Three tools, one goal: the right lab

Professor Fit

Describe your research interests and paste your CV. We pull faculty publishing on your topic in the last three years from OpenAlex, then score each one against what you can actually contribute.

Cold Email

A first draft that references one specific recent paper and connects it to one specific item on your CV — under 250 words, no generic flattery, with edit notes before you send.

SOP Review

Scores on research fit, evidence, narrative, specificity and clarity, plus paragraph-by-paragraph notes. We don't rewrite your statement; we show you what to fix.

One payment for the whole season

Our academic-integrity line. Opus Apply helps you find fit and gives you feedback. It does not write your statement for you, and every draft is a starting point you must edit and own. Supervisor data comes from open publication records — always confirm a professor's current position and whether they are recruiting.
