Know what each university wants — and what to add first.
Add your target programs and your portfolio, SOP, grades and scores. PortPath researches each program's real admission emphasis — with sources — then shows your strengths, your gaps, and the highest-impact things to do next.
See PortPath in action
One real session: add a target, get cited criteria, see your gaps — and a plan ranked by impact.
Three steps to a clear plan
Add your targets
List the programs you're aiming for and rank them by preference.
We research the criteria
PortPath finds each program's real admission emphasis across four dimensions — with cited, official sources.
See what to add first
Get a readiness score, your strengths and gaps, and a to-do list ranked by impact.
Only the four things that matter
We score what you can actually control and submit — weighted by how much each program emphasizes it.
Portfolio
Your projects and work, matched to what the program values.
Statement of Purpose
How clearly your motivation and direction come through.
Academics & GPA
Your transcript strength against the program's bar.
Test scores
The English and standardized tests the program asks for.
Every criterion traced to a real source
We don't invent requirements. Each one links to an official source, carries a confidence level, and reminds you to verify — because your future is too important for guesswork.
A sustained, research-relevant project
Biomedical programs expect depth — a real project that shows hands-on engineering, not a list of short activities.
Why not just ask an AI?
You could ask a chatbot what a program wants. Here's what it can't do that PortPath does.
- Sources you can checkGuesses from memory — and can invent requirements that were never there.
- Kept currentFrozen at its training cutoff; no idea if a rule just changed.
- Your whole list at onceAnswers one question at a time and forgets the rest of your list.
- Real applicant benchmarksNo idea how you compare to anyone else.
- Honest about the limitsWill happily guess your odds of getting in.
- Sources you can checkEvery criterion cited to official pages, with a confidence score.
- Kept currentRe-checks the sources on a schedule and flags when they move.
- Your whole list at onceRanks what to add first across every target program, by impact.
- Real applicant benchmarksShows how your profile stacks up against others targeting the same program.
- Honest about the limitsNever predicts admission chances — a coverage estimate only.
PortPath uses AI too — but wraps it in cited sources, ongoing verification, and your real data. That's the part a chatbot can't copy.
Honest guidance you can act on
Source-cited, never made up
Every criterion is backed by a real source. Thin sources lower the confidence instead of inventing facts.
Tuned to each university
We detect what each specific program emphasizes — not a one-size-fits-all checklist.
Prioritized by impact
Your to-do list is ranked so you spend effort where it moves the needle most.

Honest answers
Will you tell me my chances of getting in?
No — on purpose. PortPath never predicts admission odds. We show how well your profile covers what each program actually emphasizes, and what to improve. No false hope, no scare tactics.
How is this different from Googling the requirements?
We research each specific program's emphasis across four dimensions, cite the sources, then rank your gaps by impact across all your targets — so you know what to do first, not just a generic checklist.
Can I trust the criteria?
Every criterion is backed by a real source you can open. When sources are thin we lower the confidence instead of inventing facts — and we always ask you to verify with the official page.
Is my data private?
Yes. Your profile and uploaded files are processed server-side only and never sold. Export or permanently delete everything anytime — PDPA-ready.
What does it cost?
Free to start: research up to 3 target programs and see your gaps. Premium is $3/month for unlimited targets and the prioritized board across everything. Cancel anytime.
Which universities are covered?
Any program, anywhere. Add a target and PortPath researches it on demand — bachelor's or master's, in any country.
