The Admission Roadmap

Securing a funded graduate position is not a lottery. It's a highly structured pipeline. Here is exactly how to use GradPlanner to execute it.

01

Choose Your Countries

Stop applying randomly. Start by filtering 20 top destinations based on what actually matters for a Bangladeshi passport: PR pathways, fully-funded availability, and visa rejection rates.

  • Visa difficulty ratings
  • PR timeline estimates
  • Cost of living comparison
02

Shortlist Universities

Search through 3,000+ universities. View all three major rankings (QS, THE, ARWU) side-by-side. Categorize them into Dream, Match, and Safety based on your profile.

  • Triple-ranking view
  • Target categorization
03

Contact Professors (The Game Changer)

For PhDs and research MScs, your application lives or dies by professor outreach. Track who you've emailed, log their responses, and get reminders when it's time to follow up.

  • Research fit scoring
  • Follow-up reminders
04

Manage Application Pipeline

Once you have professor alignment or a target program, move it to your application pipeline. Track SOP drafts, LOR requests, IELTS scores, and absolute deadlines in a kanban board.
