Thank you so much, Potla! We’re really glad you had a great experience 😊
My kid has an amazing time with Polygence while doing research paper. They explained everything and did zoom meetings with us and after listening my kid’s notes they match with the perfect mentor.

Thank you so much for your kind feedback! We’re so glad to hear your student had a great experience with Polygence. Matching students with the right mentor is something we care deeply about!
Polygence is very organized. The only issue for me was my first mentor left. My second mentor was very helpful, however.

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.

Thank you for such a thoughtful feedback, Ashwajit. It means a lot to hear how much support and guidance made a difference in your research journey!
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.

Thank you for sharing such wonderful feedback, Sal! We’re so glad you enjoyed your project and found the research experience meaningful!
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.

Thank you so much for your feedback, Hailey. We’re really glad to hear how your mentor helped you shape your project and grow your ideas 💫
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.

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

Horrible !
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.
Reply from Polygence2025-10-26
We take the authenticity of our reviews and the integrity of this platform very seriously. This individual has not been a Polygence customer, and their repeated posts are not based on a genuine experience with our program. We’ve reported this to TrustPilot’s Content Integrity Team for review.
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.

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad to hear your son had a positive journey with Polygence and found the mentorship valuable in preparing for his future studies.
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!

Thank you so much for your feedback, Tamara. We’re so happy to hear that you felt supported throughout your project and had such a great experience with Polygence :)
Polygence is an excellent platform for projects. It matches you with a responsible, engaged, and knowledgeable mentor, and provides a clear step-by-step process to guide students with no research experience.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We appreciate your feedback and are happy to hear the mentorship and guidance were valuable to you.
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.

Thank you so much, Maya, for your kind words. We truly appreciate the effort and insight you brought to your presentation at the Symposium of Rising Scholars and are glad you had a great experience with your mentor and our team!
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.
