I don’t often write reviews, but I thought that others would really benefit from hearing of my extremely positive experience with the Accepted program. I reached out to Accepted to have overall help for my master’s applications to UK universities. Jamie Wright not only helped me develop my personal statements and CV but also provided me with support in understanding what career path I want to follow, what skills I am looking to get from the master’s and what course fit all of this. With her help I have not only managed to secure a place at Imperial College London for a master’s in Economics and Strategy for Business (which is where I will be going) and other offers at other universities, but she helped me come to the realisation of what I am looking for in terms of master’s course but also career wise afterwards. Jamie was really good at providing really good prompts to make me think and research to get across my ambitions and show myself off in my personal statements and career planning questions. She was always quick at responding to my emails and at looking over and editing the different drafts I would send her. Overall, she had a huge impact on the success of my application process, she went above and beyond to help me succeed. I would really like to thank her for all her work and support and I would highly recommend her and Accepted as a whole to anyone that would like help with any aspect of applications for master’s. Thank you!

I absolutely loved the Accepted program! I am so very appreciative of Karin Ash's timely edits which was monumental to my success in getting into top ranked programs and Linda Abraham's effortless faciliation of matching me with my mentor. I am pleased to attend the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign for a Master's in HR Management! Thank you!

Where do I even begin? Firstly, this isn’t my first time working with Esme on grad school applications. She also helped me get into Duke Fuqua’s MMS and UT Austin McCombs’s MSM programs last year. During my grad studies at Duke, I realized that I wanted to take on another, more specialized field of study, so I decided to try for a Business Analytics degree. Naturally, I asked Esme to help me with the process again. I chose to apply to three schools this year (I got gold packages for guidance throughout the entire process) but got my acceptance to UCLA’s MSBA before I submitted the last application. Frankly, we were a little less confident this year about applying in general, since there are so many applicants and I already have a master’s degree under my belt. I also don’t have a math/engineering/computer science background, which is what a lot of MSBA programs are looking for. But somehow, almost magically, I got into UCLA on some merit scholarship. All I can say is, Esme is AMAZING at what she does. The UCLA app was tough, consisting of four 500-750 word essays. I started applying a little less than a month before the second deadline, and upon seeing the length of the essays I was pretty put off and thought that it would be better for me to submit by the last deadline to have more time. However, Esme encouraged me to apply asap, saying that she had confidence in me to turn out an outstanding application. She’s so incredibly responsible in the sense that she doesn't stop pushing you until the essays are as good as they can be, not to mention she's extremely patient and understanding, so there's no shame in being a poor writer. Even after three, four, or sometimes even five rounds of editing, she’ll still look for ways to improve upon the writing. She knows what these business schools want in their applicants and will adeptly bring out all your strengths. Her experience with business-related graduate studies makes her the perfect consultant to go to because she also provides valuable advice on which programs and schools would be the best fit for you. I can say with confidence that if it wasn’t for Esme, I definitely would not have gotten into Duke or UCLA (again, both on merit scholarship (even though my undergrad GPA was not hot)!!) I don’t anticipate I’ll be applying to graduate school again anytime soon, but if I did, you know for sure I’ll ask for Esme’s help again, and if I have any friends who are applying, I’ll send them to Esme with no hesitation. Trust me when I say that it’s one of the best investments you’ll ever make toward your education!!

Working with Rebecca Lippman on my Fulbright application was hands down the best decision I made. Her brainstorming sessions were incredibly helpful. Even when I tried to skimp out on them, Rebecca pushed me to really trust the process and the plan that she had laid out. I am so glad I did. There is no way I could have gotten my application to where it was without her help and her ongoing guidance. During each of my reviews and rewrites, she highlighted the places that needed more expanding on, and emphasized the areas that I was getting too technical. It's incredibly hard to step outside your head sometimes and it's important to have someone who isn't in your field read over your application. Rebecca was not only that someone for me, she was highly skilled and knowledgeable about the application process in general. For my personal statement, she ensured that I wrote the best statement that clearly articulated who I was and why I was applying for a Fulbright! I've written many applications in the past, but the Fulbright is a completely different ball game. It required a different type of language and Rebecca helped me learn that language. In the end, I ended up winning a Fulbright to Stanford. But more than simply winning, I actually believe she made me a better writer. She pushed me to reach my highest potential. I 100% say, without hesitancy, that Rebecca is the best Fulbright coach anyone could ever ask for. She's truly gifted at what she does!!

I really enjoyed my experience with Accepted. I worked with Philippe and found it to be a very smooth process. I was held accountable and Philippe has a very good framework for helping you write your SOP and the other essays you need to submit. He even helped with little things like sending an email to request a recommendation letter. Can't recommend enough

Having Dr. Barry Rothman by my side to brainstorm and review all aspects of my Med School applications was incredibly rewarding! I was worried my complex educational background would hurt my chances at admission, but Barry clearly knows the angles admissions committees respond well to and helped me leverage my history in my Personal Statement, Experiences, and (most importantly) Interviews. His collaboration style encouraged me to dig deep and provide a wide variety of ideas, which helped me build new insights into my experiences by bringing them all to the fore. He has a good eye for word choice and essay structure in editing my personal statements and is able to separate the wheat from the chaff to help meet tight character limits. He is also a wonderful coach for interview prep, able to provide tips, scenarios, and observations pertinent to a successful interview. His feedback at all steps was valuable, respectful, and trustworthy, and helped me refine my ideas into a more thematically consistent complete work. Barry helped me be a more confident and competitive applicant, and I am glad to have worked with him and Accepted on my medical school applications. They are highly recommended!

After my MCAT exam had been cancelled and delayed twice, I felt pressed for time to complete and submit my medical school application. Luckily, a friend of mine referred me to Accepted, where I had the pleasure of working with Alicia. From the very beginning, Alicia was kind, understanding, supportive, knowledgeable and professional. She went over my grades, extracurricular activities and exam scores and thoroughly explained the application process to me, always more than willing and ready to answer my questions. I struggled the most with the Activities section of my application where she helped me to brain storm and refine my ideas so that I was then able to write about the most important aspects of my experiences. Within two weeks of working with Alicia, I was able to submit my application to medical schools. Because I enjoyed working with Alicia so much, I decided to continue to work with her throughout the rest of application process (secondaries, interviews). I am very happy I decided to work with Alicia, as I felt very confident going into my interviews and have been accepted to one of my top choices for medical school. I highly recommend Accepted and Alicia to anyone who is applying to medical school. Thank you!

When I first considered applying to graduate programs, I was worried that my low undergraduate GPA and lack of research experience would prevent me from being admitted into a good program. Dr. Ash was extremely patient and took time to get to know me, my academic history and career goals and helped me to write strong statements of purpose that conveyed my strengths as an applicant. Her input and review of my statements allowed me to be representative of my own experiences and goals, but also to do so in a way that catered to the program that I was applying to. With her help and support, I was accepted into all of the programs that I applied to, including the Quantitative Analytics in Education program at the University of Virginia and the Learning Analytics program at the University of Wisconsin – Madison. It was truly a privilege to work with Dr. Ash, and her guidance was invaluable to my application experience!
