Meet the Coach Behind 1,000+ Admissions
My name is Dr. Justin Grimes, and I've helped over 1,000 people get into graduate school, with a 91% acceptance rate.
I have firsthand experience with graduate school as both a student and an admissions employee. I earned my master's online and my PhD at a Top 5 Research 1 institution, both fully funded. I understand the application process and what it takes to succeed while managing life's demands. You can't simply Google or use AI to secure admissions and funding.
Many talented individuals want to pursue a graduate degree but lack guidance on choosing the right program, funding it, or effectively presenting their story to committees. I created Apply to Graduate School to help you find, fund, and start a program that aligns with your career and life goals.
