Jennifer Bloom
My application is much stronger after your additions and I would certainly recommend you to other prospective students. I am glad to let you know that I was accepted to both the SDM program at MIT and the MSIS program at NYU. Once again, thank you for your sound advice and edits. I believe they were vital for my success.

Dr. Shirley Tokheim
I appreciate all the work Shirley put into this. She was very efficient and patient and did a great job! [Accepted at LSE]

Natalie Grinblatt Epstein
"Natalie was amazing while coaching me for my interview. She is a very nice person and went above and beyond to make sure we covered everything. I am glad that I got paired with her. Accepted to UC Berkeley's MFE Program "

Natalie Grinblatt Epstein
I received an offer of admission from Berkeley and I have accepted the offer. I returned today after 2 weeks vacation in India and was not able to get back to you sooner. Thank you for all your help, I couldn't have done it without you.

Sachin Waikar
"Everyone else said my personal statement was already great logic-wise -- and there wasn't much room for improvement -- especially from a content point of view. Given that my statement was interwoven with terms and ideas from more than one academic discipline, I could understand why I heard little feedback from my other reviewers on the validity of the conceptual links I had made among the different disciplines. But deep down, knowing that the very same conceptual links could make or break my application, I certainly didn't want to leave this important component of my statement to chance. That was when I came across Sachin's profile, and decided that he might well be the best person to review my essay. And I was right. With his academic expertise and exceptional savvy from his experience working for the world's leading strategy consulting firm, Sachin provided insightful and thought-provoking analysis and critique from the outset. He was the only reviewer who was able to specify, with examples, how I could actually make some of the technical terms and specialized concepts more accessible to the reader. What's more, he was only one who spotted the need for a much stronger career goals section, and suggested a wonderful way to perfect my otherwise well-thought-out ending. I doubt, even now, if anybody else who could have done a more fantastic job than what Sachin did for me -- except maybe the faculty members in the admissions committee themselves! While the admission decision isn't out yet, I have no doubt that Sachin's quality of work has given me a tremendous advantage in my doctoral application. Kudos to you, Sachin. "

Paul Bodine
I wanted to thank you, Paul, for supporting me throughout this entire process. Without your essay advice and editing, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to choose from such amazing graduate programs [Accepted at four programs including Harvard’s Graduate School of Education]. Paul, you also taught me about the admissions process. Without your help, I wouldn't have been able to improve my essays

Cydney Foote
" I really have to say that Cydney's help was instrumental in my acceptance to Columbia. She's a great editor and I hope to be able to use her services again for my scholarship letters. I realize now that the cost was well worth it. "

Paul Bodine
I really appreciate all of accepted.com's services. I am in total shock that I got admitted to an Ivy League Graduate school WITH funding! It's surreal.

Sheila Bender
Prior to talking to you I really had trouble figuring out what my strengths are and I didn't even know how to start my essay. I couldn't have done it without your help. Again, thank you for all the help!

Sachin Waikar
Thank you so much for all of your help, I tremendously appreciate it. I absolutely love how the statement has turned out. You are a fantastic editor!

Sachin Waikar
I was accepted to both schools I applied to . . . I'm extremely happy with the help I received from you!

Tanis Kmetyk
Accepted.com's essay advising service has provided me a great help to get offers from many prestigious schools in-and outside of the U.S.A. I got offers from LSE, Fordham, Columbia (wait-listed->accepted), and Syracuse Univ. Thank you very much.I would like to strongly recommend Accepted.com to those who apply for further studies.

Cydney Foote
I just wanted to write to thank you again for help and guidance with my personal statement. Last week, I received my acceptance letter and will be starting classes in the fall. I would not have written such a fine essay without your assistance. Thanks agan.

Cydney Foote
Cyd, I just received word from Columbia and I was accepted! I definitely think your help made a difference. Thank you for everything!

Cydney Foote
I sincerely appreciate your thoughtful review of my essay drafts, and your timely and professional assistance with meeting my submission deadline. I feel fortunate to have worked with you, and to have found accepted.com in the first place. Thank you, again, for your help-

Cydney Foote
I am writing to let you know that I was accepted into the doctoral program. I am so excited. Again, thank you so much. Your expert editing skills really helped me to shape my ideas and answer questions for the reader that I had not thought about. I was told today that my application went before the admissions committee and that it was one of the quickest turn around acceptances to date. If you had not returned my call that day, back in July, I probably would have put off the application process for one more year. Your encouraging voice and attitude made me believe that it was possible and we did it.
Thanks again!

Cindy Tokumitsu
In every apect of the essay, correspondence, editing, and just overall ease of working with her I give it a 10. She was great and I am very proud to submit the finished product. My brother had recommended her from having previously applied to his residency for medical school and she was everything he said she would be. Thanks for the great service!

Cydney Foote
I am extremely pleased with the outcome. Words can not express my appreciation for what you have helped me to accomplish this week. What seemed like an impossiblity on Monday is done today in time for me to make my deadline.

Sonia Michaels
I really appreciate the help, the excellent feedback, the ?pressing? for improvement on problem areas, and good old-fashioned editing. The result is much better than I would have achieved alone. Well done.

Sonia Michaels
Sonia was really fabulous! The concept of the layout of the essay was really unique. Sonia brought the best out of me and had even worked at odd hours and weekends to help me on the essay. I wouldn't have been able to make it without her.

Paul Bodine
As for the grad-school update, I have some wonderful news for you! I was accepted to Stanford University! Woooohoooo!

...I have so much to thank you for and am convinced your expertise editing my essay had a lot to do with my acceptance!

Sonia Michaels
I just wanted to pass on to you that I got accepted to Claremont! I think the greatest selling point was my essay, thanks to all of your valuable feedback and editing! Last year I applied to USC, using the "old" essay. I did not get accepted. Now, after revising the essay with your help, I got accepted to Claremont. Thanks again!

Sheila Bender
Thanks Sheila. You have no idea how much of a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I have been extremely stressed about this essay for the last two months, and now I`m finished thanks to you. I`m very happy with the final result.

Paul Bodine
I have been meaning to email you [Paul Bodine] to say THANK YOU and to tell you did a wonderful job editing my essay. I really like the way it turned out, and am very confident in submitting it my graduate schools. Thank you very much for your time and patience with me.

Catherine Cook
Thanks so much for your help...I will definitely recommend you [Catherine Cook] and accepted.com in the future.

Sonia Michaels
I wanted to take a moment to tell you what a great job Sonia did! She helped me create my personal statement for my application to Columbia's MA program for elementary education. She was a pleasure to work with, very responsive and professional. She had the magic touch when it came to shaping my rough sentences into words that sincerely conveyed what I was trying to say. Her suggestions were always dead on and she made the whole process painless.

Sonia Michaels
I was extremely impressed by Sonia's professional abilities, patience and perceptiveness. Although I have not yet heard if I have been accepted to the graduate programs I applied to, either way, I feel confident about the quality of my personal essay. Given time constraints of about two weeks, Sonia and I immediately got working during our interview session. Her ability to discover my theme through my personal background (revealing that which had escaped me) was uncanny and she developed an extensive outline for me a day later. I believe I ended up writing five drafts before the final project (while I was still studying for the GRE), yet she really helped make it painless and kept me focused. I would highly recommend your service and Sonia's expertise in particular to anyone.

Paul Bodine
Paul has been extremely helpful during my application process, and his guidance and insight gave me direction and clarity in writing the essay. His flexibility and timely responses, his patience and support, were more than I expected when I signed up for your services. Thank you once again for an outstanding job! (Accepted at Columbia)

Linda Abraham
I have been accepted at UC Berkeley and UC Boulder (Ph.D. programs in engineering)... I would say that you have certainly helped emphasize my two [main] points in my essay -- namely research and teaching. You made it clearer, and I also like the way you rearranged my paragraphs to make it flow.

Jennifer Bloom
Guess what? YES... I got accepted!!!

I have only just received NYU's accepting letter in the mail, isn't this just brilliant? I really have to thank you for helping me with my essay. Without your help, I don't think this could be happening.

...Thanks for all the patience, efforts and time you have spent on my essay, thanks for helping me to achieve this goal...

Please share this good news with Ms. Abraham, I have to thank her for helping me with one of my recommendation letters too. Again... Thank you thank you thank you!

Linda Abraham
Thank you for your help with my personal statement [for MSW program]. You were a pleasure to work with.

Paul Bodine
Thanks for everything. I am sending my final essay to Stanford this weekend. ... It was excellent working with you.

Linda Abraham
Just wanted to say "thanks" again for your help and your pamphlet. I just received confirmation of acceptance to Ohio State Mech. Engineering graduate program -- they only take 20-25% of the people that apply. I think part of it was your help in telling me to write in a positive context. Again thanks for your time and help. Good luck with helping others!!
