How CVdoctor works
Four steps from a programme you like to an application you can submit on time. Every requirement links to the university's official page.
How the assessment works
- 1
Choose a target programme
Search by country, university, level and subject, and pick the programme you want to assess.
- 2
Add your information
Grades, language and other tests, your academic background, and your CV if you have one.
- 3
Compare with official requirements
Each published requirement is checked against your information, with its source and check date.
- 4
Get your report and next steps
See your readiness, the gaps found and improvement suggestions you can act on.
Every report ends with improvement suggestions
Beyond the comparison, the report shows what to improve in each of the six dimensions, ordered by the estimated effect of each change.

Six dimensions, one clear picture
Every report scores you on the same six dimensions, against the published requirements of the programme you choose. Here is what each one measures, how it is scored and how much it counts.
Show how each dimension is scored and weighted
| Dimension | How it's scored | Undergraduate | Master's / PhD |
|---|---|---|---|
| Academic performanceYour grades or GPA against the programme's minimum and typical range, converted fairly from Chinese marks | Rules: official requirements | 35% | 30% |
| Prerequisites and subject fitRequired subjects or degree background, such as A-level Mathematics or a quantitative degree | Rules: official requirements | 15% | 15% |
| Language and testsIELTS, TOEFL and other accepted tests, plus GRE, GMAT or SAT where required | Rules: official requirements | 15% | 10% |
| ExperienceInternships, research and work, judged for relevance to the programme | AI rubric: cites your CV | 10% | 25% |
| Activities and achievementsLeadership, competitions, awards and projects outside class | AI rubric: cites your CV | 15% | 10% |
| CV qualityHow clearly your CV presents your strengths: structure, evidence and results | AI rubric: cites your CV | 10% | 10% |
Weights shown are the ones reports use today. Dimensions a programme publishes nothing for show "No official information": they are not scored and their weight is shared out fairly. Dimensions that need your CV show "Awaiting your info" until you add one, and are never counted as assessed. A score shows where you stand; it never promises admission.
