Program Requirements & Eligibility Verification Plugin (for University Career Office Platforms)

A lightweight embed-able widget that university career offices install on their websites. Students input their background (GPA, test scores, degree type, citizenship, work experience); the plugin instantly returns a filterable list of compatible graduate programs (from a curated database of 200+ programs across 50 institutions), color-coded by eligibility likelihood (green=likely admit, yellow=borderline, red=reach/unlikely). Each program card shows: exact requirements, credential gaps, average accepted profile, and a direct link to apply or contact the program coordinator. Career offices pay an annual subscription; students use it free.

Value Proposition

Dramatically reduces incoming advising load by automating the first-pass eligibility screening. Students self-serve and get instant, institution-specific answers instead of booking 30-minute appointments. Career offices get usage analytics showing which programs their students are targeting, enabling them to build partnerships and negotiate bulk admissions agreements. Beats generic online tools (e.g., MastersPortal) because it's embedded in the university's own platform and uses the institution's specific advising standards.

Target Audience

University career offices and graduate admissions offices at mid-size and large universities (500+ graduating seniors per year). Secondary: international student advising centers and education consultancies.

Key Features

  • Instant eligibility matching based on student background input (GPA, GMAT/GRE, TOEFL, degree type, work experience)
  • Color-coded results: likely admit / borderline / reach
  • Program cards showing: exact requirements, average accepted profile, credential gaps, application deadlines
  • And more, with full implementation detail...

Original Problem

Graduate students struggle to navigate complex international program requirements and eligibility criteria

Prospective graduate students face significant uncertainty when evaluating eligibility for specialized programs (joint-degrees, international partnerships) and when they have non-traditional backgrounds (athletes, borderline academics). They lack clear, consolidated guidance on program requirements, credential evaluation, and realistic pathways, forcing them to spend weeks researching fragmented information across multiple institutions and countries.
