GradApp is your graduate school advisor. Upload your CV, and GradApp reads the whole thing, not just keywords, then matches you with professors whose research interests genuinely overlap with your work. Every match shows the proof: a line from your CV next to a real paper of theirs, so you know exactly why it's a fit. WHY GRADAPP โ€ข Research interest matching: We match faculty by what they actually publish and are working on at their labs, then explain each match with evidence. No more guessing who to email. โ€ข Requirements, country by country: GPA, tests, and deadlines for every school, clearly laid out for the US, UK, Canada, Europe, and beyond. โ€ข Scholarships you can actually apply for: Funding matched to your profile, with eligibility and how to apply. โ€ข One-tap outreach: Draft a thoughtful email to a professor, grounded in their real papers โ€” ready to personalize and send. โ€ข Track everything (application management): Every application, deadline, and task in one place, so nothing slips. โ€ข CV tools: Polish your CV and export a clean PDF. โ€ข Built-in advisor: Ask questions and get guidance at any step. NEW TO ALL THIS? You don't need a finished CV or a chosen country to begin. GradApp helps you figure out where to apply, what you need, and who to reach, at your pace. HOW IT WORKS 1. Upload your CV. 2. Pick where you want to apply. 3. Get your matched professors, ranked, with the evidence behind each one. 4. Save your shortlist, draft outreach, and track every deadline through to submission, and manage all your applications on GradApp. GradApp is for anyone applying to a master's or PhD who wants a clearer, faster, more honest path to the right program, wherever in the world they're headed.
