Applyindex proudly introduces a novel concept redefining how aspiring PhD candidates (not professional doctoral candidates) evaluate their CV strength and estimate their chances of securing funded positions. Our AI-calculated a-index measures academic potential on a scale of 50 to 100. A higher a-index value indicates a greater likelihood of securing fully funded PhD positions. (i) We strongly recommend that PhD applicants focus on universities where our AI predicts a chance of at least 60% for securing fully funded PhD positions. (ii) While an a-index below 50 doesn’t guarantee rejection, it suggests less than a 30% chance of obtaining fully funded positions at lower-ranked universities.
