Your management platform forgraduate school
Available now
Upload your CV. GradApp reads it like a faculty mentor — not a keyword search — and matches you to professors whose recent papers overlap your research threads. Every recommendation shows evidence on both sides: your CV + research interest next to the professor's research / lab-work.
Finding the right
professor takes
weeks.
Applicants spend days combing through hundreds of university sites, opening faculty pages one by one, reading recent papers, and trying to judge whether a lab's research actually aligns with theirs. Most of that work never pays off.
GradApp shortcuts it. Upload your CV, add a few details about the program you're targeting, and we match you to professors, faculties, and universities whose research genuinely aligns with what you've done and where you're headed.
Three things that make the match actually match.
Deep CV analysis
Reads your whole CV — not keywords — and returns coherent research threads, methodological strengths, and honest gaps. Every claim is grounded in a line you actually wrote.
Grounded match explanations
For each professor, we explain the fit with evidence from BOTH sides: a quote from your CV next to a real paper of theirs. When a match is a stretch, we say so.
Outreach that cites a real paper
Every draft opens with a specific finding from one of the professor's papers — not a vague compliment. GradApp reads their recent papers and extracts a quotable result.
Four steps. Two evenings.
From an unstyled PDF to a sent email a tenured professor will actually read — without you spending another weekend on a faculty page.
