For Research-Based Master’s and PhD Applicants
After Applyindex’s AI calculates your a-index and evaluates your CV strength, it’s time to discover your chances (%) of securing fully funded positions, whether in research-based master’s programs or PhD positions. Once you’re logged in, head to the full funding chances (%) page to see the percentage likelihood of obtaining funded positions at universities ranked between 1 and 800 in our system. Don’t rush! These chances are valid if there are available program and research project positions in departments relevant to your field. Below is an illustration of the funding chances you’ll see after your a-index calculation:
Highest Chance of Funded PhD
If you want to maximize your chances of securing fully funded positions, simply use the ‘Sort By’ box and select the ‘Highest Chance of Funded PhD’ option. This feature allows you to prioritize and view the opportunities where you have the greatest likelihood of receiving full funding for your PhD. By focusing on these high-probability options, you can streamline your search and target the most promising opportunities first. For example, the screenshot below shows the funding chances for a PhD applicant. If you’re looking to apply to a Norwegian university in biology, NMBU could be a good option, as they offer a 75-79% chance of securing a fully-funded PhD.
A higher a-index value indicates a greater likelihood of securing fully-funded master’s and PhD positions. (i) We strongly recommend research-based master’s and PhD applicants focus on universities where our AI predicts a chance of at least 60% for securing fully funded 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.
