Accepted Avis 187

Overall, Carol was extremely helpful throughout this process and a great supporter to have. I felt the most she helped me was with the interview prep. Although her mock interview was challenging, it was exactly what I needed to feel confident going into my real interview (and getting accepted!) The only issue I would say that I had was I felt sometimes Carol was not always responsive to certain questions I had and things would get overlooked. But other than that, I truly had a great experience with Carol and accepted and would definitely recommend it to others!

I have had the privilege to use the support of Accepted’s consultant Rebecca Lippman. I am 100% sure I would not have had so many great results if it wasn’t for her. She made me do a lot of work along the whole process, but everything proved to be valuable. My statements, CV, and other required materials were infinitely better than the ones I would have produced all by myself. I know this because I had come from a total failure in a previous application cycle the year before. Important to mention that she does this while fully preserving my personal trajectory, achievements, and aspirations. Everything in my written materials was specific to me. She helped me connect my personal trajectory, to my research interests and future goals, to why that specific program would be the right choice. She helped me show my best self in what interests a PhD program. This was one of the best investments I have done in my life. I was accepted to my preferred PhD programs (UPenn and Stanford), among others, all with full funding. My struggle now is to finally choose where I will go. :-)))

I am so glad I made the decision to work with Accepted for my graduate school applications! I was paired with Dr. Mary Mahoney, and she was incredibly helpful in every aspect of the application process—from narrowing down what schools best suited my future plans, to the final check over my application. She was incredibly approachable and made the experience feel personalized to me.
Starting the process was incredibly daunting for me, especially the statement of purpose. After a simple questionnaire and a few discussions over the phone with Dr. Mahoney to get to know me and my desired path for my graduate studies, I had finally found the inspiration and the path I needed to start writing. Through continued conversations with Dr. Mahoney, I was able to find and highlight my strengths in a way that worked with my desired program and felt genuine to who I am. She was always quick to respond and gave thoughtful insight and great feedback on my writing. With every draft, I was pushed to better my writing, and you can truly see the results in comparison to my first and final draft.
Since I sent in my applications, I already received a letter of acceptance from my top school and a scholarship offer. I am incredibly grateful for Dr. Mahoney for helping me realize my potential and am so glad I made the decision to work with Accepted. I highly recommend Accepted and especially Dr. Mary Mahoney!

I can’t say enough good things about working with Dr. Rothman and Accepted. I was
apprehensive about the process of having someone work with me on my application for nursing programs, especially as a career-changer who had been out of the application game for some time. I was told about Accepted and decided to look into the process. I'm so glad I did! I was immediately put in touch with Dr. Barry Rothman, whose gentle guidance and critiques made me feel at ease about the process. After my first round of applications, I was then accepted to my top nursing school choice.

My deadline for this application had been moved up three months, and I was completely stuck
on a few of the essay questions. With only two weeks to go, I was concerned that I had waited too long to ask for help. However, Dr. Rothman’s expertise on pre-nursing programs, the application cycle, and necessary nursing school candidate qualities were crucial. He provided prompts to help spark ideas and looked over my application, noting things to clarify or make my points stronger. His turnaround time with edits and pointers was incredibly fast, especially when he informed me he was technically on vacation but was still working with me early in the mornings. It truly made the stressful process more manageable. Thank you to both Accepted and Dr. Rothman!

After researching other services, I decided to go with Accepted and work with Esmeralda Cardenal. I am so happy I chose to work with her! She was amazing and helped me organize, craft, and create my own essays for two master's programs, one in Manufacturing Engineering and the other in sustainability, at the same school with the goal of earning a dual degree. She provided honest feedback about my chances of getting into other programs, and I appreciated her insight. She looked over my essays and resume and provided helpful feedback in a timely manner. She was always able to answer any question or concern I had. She was super supportive throughout the whole process! Through working with her I was admitted into both programs!! Both of my top choices! Working with Esmeralda was definitely worth it and I am so grateful for everything she did. I couldn't have done this without her amazing help and support! I highly recommend Accepted and Esmeralda!

I just recently used accepted for both an hour of editing for my personal statement and a mock interview. Carol was extremely helpful in calming my nerves and helping me through the process. I applied to 10 PsyD programs and have gotten accepted to 1 so far and have been asked on interviews from all programs. She specifically helped me with my interview at one school and I found out that I was accepted 3 hours after the interview! She understands the process very well! I recommend using this service as it will increase your chances of getting into your dream school and increase your confidence.

As I was preparing to apply for an MBA, I attended different information sessions and I discovered Accepted during one of these. The Accepted team really understands how the application process is a commitment, and they are committed to helping you from the beginning and will answer any questions that you have in the process. In addition, Accepted truly knows how to help you tell your story, put this on paper, and highlight your strengths.
I wholeheartedly recommend Esmeralda if you choose Accepted. She will help you from the beginning and will be there for you helping you shape your applications. She is the best!
Choosing Accepted has been the best investment I have ever done and I never looked back!

I was recommended to Accepted by a friend who had previously worked with Accepted on his application. I must say that I was more than satisfied by the quality of their suggestions and ideas. Esmeralda knew the process inside and out and was absolutely clear on what the Admissions Committee wants to see in these essays. She reviewed my essays with a very quick turnaround and her feedback was crisp, pertinent and tangible. I worked on applications for 3 schools and got an admit from all 3 of them!

I 100% recommend reaching out to Esmeralda for your B-school application!

I began my grad school application process, and I felt utterly lost. Thankfully, I found Accepted and began to work with dr Suzi Schweikert, who assessed my work and gave me helpful reviews. Now I have been accepted in five mph programs.

I worked with Esmeralda Cardinal on a couple MBA/MS applications. Having been rejected from a fellowship in the same year, I was worried that I would have the same fate in my graduate applications, so I decided to work with Accepted. Esmeralda was a great fit for me as I was interested in quantitative degrees, and she had a lot of experience. Not only did she help me focus on the most important parts of my story, but she knew which topics would resonate best with different audiences. In times when I was stuck with my writing, she respectfully pushed me to go deeper in my messages, helping me create a very clear and persuading story. This made me believe that she wanted what was best for me, not caring about having to spend a lot of time on my essays, and going back and forth with me more times than I had planned before we had an essay of excellent quality. I especially appreciated this since I had purchased a flat rate package (not charged hourly) and she could have stopped on a previous "good-enough" draft. I also had a mock interview with her, and her advice helped my personality shine through my interview. I believe my acceptance into the program of my dreams would not have been possible without Esmeralda's help. I highly recommend reaching out to Esme and the Accepted team! THANK YOU Esme!

Christie helped me from start to finish in my MBA application. She provided insightful feedback and was always willing to work around my busy schedule. Christie had tremendous knowledge of the MBA application process and made me feel confident that my application was ready for submission. As a result of working with Christie I gained admission into my goal school.

Working with Accepted, and specifically with Cindy, has been a great experience. At first, I was hesitant about whether or not a consultant was worth it, but in the end, it was a great decision. Cindy was always very responsive, offered thoughtful feedback, and was incredibly considerate. She also has experience working with candidates who have applied to multiple graduate degree programs which I believe is a big distinction from those who solely focus on one degree.

I recently got accepted to Wharton MBA, Stanford GSB, and Berkeley Haas, and I can admit with absolute certainty that I could not have done it without Natalie and Team Accepted. She was the person who realized my potential and encouraged me to apply to Stanford GSB. I was against it at first because I was led to believe that my chances were slim by other consultants, but she thoroughly understands the culture and values of each of the top schools and knows how to pull the best out of any applicants.

Before reaching out to Natalie, I talked to other admissions consulting companies. The collective consensus was that I should qualify my expectations, as I would not even have a chance to target the M7 schools. On the other hand, Natalie was patient, thorough, and understanding. Instead of deterring me from my goal, she astutely identified weaknesses in my application and provided solutions to help me improve on those aspects. Meeting virtually for an hour a week for three months, Natalie managed my progress when I felt exhausted and mentored me when I was overwhelmed.

I had such a fantastic experience working with Natalie. After a failed experience working with another consultant last year, I took a risk with Natalie and Team Accepted, and it was the best decision I ever made. Natalie's brainstorming, editing, interview preparation, and advice were outstanding. I am forever thankful for all of your help and guidance. Thank you, Natalie. You are a superstar!

I worked with Dr. Rothman for almost 15 hours, and I can hands down say that it was the best investment for my future. I have been striving to become a physician since I was in high school, and when I didn't receive a single interview invitation during my first application cycle, I knew something had to change. That's when I started working with Accepted, and specifically, Dr. Rothman.

Dr. Rothman went above and beyond in helping me prepare my reapplication to DO school. From editing my primary and secondary essays to practicing with mock interviews, Dr. Rothman helped me improve my application with his useful advice, thoroughness/attention to detail, and vast knowledge of the medical school application process. He has a great personality and truly wants to see his clients succeed. With his help, I have now received 2 medical school admission invitations and still pending a decision from several others.

Overall, Dr. Rothman was more than a consultant; he was my mentor. I highly recommend anyone seeking help with their med school applications to reach out to Dr. Rothman and the Accepted team!

I worked for four months with Accepted and Alicia Nimonkar and really enjoyed my experience. As an immigrant, navigating this process was challenging, and Alicia was fundamental to my application. One area for improvement would be that sometimes I felt Alicia lacked a bit of initiative.

After two previously unsuccessful medical school application cycles, I received multiple interviews and an acceptance in just the first few months of my third cycle while working with Alicia! Alicia was honest, straightforward, kind, and caring. The communication, interview, and writing skills I have learned will last a lifetime.

My experience with Jennifer was absolutely amazing. She transformed my applications completely and helped me put my best foot forward. Thanks to her, I ended my admissions season with 4 admits (2 M7s and 2 T15s), 2 waitlists and 1 full-ride. I was also able to submit quality applications to all my target schools, weeks (and in some cases, almost a month) in advance of the deadlines.

During my research, I found a large number of consultants giving cookie-cutter responses and discouraging me from applying to top-ranked schools due to the fact that I come from an over-represented demographic (Indian Engineer). However, my experience with Jennifer could not have been more different. What really sets her apart from others is that she was personally vested in my candidacy. Right from the get go, she was totally candid regarding my strengths and weaknesses. She gave me a realistic assessment regarding the components in my profile that would appeal to each school while also telling me up-front what challenges I would have to overcome for each of them. This was critical in helping me make an informed choice.

When I sent a 30-page response to her questionnaire, Jennifer made the effort to go through the entire document meticulously. She was instrumental in helping me drill down to the impactful experiences in my life and telling them in a way that caught the attention of the admissions committee. She made the effort to understand the nuances of my professional background so that she could best position me for success. This really helped me differentiate myself in such a competitive year. Her attention to detail and quick turnaround is commendable. During critical moments, when I needed quick advice, I knew I could count on her. I had only to ping her on WhatsApp and she would help out. She strives for perfection and keeps pushing you to refine your application constantly. During our mock interview, she gave solid, actionable feedback that helped me ace this component. It was a pleasure working with her. Thanks to Jennifer, I refined my writing and story-telling skills and this will definitely stand me in good stead later in life as well.

I used both a comprehensive package and hourly consultations as part of my applications. Even in hourly consultations, Jennifer was very professional and always gave me a clear idea regarding the number of hours left and how I can best utilize them. Another notable aspect about Accepted as a firm is how Linda constantly stays in touch with applicants for feedback, both during and after the process, showing how they really care for their applicants.

If you are the sort of candidate who strives for perfection and is looking for a consultant who takes genuine interest in your candidacy to help you stand out, go with Jennifer. She indeed helped my applications “bloom”. Working with her was the best decision I made.

Cindy Tokumitsu at Accepted was wonderful in helping me throughout the process, she made a huge difference in articulating my story to the adcom at HBS. I am delighted that I was accepted to HBS; but even if I was not selected, I would have definitely recommend Cindy to any prospective student! I have worked with Accepted before on applications where I was not selected, but I still felt the team was always extremely committed to help their clients going above and beyond. Comparing my initial essay draft vs the final submission shows how much of a difference Cindy and the team at Accepted had made on my journey!

Dr. Rothman was instrumental to my success on interview day and ultimately what helped me secure my spot at my school of choice. He is the BEST premedical advisor out there with many years of experience. This is most evident in his planning of sessions and continuous assessment of progress and planned objectives throughout. For this reason, I find multiple sessions are helpful and HIGHLY recommend others pursuing a career in medicine to do the same. He provides tailored feedback which is invaluable in this process, and committed to help his clients succeed. His expertise in the field of medicine combined with his structured plans that still accommodated my growth are what led me to succeed on interview day. Thanks to Dr. Rothman- I was not just adequately prepared for my interview but I knew what to expect and he cultivated the mindset of what interviewers are looking for. He helped address the barriers to my success (in my case it was negative thinking), taught me how to manage these barriers and modeled appropriate responses. He is a true advisor and partner in this process that you need. It is crystal clear that he cares about and is invested in the success of his clients. I cannot adequately capture how instrumental Dr. Rothman was to my performance as an applicant; I did so well that the I was extended an invite that same day as my interview and I fully credit Dr. Rothman for that achievement. He is undoubtedly kind, knowledgeable and just overall expert but what sets Dr. Rothman apart from other premed advisors is that he has the unique ability to understand the specific needs of each student , develop plans to ensure student success and translate the necessary skills. He can never steer you wrong! I would not hesitate to use Dr. Rothman for any premedical application process and cannot recommend him enough!

Excellent advice on how to sharpen my application essays!
