The most selective graduate programs—the ones that offer full funding and healthy stipends —regularly report admission rates around 5-10%. If departments are selecting fewer than a dozen candidates and deciding about fellowships with annual values in excess of US$70,000 you cannot afford to pursue every advantage possible.

Top Score has a long track record of advising and supporting people considering graduate school and can help you put your best foot forward. He has worked on the GRE in its various guises and looks forward to sharing the insights he has gained over the past thirteen years. We believe these insights will help ensure you get access to the tens of thousands of dollars of fellowship money critical to making graduate study in the arts and sciences affordable.

The GRE is increasingly accepted by business schools as an alternative to the GMAT.  Its greater emphasis on English language verbal skills and somewhat less challenging quantitative sections should make it generally a better option for Jamaicans than the GMAT. Indeed, the GMAT’s strong emphasis on concision and clean syntax runs contrary to the circumlocutions (GRE word) often rewarded in Jamaica’s schools.

The GRE’s primary challenge is the vocabulary it demands. It rewards those who have spent a lifetime organically expanding to the range of words at their disposal. If you’re not one of those persons, don’t worry! Top Score can get you in shape for that too.
