Program really scores with grad student

Lin Lei, 24, a graduate student in civil engineering at Beijing Jiaotong University, said his language skills really clicked once he enrolled in a course offered by the New Oriental Education and Technology Group.

The class "was an unforgettable part" of Lin's college life, he said.

Lin was preparing for the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) in late 2008 when he registered for a 20-day GRE training course through New Oriental School. Six months later, he notched a combined score of 1,300 plus 4 points on the GRE in June 2009.
