Our Mission
Our Mission
We connect current Pakistani students and graduates who wish to apply to graduate schools abroad with mentors who were once in a similar situation. The mentors at GradApp Lab work closely with the mentees to polish their application material to set them up for success.
About the Program
About the Program
The program is roughly 4 months long, during which the mentor guides the mentee through the application process and helps refine the application material such as the CV, Statment of Purpose (SOP), and Personal Statement. The whole process is iterative and requires the mentee to be proactive and reach out to the mentor in advance. Mentees must be mindful that all mentors are either graduate students or working professionals in different time zones.
