Philippe from Accepted was excellent! Without Philippe I would not have got into a top 20 program. I am 34 years of age and so my essays would have to be top notch for me to be considered into a top program. In the essays, he helped me focus on only the most important aspects of my work experience and career goals in a succinct fashion. With the help of his guidance my essays were customized to fit the culture and uniqueness of each school. Philippe was always quick to respond and approachable with any questions that I had and always gave me frank and genuine feedback. I highly recommend Philippe to any MBA candidate.

Natalie was instrumental in helping me get into my target school with a merit scholarship! I signed up for a package with Natalie after having tried another company/consultant that I was very disappointed with. Natalie had all the qualities and skills that I was missing in the first consultant I had booked. She was extremely professional, very responsive, provided great feedback and ideas, and most importantly - she was always so supportive of me and encouraging as I went through the application process. Many people do not talk about how demoralizing the application process can be and how a candidate may constantly second guess themselves or feel that they are not good enough for the program of their dreams. It is crucial that you find a consultant that is realistic, but also builds your confidence and pushes you to see what you're worth. You will get this with Natalie. I am so grateful that I reached out to Linda at Accepted.com and was paired with Natalie. It was small investment that is well worth it in the long run.

Every year I meet five to eight people that change my life. Esmeralda Cardenal is one. She has been instrumental in obtaining my acceptance into London Business School and Columbia, and separately, her advice has advanced my career. Esmeralda listens, and once informed, she subtlety contributes in a way that helps a client in the long run. Rather than cheap 'yes' after 'yes,' Esmeralda thinks holistically about the admissions process and evokes the right conclusion from a client. The result has been a double-win: I got into all of my target schools and found the right program. Big kudos to Esmeralda! She is one of the good ones - you want her in your support network.

Hello all!

Accepted helped me get into 3/5 Top 15 schools. I will be going to Darden this fall !

Background: I spoke with multiple consultants before my journey began and ended up going with Natalie Epstein from Accepted (She was an admissions director at two of the schools that I wanted to apply to and she seemed awesome).

Journey: I went with the comprehensive school package for 1 school and the journey began! We would meet on a weekly basis, ironing out each aspect of the application. Natalie provided her expert and helpful guidance on each step and it was truly a wonderful experience.
Natalie had very insightful thoughts and advice regarding each and every step and I believe it definitely helped bring creativity to my application and the much needed "life" to words.
I was so impressed by the results that I requested Natalie's assistance for all of my remaining schools (though I went on an hourly basis for each of the essays).

Natalie went out of her way to help me out on many occasions and I am really thankful to her for that.

All in all, I would highly recommend Natalie Epstein from Accepted for your MBA application. One advice from my side would be to start your journey with Accepted early so you can fully utilize their range of advice (incase you need to take your GMAT again for your target schools, as an example).

Thank you very much for all your efforts Natalie - I truly appreciate it!!

It was an absolute pleasure to have Rachel advise me as I prepared my B-School applications.

Before reaching out to Accepted, I was struggling to weave my professional journey into compelling application essays. My job requires little writing, so I could not get beyond the initial outlining phase. Through brainstorming sessions with Rachel, I was able to craft my MBA story from scratch. She asked the right questions about my background, goals, and interests to help me put my story into words and bring my essays to life.

Throughout the process, Rachel was direct with her recommendations, prompt with her edits, and always professional in her communications. In the end, I was accepted to both my top M7 school choices with scholarships. Simply put, Rachel is a story and essay-writing guru, and I could not recommend her services more highly.

Thank you, Rachel!

I'm very happy to write a review recommending Jennifer and Accepted.com's services. Between a job with long hours and a relatively late start to studying for the GMAT, I was left with no more than 2-3 weeks to apply to schools in Round 2.

Jennifer was critical to this endeavour. I specifically valued her: (i) guidance on essays, with multiple iterations to make sure I was thinking deeply about my "story" and communicating it clearly; (ii) resume editing, which removed a lot of bloat and made it much more impactful; (iii) assistance in filling up the application, ensuring that I used the limited space available effectively; and (iv) interview preparation.

I would be remiss not to call out her responsiveness. She stuck to her one-day turnaround despite my late start and continually improved my applications, even going back and forth with me hours (and, in some cases, minutes!) before school deadlines.

I was interviewed by every school I applied to and accepted at multiple top schools, including CBS, which I will be attending. I am very grateful to have had a partner like Jennifer through this process!

It was a real pleasure to start my MBA journey with Cindy, one of the milestone person in my success. From my essays to my interview, she was always supportive, helpful, empathy. Working with Cindy was like working with my mother, as she found the right words to get me up whenever I felt down. Furthermore, I was impressed about how she navigated between my personal information, my goals and the B-school's interests to help me produce my awesome essays. For me, Cindy is, without doubt, the right person to lead you toward the B-school you would like to attend.

I could not have done it without Esmeralda! Round 1 was a complete bust for me. I underestimated the MBA process and did not know what I was doing and, I had the results to prove it.

I am so grateful I was matched with Esmeralda for my R2 applications. She helped me strategize and maximize my story to highlight my strengths. I went from receiving rejections in RI to receiving interview invites from every school I applied to in R2, and I will be attending a T10 program with almost a full-ride scholarship this fall!

Esme went above and beyond to help me. She was extremely flexible with her schedule, especially for my last-minute interview prep. She pushes you and encourages you to pull out the gold in your story and will help you polish it to set you apart.

My only regret is that I didn't find Esme sooner - my R1 results probably would have been different if I had her help.

Working with Esme was one of the best investments I've ever made. I highly recommend her.

Working with Cindy is really enjoyable and a wise choice. She effectively revised my drafts of essays and gave me many helpful suggestions. Her turnaround time is also amazing, I always got the revision within one day. Although I only purchased the editing service, she also gave me useful ideas on my topics. Due to Cindy's experience in Asia, she knows my situation and can point out my uniqueness. Eventually, she made my essays compelling, and I was admitted by my dream program. I really appreciate Cindy and would recommend her to anyone looking for help with their admissions essays!

I worked with Esmeralda and Natalie to help strategize and craft my story in my applications through my essays, then in the mock Wharton TBD group interview. Accepted gathered a diverse group of applicants and set up an environment that would resemble the interview on campus. They observed the interactions between each candidate, then provided immediate and effective feedback after the session was over. I felt much more comfortable and prepared during the real thing, and as a result will be attending Wharton in the fall! I would recommend Accepted to MBA candidates no matter where they are in the application process.
