This was the most amazing experience I ever in doing research with my mentor, honestly the support, teaching and corrections made me do this research on a critical topic like lung cancer ablation, all thanks to my mentor and polygence for their flexibility and willingness to support wholeheartedly.

I got a lot of help, guidance and support to do the research and redaction of my paper. My mentor was really helpful, giving explanations, suggestions, examples and advice during the whole process and even on what to do once the redaction process was done.

The program was great for a first-time research project, and my mentor consistently gave me helpful feedback to write and improve my research paper. I initially had a very niche idea about my project, which I soon found out would be difficult to achieve. Luckily, my mentor guided me along the way to find related topics that have more accessible resources yet still grabbed my attention. Overall, I am greatly satisfied with my first research project, and I probably couldn't have achieved this quality without the mentor program.

My experience was great because my mentor, Nathanial, provided exceptional guidance throughout my project. He helped me develop and refine my essay, offered insightful feedback, and encouraged me to think more critically about my ideas. I felt supported at every step, and the mentorship gave me confidence in my writing and my project overall.
Polygence is doing an excellent job matching students with mentors who truly care about their growth. The program provides a clear structure, helpful resources, and a supportive environment that makes it easy to stay motivated. Communication and scheduling were smooth, and the overall experience felt personalized and thoughtful.

I really like how polygence tried to help me through my research journey by consistently reminding and sharing some templates for advice.

Overall the research experience was great with my mentor. However, the price may be a little too high.

All these reviews are fake. I was a real customer who had an actual experience with them, and it was awful. Do not join or hire the Polygence Research Program.

Professional and timely communication from the Polygence staff. Excellent mentorship and internship. My 17 year old son had a very positive experience, and learned about Genetic Engineering his junior year which prepares him well for what he wants to study in college. Worth the cost.

Polygence gave me an opportunity to work in a mentor-student project. It also provided an efficient way to communicate on the platform, and it did a wonderful job with matching. Every time Polygence emailed me, telling me that they would do something (whether it was to fix an error or reminding me about my meetings) they did it very fast and efficiently. The initial meeting I had with the admissions director was very helpful, and he was super friendly! My mentor was extremely helpful, and my showcasing specialist is very thoughtful! The staff is super knowledgeable. This is an awesome platform, and I’m looking forward to another project!

Everything was exceptional! Team Polygence offers great support, reaching out and when responding to questions. The mentors are incredible as well. Overall, an awesome experience.
My mentor was everything I wished for and more, helping me navigate writing my first systematic review paper, and giving me advice. The writing feedback was very helpful and thorough.
I also presented at the Symposium of Rising Scholars, which Polygence holds and the opportunity and experience were phenomenal. I loved everything and would definitely recommend to the next person.

My mentor was really good. I enjoyed working with him. He was always friendly, supportive, and knowledgeable. The Polygence platform was also very helpful in keeping track of the project progress.
The only issue was the first round of writing feedback -- Polygence didn't tell me what format to use for my paper when submitting it for writing feedback. So, I submitted a PDF, and the reviewer seemed upset by this (going by her messages/comments to me). I had to go back, upgrade to a paid Overleaf account, and then give my reviewer access to my Overleaf document. This miscommunication could have been avoided if Polygence had given me more upfront details about the writing feedback format, etc. Even better would have been to have the format somehow integrated into the platform.

The mentor was excellent -- friendly, supportive, knowledgeable. The Polygence platform was also very good at keeping track of sessions and managing conversations with the mentor. The post-session feedback form was especially helpful in keeping track of feedback for resume-writing and recommendation letters.

mentor was a great fit! the only strange bit of the experience was the UC Irvine class which was a bit of a black box- not much feedback or guidance on anything.

Reply from Polygence
My son found the experience very rewarding and enjoyable. He found his passion through this paper and he enjoyed doing the research with his mentor
