The curriculum

Ten services. One application.

Every document, every email, every decision a strong PhD application needs — organized like a course catalog, so you always know what's next.

ADM 101

University Shortlisting

We take your GPA, degree, research interests, publications, work experience, and test scores, then sort your preferred countries into a shortlist you can actually work with.

  • Dream · Target · Safe tiers
  • Funding opportunities
  • Application deadlines
ADM 102 Flagship

Professor Matching

The single biggest bottleneck in a PhD application. We match you to professors by research interest, recent publications, funding availability, lab size, and genuine research fit.

  • 30–50 professor recommendations
  • Verified contact details
  • Plain-language research summaries
ADM 103

Email to Professors

Cold emails and follow-ups that actually get replies — subject lines, attachments, and tone all calibrated to the professor and the lab.

  • Custom-drafted emails
  • Review of your existing drafts
  • AI-assisted first drafts
ADM 104

Statement of Purpose

From a light edit to a ground-up rewrite. Pick the depth of help that matches where your draft already is.

  • Basic & advanced review
  • Complete rewrite
  • AI review + unlimited revisions
ADM 105

Research Statement

Built for research-intensive programs that expect a real proposal of intent, not a personal essay.

  • Structure & argument
  • Line-edit review
  • Formatting to program norms
ADM 106

Personal Statement

Not your SOP. This is about story — why you, why research, why now — reviewed for motivation and goals, not just grammar.

  • Narrative & voice
  • Motivation clarity
  • Goal alignment
ADM 107

CV / Resume

An academic CV is judged differently from a job resume. We shape publications, research, skills, and projects so committees find what they're looking for fast.

  • Publications & research framing
  • Skills & project structure
  • ATS-safe formatting
ADM 108

LOR Guidance

Recommendation letters can make or break an application. We help you ask well, and give your recommenders the material to write strong letters fast.

  • How & when to ask
  • Supporting brag-sheets
  • Document organization
ADM 109

Interview Preparation

Mock interviews that mirror what admissions committees and PIs actually ask — including the ones you won't see coming.

  • "Why this lab / university"
  • Research presentation practice
  • Technical Q&A drills
ADM 110

Research Proposal

Essential for Europe, Australia, and many funded positions where a formal proposal decides funding, not just admission.

  • Program-specific structure
  • Feasibility & framing
  • Funding-body formatting

    Mock interviews and research presentations until you walk in ready.

From the file room

What the shortlist looked like for them

I had a research interest and a spreadsheet of forty random universities. What I actually needed was the professor list — that's what turned into three interviews.
S. RaoAdmitted · ME Robotics, TU Munich
The research proposal review caught a scope problem I hadn't noticed. Reviewers in Europe actually read those closely.
A. FernandesAdmitted · PhD Materials Science, KU Leuven
Mock interviews were harder than the real one. That's exactly what I wanted going in.
P. NairAdmitted · PhD Computer Vision, U Toronto
