If you're like most people, the path to grad school is a long, curved road. Then one day you'll see or hear something for the first time and realize that is what you've been looking for all along.
That certainly happened to me. In a totally chance conversation over coffee I received a bit of insight from an expert who listened to my story. He suggested the field I eventually took for my degree. I'll never forget that cup of coffee because it completely changed my life.
My vision for Gradschoolmatch is a place for people to make their grad school decisions. For you to see the possibilities, including some that you hadn't considered. To get guidance from people running the graduate programs who are the real experts. To provide you the tools and insights you'll need to carefully evaluate your options. And to understand how and why graduate school will change your life.
More than anything, we want to help you make your best decision. That's our only mission. That's all we do.
