ApplyChance was founded by two UBC Ph.D. students, Mahyad Aghigh and Arash Nikzad, in early 2019, and is a registered venture in the e@UBC incubator program. ApplyChance is developing a platform to connect professors and departments with the best-suited graduate school applicants. Professors and departments will also be able to perform an efficient and effective review and assessment of applicants’ profiles to identify the most promising applicants early in the admission process and provide them with incentives such as scholarships to join their programs or research groups. Our venture is supported by UBC mentors and Entrepreneurs-in-Residence and has recently been selected for the prestigious Phase 3 accelerator at e@UBC, where only 1% of all the ventures getting into it.
