You. Your Outcomes. That's what matters.
Other consulting companies may talk about the hundreds of people they’ve helped (and we’ve helped hundreds), but to be frank, it doesn’t really matter what those people did.
It matters what you do.
It matters where you do your PhD.
It matters what you do with the incredibly valuable PhD offer that only 3% of the population gets to experience.
That’s our philosophy.
If you’re a high achiever who wants to land amazing PhD offers, this is the place to make it happen.
If you are someone who wants others to do the work for them, or who needs a guarantee, this isn’t the place for you. There are no guarantees in life. We guarantee we’ll help you grow your skills and become the most confident PhD in the room; these skills tend to lead to prestigious PhD offers as a byproduct, but we operate with ethics and would never guarantee admission to any specific program.

Darien
Education PhD
"When we had to start sending emails out, to set up calls, I think that was the best part of this program. You pushing us to go talk to people. Because once I started talking to professors and students, I got to pitch my idea over and over again, and found out which parts of my story people were drawn to."
Sarah
Computer Science PhD
"Those conversations with faculty directly informed my research proposals and statement of purpose. It was so fulfilling to cold email some genius and have them speak with you for an hour."
Ben
Economics PhD
"I'm comfortable making those cold calls, cold emails. But if you don't have the right script prepared, you get shut down pretty quickly."
Catherine
Microbiology PhD
"I didn't want to apply twice because it's laborious, stressful, and expensive. I wanted to know that I did everything I could to get myself where I wanted to be the first time."
Rediet
Anthropology PhD
"I'm Excited. I can finally see myself in that space."
Matthias
Political Science PhD
"What I used the most was the slack group. Because you see other people, other real people that are in this program that have similar fears and anxieties, some of them asking questions that you would want to ask."
Tiffany
Business PhD
"It's a great blueprint to have. The step by step is really well outlined. These people are really devoting a lot of time and care to every single person."
Taylor
Counseling Psychology PhD
"I decided to pursue a PhD again after not getting in the first round. Now, after the program, it's very different in that I have achieved a lifelong goal getting into my PhD, and before the program I was in a state of just feeling really scared about the whole thing."
K.
Biological Sciences PhD
"To be able to just pop it in the Slack and get your feedback was so helpful to avoid spending energy on unnecessary parts."
Gaby
Mechanical Engineering PhD
"Understanding the professors of interest and also contacting them in a way that they would be more likely to read your email and reply to you."
B.
Public Health PhD
"I had a sense I always wanted to have my PhD, but I didn't really know how. The program really systematized the process for me. I wanted a mentor that had time and resources to answer my questions along the way."
Kenna
Education PhD
"Contacting the advisor—that concept clicked within the first meeting. She was like, 'How do we make this happen?' I just would never have come up with that on my own."
Martha
Electrical & Computer Engineering PhD
"I would definitely just recommend doing it. It's nice to have someone to keep you on track. It helps keep the stress levels down. It's definitely worth the investment."
Tosin
Environmental Science PhD
"Every time I talk to family and friends, I always mention the Fearless Grad program. I tell them, yes, I spend this much because honestly, if I didn't have this, I wouldn't have gone this far."
Wendy
Biochemistry & Cell Biology PhD
"I tried once without knowing what to improve. Now I have my acceptance—everything is covered.
I wouldn't think twice. I wouldn't change it for anything else."
Debanjana
Neuroscience PhD
"Do you think I'm even good enough? Like, do you think I even stand a chance? Because I didn't have a lot of confidence in myself. And then you said that we can do it."
Archit
Biological Sciences PhD
"I went from applying to 10 places to 3 and having a better outcome."
Kien
Cognitive Neuroscience PhD
"Talking to PIs is something that we all fear. One of the reasons I was not successful the cycle before was because I did not talk to any PIs before I sent an application. Out of all nine schools I applied to, I talked to six PIs before my application was in. Now I see myself as: I am a scholar."
Megan
Polymer Science Engineering PhD
"Sending an important email causes me so much stress. The templates were most helpful. I would recommend 100%. I'm sad saying no to other programs but super excited about where I'm going."
Shamiana
Psychology PhD
"I was scared. I had heard from everyone that the process was complicated, overwhelming. I didn't want to apply three or four times. Having that framework really allowed me to get the work done at a good pace so I never felt completely overwhelmed."
Sydney
Microbiology PhD
"Really providing outlines and ways to communicate with professors that have made the process much more seamless than trying to figure it out all on my own."
Nikki
Rehabilitation Science PhD
"It's a stressful time, especially if you're doing a full time job. I was rushing. If people start early, their whole process is going to go so much smoother."
Stephanie
Clinical Psychology PhD
"I went from 9-12 applications to just 4 this cycle—and had better results with a more strategic approach."
Vikki
Ecology PhD
"I nearly didn't apply for the PhD I got. I nearly got freaked out about the criteria and the fact that everyone was going to be applying. I really nearly didn't apply. And can you imagine if I hadn't?"
Tanishka
Business & Marketing PhD
"Having this whole series of what steps should be taken saves a lot of time and gives you a sense of control—because if you're doing it on your own you won't have that control."
Carter
Linguistics PhD
"The very first email I sent last summer was to the professor there and he responded to me and had a great email. We ended up chatting once or twice and just developing the research proposal. That was just a great relationship and I ended up applying to it. I was very excited obviously when I got in."
Talia
Kinesiology & Sport Administration PhD
"You're not doing this alone. There are people who have gone through this process before. that guidance, was something I found very helpful."
Jonathan
Clinical Neuropsychology PhD
"Your availability was extremely helpful. I don't know how you have the time to be answering people's Slack messages all day long, but you do somehow. Everything from, 'Hey, I talked to this professor three weeks ago, I haven't heard back from them. Should I respond?' That kind of thing. That was really huge."
