Team

Consultant Experience

At Accepted, our admissions consultants are committed to their field and continually researching new programs, staying up-to-date on developments in existing programs, and reflecting on nuances within the many applicant profiles we review. Our consulting team has experience leading admissions committees, interviewing applicants, teaching students, and guiding careers. We have the professionalism and maturity to look beyond statistics, stereotypes, and clichés to identify characteristics that others might overlook and to comprehend each applicant’s full story. We will work hand in hand with you to craft a distinctive narrative and articulate your unique qualifications.

Personalization from Day One

At Accepted, the first person you meet won’t be a salesperson. Instead, you’ll speak directly with the consultant you select (or we help you select) for your free consultation, and that person will then either partner with you on the services you need or help you identify which of their colleagues would be the best individual for you to work with. Your consultant will review your submitted profile before your first call and be immediately ready to begin answering your questions, identifying the services that fit your needs, and drafting a calendar that will lead you to your best application. With a clear and established framework, you’ll have the transparency you need to proceed with confidence. We’ll collaborate with you from your initial conversation with a member of our team to the conclusion of your application process. And unlike many other firms, we are transparent with our pricing, posting our fees online, rather than hiding them until we can better assess what you are able to pay!

Many admissions consultancies concentrate more on getting you signed up for services than on collaborating with you to ensure your success. But Accepted is committed to delivering for our clients. What that means is that we have made a career of our work as admissions consultants. As your expert advisors, we will candidly highlight your strengths and weaknesses as a candidate and honestly assess your choice of target programs, sharing our constructive feedback when we believe you are being overly ambitious or your essays are veering off target. We will also support and motivate you throughout the application process to ensure that you maximize every written and spoken word.

A Range of Services

Do you have months or even years before you plan to apply to your target program? Or maybe just a few weeks? Do you want advice and guidance on the entire application process? Or do you simply need a professional to assess your personal statement or resume? No matter where you are in the application process or what type of assistance you need, Accepted is here to help. With comprehensive packages that span multiple years, a range of hourly options, and flat-rate, targeted services, we’re able to meet you where you are.

Success Since 1997

Accepted has been helping applicants for longer than most of our current clients have even been alive. As a team, we’ve assisted thousands of candidates in being accepted at top business schools, law schools, graduate schools, medical schools, healthcare programs, and colleges. And our past clients regularly recommend us to their siblings, children, nieces and nephews, friends, and colleagues. Simply put, we have a level of industry knowledge, expertise, and experience that no other admissions consulting firm can claim, which translates to a clear advantage for you in the application process.

AIGAC Membership

Accepted’s founder, Linda Abraham, was a cofounder and the first president of the Association of International Graduate Admissions Consultants (AIGAC), an industry organization that promotes professional standards and ethical guidelines in the industry. AIGAC members are vetted for acceptance, and admissions officers from the top business schools often brief members of the organization. Accepted is firmly committed to maintaining a high ethical standard, and this extends throughout our firm’s culture and suite of services.

The Accepted Edge

Partnering with a seasoned Accepted admissions consultant yields numerous benefits.

• Enhanced Likelihood of Acceptance to a Prestigious Institution: Attending a top-tier institution typically opens the door to a greater number of professional opportunities, higher earning potential, an expansive and valuable network, and a more tailored educational experience. From a financial perspective, this sets the stage for substantial long-term gains, potentially amounting to tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of dollars in additional income over the course of one’s career.
• Increased Chances of Receiving Scholarship Funds: By optimizing your application using input from an experienced and skilled admissions consultant, you increase the likelihood that you’ll receive scholarship funds. These can shave thousands off the cost of earning your desired degree.
• Avoidance of Reapplication Costs: When you factor in application fees and travel expenses, reapplying to schools can quickly become expensive, adding up to several thousand dollars. The stronger your application is on your first attempt, the less likely it is that you’ll need to invest this additional time and money later.
• Less Time, Stress, and Frustration: The admissions process can be time-consuming and stressful, not just for the applicant but also for the people in their support network. An expert admissions consultant can help you streamline the experience and avoid unnecessary detours and inefficiencies, thereby saving you valuable time and minimizing your anxiety.
