"Karin was a ray of sunshine in an otherwise anxiety-inducing journey that is graduate admissions. As a non-STEM major applying for a STEM graduate program, I knew I had to get all aspects of my application just right. Karin helped me to do that by carefully going over my application materials, suggesting edits and strategies, and generally answering any questions I had. Thanks to her help, I got into top MSCS programs, including Columbia and UChicago. I am incredibly happy with my result, and it wouldn't have been possible without Karin's help."

"The medical school application process is long and arduous. However, the expert advice given by Dr. Rothman helped make the experience not only more manageable but also enjoyable. Barry is a true professional and was eager to help me throughout my medical school application journey, as well as accommodate and assuage my mother’s fears about the process.

As a veteran admissions advisor, Barry knows the pitfalls that many students experience as they navigate the medical school admissions process. His steady guidance was invaluable to me, and I am pleased to say today that I have gained entrance into an excellent medical school. I would give my highest recommendation to Dr. Barry Rothman to assist any applicant to medical school and hope that he will continue his services for many more years! Thank you, Barry!"

"I just got accepted into Columbia University!! I am forever thankful to Marie Todd for all the help she gave me. I wouldn’t have been able to get into such a great school without her guidance. Because I am an international student, I didn’t know very much about the application process, but Marie was dedicated to making me understand all I needed to succeed with my application. She was always ready to fully answer my questions, making me confident to pursue the challenging process that is to apply for American universities. Thank you again for all you have done for me, Marie!"

"Working with Accepted, in particular with Esmeralda, was the best decision prior to my application to the Yale School of Management. Given her previous experience at the Admissions Committee of Yale SOM, Esmeralda provides a unique feedback all over the admission process. We worked together for more than 2 months in which I was able to see first hand the progress of my application. From the very beginning we scheduled 2-3 revisions per week, which allowed me to get a better sense of what Yale was expecting from me as a Candidate. I would say that Esmeralda was a key part of my successful admission process. I recommend Accepted and Esmeralda 100%, without a doubt."
