learning experience! Thank you so much to the GradQuo team for the great customer service and the genuine interest in our individual successes !
I decided to use GradQuo to help me through the process of law school applications since no one in my family has ever been, and I had no idea where to start. During our initial consultation he let me know that the best approach would be to focus on my LSAT before looking towards my application. When I finally finished the LSAT Calvin and Nur were crucial in getting me up to speed on law school applications. I didn’t even know where to start my personal statement or resume, and Nur guided me in the right direction to take my first steps. I eventually had an interview with a school, and did prep work with Calvin. Not only was I prepared to answer the questions I was asked, but Calvin seemed to have read the interviewer’s mind, and I was able to go above and beyond, landing me an acceptance and scholarship.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible assistance I received from Calvin and the entire team throughout my GRE preparation and college application journey. Their guidance and support were instrumental in transforming what felt like an overwhelming task into a manageable and successful endeavor. Before encountering Calvin, I was genuinely lost and uncertain about my chances of gaining admission to a master's program. However, after just one meeting, everything changed. Calvin provided me with a clear and direct path, instilling in me the confidence I needed to believe in my abilities. The GRE classes were exceptionally well-structured, catering perfectly to the exam's demands. The tutors were thorough, ensuring we covered all essential aspects for success. Their availability and understanding, always just a text away for additional help, added a valuable layer of support. Kunal was a part of GradQuo's GRE prep and Premium Consultation Program
The overall experience with Gradquo was positive. The designated schedule with clear goals and the ability to access previous examples made the process less daunting. My consultant provided detailed information surrounding each step of the application process as well as a willingness to help me throughout the experience no matter how small the task. Overall a good and supportive experience.
GradQuo has made my application process less intense and hectic than it could have possibly been. My consultants were Calvin and Shaquielle and they are miracle workers! I’m not always the best at representing my ideas and work, but Calvin was able to work with my rough drafts and turn them into golden essays. He also always kept me accountable when submitting my applications especially when school and procrastinating would have the best out of me.
Calvin was able to lay out a strategy plan for the applications that worked best for me and he was able to construct a list of schools that were well-suited to what I was looking for. When it came to choosing programs, Shaquielle presented the best programs that would help me accomplish my career goals. He ensured that once I completed my essays they all showed my knowledge and competence in the field. I truly am grateful for the help I received from this team!
My name is Ashley-Marie Auld. I am from Jamaica and I engaged GradQuo as I was interested in applying for a Masters of Laws. I chose to work with GradQuo as I was interested in the packages and services offered at a reasonable cost. My consultants, Phil and Calvin, provided guidance on the major parts of my application including tailoring my personal statement to demonstrate my strengths and passion for law and refining my CV. I also received feedback on scholarship essays. Feedback received was timely and constructive and PUSHED me to think outside the box. While the original plan centered around Canadian law schools, I was encouraged and adeptly guided through the exploration of alternative options in the US and the UK. This demonstrated their flexibility, adaptability and commitment to finding the best school based on my academic and career interests. I would highly recommend their services to anyone wishing to apply to graduate schools overseas.
My experience with GradQuo is one for the books. I really enjoyed my time and the experience was enjoyable. Calvin made the process smooth from choosing schools to writing SOPs to meeting deadlines. Alex made it fun to be relearning high school math. Jovante's English classes helped me a lot in not only GRE prep, but also expressing myself on a day to day basis.
GradQuo was truly one of the best decisions I made throughout my graduate school journey. The experience was intense (in the best way) because they kept me consistently on track from GRE preparation to application deadlines with a structured plan and high expectations. Their team was extremely thorough, super responsive, and always prepared. They provided more than sufficient GRE study material, drilled us weekly to keep us sharp, and made themselves highly available for questions through office hours and extra sessions. What I appreciated most was how flexible and supportive they were across different schedules and different skill levels. Nobody was left behind, and everyone was pushed to improve.
Beyond test prep, GradQuo supported me with everything including my SOP, CV, university selection, scholarship essays, recommendation preparation, and interview prep. I am especially grateful because they helped me build a powerful story and strong essays from basically nothing. I literally watched my CV and applications transform in real time, and the whole process became far more stress-free. Huge shoutout to Nathan, Othandrea, Alex, Jovante, and the man himself Calvin. They were incredibly knowledgeable, confident, patient, and genuinely invested in our success. Calvin in particular worked overtime and it showed. If you are considering GradQuo and wondering whether it is worth it or if the teaching will be generic, trust me, you do not need to worry. They go above and beyond and give you the structure, accountability, and confidence that most applicants truly need to win.
