Early season outcomes from PhD Monitor users in the 2025–2026 application season.
EARLY SEASON STATS
"Found my TU Delft offer through PhD Monitor. Applied 3 days before deadline after Profi flagged it as a 91. Accepted for the Neural Geometry lab under Prof. van Doorn. The cover letter AI saved me a full weekend."
"I was checking 6 different sites every morning. Now I check one feed, three times a week. Got into Computer Vision group at ETH. Profi ranked it 88 — I would have missed it otherwise."
"The cover letter draft saved me 4 hours. I tweaked one paragraph and submitted. Got an interview invite within 48 hours."
"The deadline alert SMS saved me. I had forgotten about a position I saved. Got the ping 7 days before close, applied in 2 hours."
"I applied to 12 positions in 6 weeks. Normally that would take months of research. The match scores told me where to focus — didn't waste time on weak fits."
"Persian translation of position descriptions was a game changer. I could share them with my family and supervisor who don't read English well."
