Fantastic Experience! Highly Recommended!

Madelaine is awesome! Getting into a top-tier business school is no easy feat. As a reapplicant, I was unsure how to best present my story and essays. Madelaine’s expert insight and detailed feedback were instrumental in enabling me to gain acceptance to Columbia Business School! Simply put, I could not have done it without her. Madelaine was a true joy to work with and genuinely cares about her clients. I also found the frequent webinars from Linda Abraham, Accepted’s president, to be extremely helpful during the application process. I highly recommend Madelaine and Accepted to anyone applying to business school!

Great service at an affordable price!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by membership [?]

My essay writing was decent and I knew what story I wanted to tell the AdComs, I did not opt for the more expensive MBA consulting package but instead used Accepted's essay editing services. I just needed someone to read my essays and edit it- eliminate fluff and make them sharper. After doing some research I decided to go ahead with Accepted. I worked with Jen and was extremely happy with the response. The turnaround time was quick, her responses were accurate, and she even told me if she had managed to edit my essay before the hour. The extra time that I had purchased was used for editing my resume. I was very impressed with this honesty. All in all it was a great experience. If there is anyone else who needs purely essay editing services I would highly recommend Accepted.

Consultant Karin

Working with Dr.Ash was a pleasure. I had hourly session with Dr. Karin Ash. She has a deep knowledge of the whole process and had really helped in understanding pitfalls in my essay. I did get several admits in b-schools this year but unfortunately my plans for MBA has changed as my goals have drastically changed.
I will be doing MBA 2-3 years from now. In the time being will work towards my goals and see how my idea pans out. In future I will surely use accepted services to get me through the hurdle. Kudos to accepted. a

Thank you, Jen at Accepted.com

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

I am writing to very enthusiastically recommend Jen Weld at Accepted.com. In our first project together, Jen helped edit my resume and application essays. I appreciate how the end products were my own experiences, ideas, and words made better through her honest and direct feedback. Jen also coached me through two mock interview sessions. In these sessions Jen prepared me for the types of questions that I would face, provided coaching on timing and content, and gave me the confidence to perform in the real interviews. Jen also answered numerous questions about the admissions process. Her experience as a member of the admissions committee at Cornell provided excellent insight into how the AdCom will receive my application. I strongly believe that Jen’s guidance and coaching significantly contributed to my successful acceptance to the MIT EMBA class of 2019.

While evaluating several MBA admissions coaching services, I was attracted to Accepted.com because of the great, free content on their site and by the initial free session with Jen. I appreciated the chance to speak with Jen and establish rapport with her before plunking down money.

Best MBA consultant, ever!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

Jennifer has been a great support to me during the application process. I would like to call out her resume edits specially, she helped me shape my resume into one that was crisp and yet very effective. She helped me think through my experiences and articulate them to convey the message I wanted to in the finest form. She was very responsive and was supremely professional. She was a keen listener and had great eye for details. She has been patient throughout the process, and her calmness often gave me the strength to stand strong during the application process :) I would highly recommend Jennifer and the services of Accepted and Linda, to all the applicants.

2 years journey with Jennifer

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

What a process this has been! I am a reapplicant who came very close the first time and got accepted to 2/3 (top 5 business schools) in my second attempt (with scholarship money from each).

The journey would not have been successful nor would have been the same without Jennifer and Accepted by my side. Being from a non-traditional background, I had little clue about admissions consulting. The reviews online provided too many options. I was referred to her unambiguously by a friend who had made it to Stanford. I took a leap of faith and have had no regrets since.

Jennifer has years of successful experience with many MBA applicants but still remains down to earth and easily accessible. From her experience, she has deep knowledge and insights into what is required for all top B schools. She is brutally honest upfront, a very important skill to have as an admissions consultant. Throughout she was like a mirror to which I can always turn to for honest feedback.

Her biggest strength is her editing skills. She can do magic with words, but is a perfectionist at the same time- a rare combination to have. Word limits and precision of speech are no longer obstacles if you are working with her!

Her other big asset is accessibility and a sense of calm in all situations. MBA application process is long and stressful. There are times when you naturally become obsessed over small details and/or need clarification about things that you may normally ignore. You need a partner, a confidante who can help you navigate these times while remaining patient and non judgmental. She keeps herself super organized, which helps her to achieve a high turnaround time even at peak times. There was never a time she refused to edit a last minute essay change or a last minute email to adcom/interviewer. I cannot think of a more calm and professional person. She genuinely cared for my success throughout this long journey and she demonstrated this by her tremendous work ethic and not by flowery language.

I believe that Accepted.com and Linda support and encourage this work ethic. Through my reapplication I worked briefly with other companies. But no other company comes close to Accepted when it comes to being driven by client success and genuine long -term relationship building, and not primarily by money or profits. The amount of editing/admissions consulting that Jennifer can deliver in 1 hour is just unbelievable!! Give it a shot

I have learnt a lot in this exciting 2 year journey which fortunately led to a positive result at the end. More than the result, the journey itself has made me a better person. I am proud and happy that I had Jennifer to guide me all along this difficult path.

Worth the Investment

Product Accepted MBA Essay Editing

Consultant Keith

Due to the high cost, I just started with a 1-hour session hoping to get some sort of direction. I was so impressed with my initial exchange with Keith that I purchased the 5-hour package immediately afterwards. Whether I got accepted or not, it would still have been worth the investment because I knew I was submitting the best possible application I was able to put together. For those of you who are on the fence due to the cost, I encourage you to start with the 1-hour session like I did. You will be impressed with their services, professionalism, and results.

Excellent guidance

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by membership [?]

I had a great experience with Accepted's consulting services and I absolutely recommend them.

I wanted to work with someone who would guide me objectively and with transparency and Karin is the perfect consultant for that. Throughout the process, she has been open to me about what will work and what won't. Her unbiased, thoughtful, and detail-oriented opinions have helped really fine tune and polish my essays.

Before settling down to work on the essays, I had some thought-provoking one-on-one talks with Karin, which really helped me figure out how to communicate who I am to the admissions and how to center the essays.

MBA Essay Editing with Accepted

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I worked with Accepted for help with editing my essays to UVA Darden and NYU Stern; It was a terrific experience and a big help in strengthening my application. My consultant helped in brainstorming essay topics, suggesting areas to add examples and strengthen the content, as well as editing the flow and grammar. My consultant's knowledge of what the different adcoms would be looking for was very valuable to my application, and offered much peace of mind that I was on the right track. I'm happy to report I was accepted to both of these schools, and am now applying to MIT Sloan, with Accepted's help of course. I would definitely recommend Accepted to anyone looking for some extra help and inside knowledge in writing their essays.

Interview Coaching w/ Natalie

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I used Natalie on three separate occasions: first for a one-hour consulting session and twice for interview coaching sessions. First, I found Accepted's rates reasonable when compared to other consulting services given Natalie's background. Second, the communication between Natalie and me was great! She was always quick to respond. As for the consulting sessions themselves, Natalie was a HUGE help, especially with my interviews. I don't have a ton of practice with interviews, and I don't think I would have gotten into Columbia and Stern without her help. As a side note, I also had interviews at Fuqua and Darden last year. I did not use an admissions coach beforehand, and I was waitlisted at both schools. With Natalie's help, I had much better interviews with Columbia and Stern and was able to get into both. I also liked that Natalie provided me with both verbal and written feedback, as it was helpful to refer back to her emails later. During our mock interviews, she was appropriately critical, but by the end, she left me feeling very confident in my ability to interview well.
