The auto-schedule toggle bug was particularly gnarly: state persisted correctly in memory but reset on page refresh due to localStorage sync timing. Fixed by implementing proper hydration checks and moving the toggle state initialization to useEffect with dependency tracking.
That’s exactly why GRADBRO exists: an data driven AI-powered shortlist engine that turns chaos into a clear, defensible plan.

When people start their master’s journey, they’re surrounded by Counsellors with glossy brochures, “top 20” lists, and big promises—but zero base data—surrounded them. They were told where to apply, what their “safe” and “ambitious” choices were.
