GRE Mentor FAQ

What do mentors do? What are their responsibilities?


Mentors who volunteer are responsible for helping mentees reach their GRE goals in a number of ways, including sharing experiences with the test, as well as the frameworks that brought success.   


Note that this is primarily a mentoring and supporting role, with a limited tutoring role. They are not expected to be able to describe the perfect method for answering any GRE question at any time. Rather, they are expected to support their mentee in whatever way possible - sometimes through general assistance, while other times by walking them through the strategies to answering a specific question.    




Who is “qualified” to be a mentor?


Our qualifications for mentorship are roughly as follows:

  1. Mentors must have studied for and taken the GRE within the last three years.  
  2. While there is no minimum score needed to become a mentor, most of our mentors’ average scores are 320+.  
  3. The most important things a mentor must be able to provide are general guidance, support, and knowledge of resources.  
  4. Individuals with a diverse set of experiences, strengths, and talents, and a particular dedication to helping others. Everyone that is interested in volunteering as a mentor will be evaluated individually to determine their fit with our program.


Please note that these qualifications are not set in stone, and we encourage anyone who is interested to apply using the link above.




How do I become a mentor?


After clicking the "become a mentor" button above, we will ask you to complete a survey that will help us to determine your fit as a mentor. 


Following this, one of our team members will reach out to you in order to get to know you a bit better, and share further details about the role and expectations that come with it.




Why should you be a mentor?


There are plenty of reasons! Here's a few:

  1. Our organization provides a great opportunity for students to give back to the global business community. Many of our mentors are from great business schools around the world, such as Harvard, Cambridge, and many others. Working with us will give our mentor volunteers a chance to network with like-minded students from prestigious schools.
  2. In addition to building their network, mentors get the opportunity to build relationships with mentees; a lot of our mentees are from India, the U.S., Canada, and other parts of the world. This creates a wonderful opportunity for the volunteers to gain an understanding of different cultures and the way other potential business-school students from these regions think.
  3. Mentors gain extracurricular experience for their resume and future applications to business schools or jobs. The Grad Mentors leadership team is also happy to provide references to quality mentors upon request.
  4. Being a mentor is also something that is fairly flexible. The nature of the relationship is dependent on each party’s schedule and the needs of the mentee. Typically, mentors spend ~30 minutes once every couple of weeks for one mentee.
