GrantMe Opiniões 1892

At the time of writing, I've only had a single meeting, so it's difficult to accurately judge the program. However, said meeting went well. It was a friendly environment, sufficiently informative, and from what I can tell, the student website provides a rich collection of resources. I'm excited to continue working with GrantMe and see just how beneficial it may be.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!! ITS AN UNNECESSARY SCAM

First of all, they sell your information. I got an inbox full of emails from Liberty university and other private (for profit) universities that I have NEVER signed up for or even heard of. And the worst part is that it clogs up your inbox (many of these emails dont go into spam). I have never signed up for "long island university" but it says that I am subscribed to them. So they sell your information too, to private (money hungry) universities.

I have gotten into ALL of my top schools WITHOUT THIS COMPANY, who tries to pressure and make things seem suuuper hard and like ur missing out on so much without them.

Like for example, they will always try to talk down on you and tell you that your accomplishments, extracurriculars etc are NOT ENOUGH, BUT THATS NOT TRUE.

They are also very NOT TRANSPARENT about how university applications are like. For example, they want to make you pay for an essay editing service, and have this whole "roadmap" of college application essays to write.

BUT THATS NOT NECESSARY!! for example, UofT DOES NOT reveal essay questions beforehand. And so you CANNOT just write an essay before and submit it. You must do it LIVE.

Now let's say ur applying to another Canadian school like UBC (which i also got into). Once you start your applications, you can see the essay questions. Just ask an english teacher to help edit and review your essay. No need to pay for overpriced essay editing services or stressing yourself out with their schedule of essay writing.

The academic advisor at the company kept telling me that my extracurriculars were not enough and talked abt how "ohh you should've started that club in GR 9" and they even have this "prestige" list of best extracurriculars, with being a participant on the lowest end of the scale, which is not true. This is something the COMPANY ITSELF MADE UP!!! Universities don't care! heck, I've heard of ppl with no extracurriculars getting into good universities bc they had a great essay abt working at McDonald's and the impact they made on ppl and the community.

Another thing is, if you have great grades, they'll try to talk you down. "oh, good grades aren't enough these days!!" Dude, you'll be fine, stop stressing and DONT PAY 4000-5000$ for this service! ITS NOT WORTH IT. and if you have good grades and even a couple of MEANINGFUL extracurriculars, you're basically guaranteed to get into a good Canadian school. I come from a well off family so I didnt apply for any scholarships, but still got a 10k entrance scholarship to UofT bc of grades. No need to pay for Grantme or listen to them condescend you abt how you must funnel more money into their service. And im lazy and didnt apply for any other scholarships, but there are plenty of free resources like scholarshipscanada that are even more indepth and better maintained.

Heres the thing: This company has many good reviews bc the ppl paying for them are most likely already smart and accomplished. (I mean, who else except clueless, rich parents can shell out 4k for this useless crap?) These students don't need this service and still could've gotten in.

But bc they paid for it and got a bunch of unecessary services, it seems like it's Grantme that got them in.

It's not. Save your money.

GrantMe is a scam. Don't waste your money. Unfortunately We learned the lesson the hard way. Their sales presentation is slick! But once you pay, the service they deliver is not on par with the cost. There's no follow through, they don't take into consideration your personal situation or goals. They essentially provide you a list of potential scholarships that you can apply for, that's it. All of this can be found on your own with about 5 minutes of google searching.

What's worse is that their support after you've signed up is non existant. Have a question/concern that you want addressed? Good luck... no one will reply or get back to you.

Save your money, and don't fall for their slick presentations and false advertising!

I got clear directions related to extracurriculars. I also got navigation through the website, along with tasks which I think will greatly help me.

Great introduction,
my instructor was very good at explaining and guiding me throughout the platform to enable me to unlock my full potential. She also suggested me to do several things such as prepare for SAT, focus on extracurriculars, and reading university requirments

I have been using the GrantMe service for almost few months now, the team was good in the initial few days but after that they take lot of time in responding with what needs to be done for the scholarships and there is no proper guidance.

I missed 2 of the scholarship since I was waiting on my coach to reply with the correction. Unfortunately the money that I had saved for my tution fees was all given to GrantMe to help me get scholarship and now I am left with a service which is of no use to me

The resources that are given are extremely helpful! I would have been lost in many areas without it.

I found my first 1 to 1 very insightful and helpful and so far GrantMe has made a great first impression on me!

I purchased the service about one month ago and nothing happened yet

No instructions, no assignments, no communication

My feeling is that i paid for nothing.

So far the grantme support program his been very helpful in streamlining the process for me. It enables me to do the actual necessary work, while they simplify the information for me.

Sabine was great, but we keep meeting with different Account Managers for introductory sessions, where we keep explaining our situation.

The person who helped me did a great job of guiding through the program

Super communicative, makes applying to university feel a lot less daunting!

Great help to keep track with progress and ensure that progress continues to be made to meet deadlines and ease stress about applications

They gave great advice on things to do. Lots of good ideas about initiative.

I'd say I had a great experience. I liked how straightforward the tasks and understandable the tasks were and

Quite helpful so far, especially the layout of the website, as it structures your next steps in a simple way.

Great first meeting. they helped me figure out were to go and she was very freindly.
