The PhD Assessment
See how competitive you are for top PhD programs before you apply.
Top PhD programs admit a handful of students per year. The strongest applicants find their weak spots early and fix them before deadlines. This free assessment takes 3 minutes and shows you where you stand today and how you compare to other applicants.
Why take it now?
PhD application deadlines are typically in December. Everything that makes you competitive takes months to build: research experience, relationships with faculty, and a clear story about your goals. When you know your gaps in advance, you have time to close them. FearlessGrad clients have secured more than $27M in funding, and 3 out of 4 end their cycle with at least one fully funded offer.
Instead of wasting more time scrolling PhD student profiles or program websites, take this quiz and finally figure out where you stand.
Questions about the assessment.
How competitive do I need to be for a funded PhD?
Funded PhD programs admit a small number of students each year. In fields like clinical psychology, admission rates sit near 5%. One professor with one opening usually makes the call. Applicants who know their weak spots early and fix them before deadlines compete in a much smaller pool. The assessment shows you where you stand so you know what to fix first.
