I was fortunate to work with Barry Rothman on my applications that required Personal History and Statement of Purpose essays. His wealth of experience in academia made this a much more tailored experience and he was able to give concrete advice on the best approach for each school. His general questionnaire teased out long forgotten but pertinent essay background information and we had some very amusing conversations. Barry is not just skilled at applications; he is a genuinely nice person and a great mentor. We had a eureka moment while attempting to collaborate by sending drafts back and forth when we realized that our writing idiosyncrasies and “OCD's” clashed. Barry was quick to suggest zoom meetings with joint corrections of the essays in real time. This greatly increased the effectiveness of each session and made the experience actually enjoyable. It is without hesitation that I recommend Barry to any prospective applicant. Have fun and good luck!

I wanted to let you know that I finally heard back from the Marshall school of Business and I was admitted for spring of 2024! I am super excited! I want to thank you again for all of your help and guidance that made the college-application and decision process so much easier. I wish you all the best and will continue to update you on my USC journey!

It has been an absolute pleasure working with Kelly Wilson. She helped me submit the best version of myself and got a full scholarship with a stipend on a top 20 school. Given my profile and stats I wouldn’t have been able to do it without her.

After the initial chat I felt like I was working with someone with deep knowledge of the industry and extensive experience within the admissions committee. I was insecure about my profile but she showed me that was not the case.

Even though Kelly and I had only 3 weeks to work on all my applications with her help, responsiveness and willingness to go the extra mile I was able to apply to all the schools I had my sights on.

I am happy to say that I got accepted at 3 of the 4 schools I applied to and got significant scholarships.

Highly recommend working with her.

Dr. Rothman was very helpful in my application process for a masters program and I appreciate it greatly. He was able to walk me through all the steps in a patient and easy to understand way. I needed the most help with my statement of purpose and research abstract and I definitely felt like I could not have written them without Dr. Rothman's help. Even though organic chemistry was not his area of expertise, he was still able to understand my writing and help me improve the written portions. I also really appreciated the prewriting questionnaire he sent, as it was a great way for me to organize my thoughts and essay. Some other parts that he helped with were deciding on programs and asking for recommendation letters. Overall, Dr. Rothman provided an invaluable amount of help and resources in this process and I would not have gotten to where I am without him.

I am delighted to share my positive feedback about Kelly's assistance. Her guidance was incredibly valuable in enhancing my statement of purpose essay and resume. She provided precise and to-the-point feedback, allowing me to improve my application materials effectively. Kelly's work is highly professional, and I am grateful for the expertise she brought to the table. I would wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone seeking professional support in their application process.

Brigitte ranks among the most supportive, responsive, and meticulous admissions experts I have encountered. Before our initial meeting, I felt unsure about where to apply, what exactly to write, and how my stats measured up. Brigitte eased my anxieties with her calming yet effective guidance. Over several weeks, she assisted me in creating a personal statement that genuinely represented my ethos. The end product was something I could be proud of and feel confident about. Brigitte was consistently available for any queries and remained supportive even after the admissions process concluded. She also took the time to help me make decisions post-acceptance, during waitlisting, and following rejections. I am absolutely delighted to have discovered Accepted, and even more so that I had the opportunity to work with Brigitte.

I’m currently doing a Master's degree part-time, aiming to graduate by the end of 2025. Thank you Dr. Mahoney for all your help with the personal statement and the general recommendations for applying for meds school. I will definitely seek your help again when I apply to med school in 2026.

Karin was a ray of sunshine in an otherwise anxiety-inducing journey that is graduate admissions. As a non-STEM major applying for a STEM graduate program, I knew I had to get all aspects of my application just right. Karin helped me to do that by carefully going over my application materials, suggesting edits and strategies, and generally answering any questions I had. Thanks to her help, I got into top MSCS programs, including Columbia and UChicago. I am incredibly happy with my result, and it wouldn't have been possible without Karin's help.

I would like to thank you for all the great help, encouragement and valuable advice you gave me throughout the admission process! I got accepted to 5 grad schools, including my top 2 choices! I could not be happier with the outcome and I am forever grateful - working with you was a wonderful and valuable experience!

Thank you again for everything and wishing you all the best!

I was admitted to Stanford, Columbia, and USC graduate engineering programs - all the schools I applied to. Thank you so much for all of your help throughout last year with my essays and application. I truly believe I was admitted because of you. I appreciate you a lot and will recommend you to my network at every opportunity. Thank you again for everything.

I want to truly thank Kelly for the amazing help and guidance she provided me during the application process! She was beyond amazing with sharing helpful tips and going above and beyond with returning edited documents almost immediately after I sent them for review. I was accepted to my first choice school, Johns Hopkins, for a master's degree in Public Health.

I could not have asked for a better counselor and it was a great pleasure meeting and working with her!!

I was underprepared and felt lost when I first reached out to Accepted. Thankfully, Kelly was extremely easy to work with. Not only did she help me find the master's program perfect for me, but also gave me advice that helped me identify my short-term and long-term career goals. She helped improve my interview skills drastically and I can confidently say that she prepared me for every scenario during the interview. I highly recommend Kelly if you are ever in the same position as I once was.

If I could give more that 5 stars to Cydney, I would!

She is compassionate, understanding, dependable and her work is par excellence. She really takes the time and is very flexible and understands the stress a med applicant is going through which all consultants do not really do! I will be getting help from Cydney again for my residency application when the time comes.

Accepted really helped my daughter finesse her college essay/personal statement. She worked with Marie Todd who was recommended by Linda. I can truly say she was very instrumental in getting my daughter to think outside the box so that her story could jump off the page. Marie helped to fine tune her original idea. Marie took the time to have the hard conversations while being nurturing and patient. My daughter was accepted to 8 universities which included 3 Ivies. She will be attending Columbia this fall.

I know she will work with Marie again when she applies to graduate school.

I am glad to come across Accepted. At Accepted, I have worked with Dr Karin Ash. Dr Ash has provided me with valuable guidance and timely feedback during my graduate school applications that have helped me to get admitted to Cornell and UW-Madison in Master's program in electrical engineering. I would like to say thank you to Dr Ash and Accepted that have made this possible!

I had an amazing experience with the Accepted team. Karin Ash helped me with my statement of purpose and my personal history statement. She was always responsive, gave me great tips, and the editings were super helpful. I ended up getting into the master's program I wanted at UC Berkeley.

I worked with Karin Ash for my grad school application, specifically the personal statement and resume parts. Karin was an expert at what she did. She caught grammar mistakes, challenged my writing for the better, and overall was really easy to work with! Overall I highly recommend and would love to work with her again.

I'm absolutely thrilled with the counseling I received from Accepted. I got in contact with them, telling them about my situation and they put me in touch with Jamie, one of their counselors based in London. Jamie was nothing short of amazing and helped me brainstorm and draft up my essays and then shorten them piece by piece until my whole application was ready! I would have had a really rough time without her help because we literally went through everything I had ever done and then picked out the best parts! Better yet - I got accepted into Cambridge, my top choice! For just under $3000 in fees, it was 100% worth it for 2 grad school applications, a streamlined grad school CV and a mock interview. Definitely recommend.

Alicia was very helpful and personable. I was applying to PA school and Alicia helped me organize an outline for my essay and my extracurricular activities. When I started to get stressed she taught me breathing exercises to help and was extremely encouraging. It definitely made me feel confident about my application as a whole. I have been accepted into a top 10 PA school and I could not be happier. Thank you Alicia!
