For applicants

Find the right schools and the people to get you there

GuiDrs matches you to schools, programs, and professors based on your background, refines your application documents, gives advice, and connects you with grad-school mentors for your application journey.

School & professor matching

Get a shortlist of schools, programs, and professors scored to your background and research goals, with clear fit scores, funding signals, and bookmarks so you can compare options with confidence.

How it works

From profile to acceptance

Four stages that map to the demos above, so you always know what to do next.

1

Step 01

Build your profile

Share your background, research interests, target countries, and goals. GuiDrs uses agentic AI to understand your context, not just keywords, so matching stays specific to you.

2

Step 02

Get matched

See schools, programs, and professors that fit your profile, with transparent reasoning. Bookmark the ones worth a closer look and compare fit, funding, and Reach / Mid / Safe tiers.

3

Step 03

Refine your application

Upload drafts for feedback, build your Application Packet, and use the Chrome extension to fill portals faster. Keep documents and deadlines in one workspace.

4

Step 04

Get mentored

Reach out to mentors already in the programs or fields you care about. Get guidance through interviews, decisions, and the moments a ranked list alone cannot answer.

Mentorship

Guidance from people already on the path

Matching gets you a shortlist. Mentors help you interpret it: interview prep, program tradeoffs, and decisions rankings cannot answer alone.

FAQ

Common questions from applicants

  • What do I get as an applicant on GuiDrs?
    School and professor matching, document refinement, personalized application advice, mentor matching, an Application Packet, and a Chrome extension to fill school forms from that packet.
  • Does the AI write my SOP or CV for me?
    No. You write the draft. Agentic AI helps you refine what you have written with concrete feedback and references.
  • How is matching different from looking at rankings?
    Matching uses your background, research, and goals to surface programs and professors where you genuinely fit, with reasoning you can check, instead of a one-size-fits-all ranking list.
  • Can I talk to mentors before I apply?
    Yes. Browse and match with mentors already in grad school for guidance on applications, interviews, and decisions. You can explore mentors free before you upgrade.
  • How do I get started?
    Sign up to create your account, complete your profile, then run matching and open the demos above anytime you want a refresher on the product.
