For students planning to earn advanced degrees, the GRE is one of the world's most widely taken standardized tests. Traditionally, students have taken the GRE for most academic disciplines in the arts and sciences, however, the GRE is increasingly considered by graduate business schools and even law schools. Hundreds of business programs now allow their students to choose between the GMAT and the GRE, and more than 40 law schools (including Harvard, Georgetown, the University of Chicago, and Columbia) now offer the option of the GRE or the LSAT. For students who are still considering multiple programs and options for field of study, the flexibility of taking the GRE is appealing. Scoring a top-percentile score on the GRE now opens doors to a wide array of programs. While various programs are accepting GRE scores, students should assume that highly selective programs expect elite scores. According to the most recent available statistics, one must achieve a verbal score of at least 162 and a quantitative score of 166 or above to rank in the top 10% of all test-takers. Manhattan Review's GRE preparation help students earn elite test scores through the most comprehensive and rigorous instruction possible.

Carrie T. grew up on the east coast in northern Virginia, outside of Washington D.C. From an early age, she was surrounded by high achieving students with a variety of backgrounds. Carrie was able to attend the University for Virginia to earn her Bachelor's in history. After scoring in the 97th percentile on the GRE, she was accepted to a graduate program in history at Harvard, where she met her husband.

In 2017, Carrie and her husband relocated to Oakland. Carrie joined the team at Manhattan Review shortly after her relocation, and has been a favorite among students, noted for her enthusiasm and outgoing teaching style. "Carrie is actually able to make test prep enjoyable, something I did not expect," said a recent student. When she's not teaching, Carrie pursues various historical research projects.
