My experience with Natalie was absolutely OUTSTANDING! She’s amazing and I can’t speak highly enough of her. She helped me SO much and in really weird hours! She was super responsive, supportive and really helped me perfect my application. Just amazing!!
I am excited to share more good news. I was admitted to McCombs today with a [large] scholarship, which I believe is a full (or almost full) scholarship. I am pretty thrilled with the results and with that decision in, I have now been accepted to every school I interviewed with. I am certain that this wouldn’t have happened if it hadn’t been for Natalie’s tough and thorough interview prep sessions. I am not sure where I will end up but I could not have asked for a more positive result than this.
Natalie is a gift from the admission Gods to the very mortal applicant! I can’t imagine having to do this without her guidance.
I am writing to express my appreciation for Natalie as well as Accepted as I would never get admitted without Natalie’s help. I applied to Duke Fuqua school of business for its MBA program in R4 this year and received my offer on 18th June EST. I think that I was really lucky to have that consultation session with Natalie. She demonstrated exactly what a trustworthy and capable consultant would do. Instead of hard-selling, she showed the willingness to understand me as a person. Instead of focusing on the master application, she guided me on how I should approach my long-term career goal and how the MBA could be leveraged to help me achieve that. I had talked to other consultants before, but after chatting with Natalie, I knew that I do not need to explore further and that she is the consultant who I will work with. I bought the 1-school package the next day.
Throughout the application process, Natalie has been extremely resourceful, encouraging, and caring. She has answers to all my questions, including sensitive ones, and guided me on how to approach the MBA application strategically and wisely. Her review and advice on my application package are very precise and profound. She has been motivational. I always get energy from her whenever I doubt myself.
I believe that Natalie contributes a lot to Accepted’s branding, and I will never hesitate to recommend my friends to her for their B-school applications.
Booth was the first school that I applied for and Natalie’s coaching was instrumental. I did the hourly package with Natalie and she helped me to build a strong set of personal stories and professional achievements. To be frank, for my MBA application journey, I also had a bit of ’trial’ experience with other consultants. Natalie is the strongest and the most helpful I’ve worked with. Under the stress of the close deadline of Booth, we managed to work out two strong essays, which were essentially the core elements in my H/W application. Thus, Natalie was certainly the cornerstone of my R2 success. Also, I want to highlight that Natalie is one of the very few consultants that see me beyond stats. As a Chinese male with a below-average GMAT, I got advice from other consultants to apply for schools like North Carolina/ Georgetown. Natalie is one of the very few that believe that I actually have a shot at M7. I almost gave up my hope for H/W, but the essays out of Booth application made me believe that I’ve got something to offer.
Natalie is absolutely one of the very best people I have ever had the chance to get to know. I was blown away by how she sincerely cared about me through this challenging process. She was truly a godsend. Natalie helped me get acceptances to MIT Sloan, Kellogg, Tuck, and UCLA. Stop looking for a consultant, and consider yourself lucky if she has the availability to take you on as one of her clients! Thank you so much Natalie!
Natalie was instrumental in helping me formulate, mold, and present my stories in a polished and cohesive way. She also helped me negotiate and achieve 80% increase in scholarship offer which further enhanced the return on investment for Accepted’s services. I would be delighted to recommend Accepted’s services, especially Natalie’s. She was an invaluable resource to me in my business school applications. Although I could have probably produced good essays on my own with feedback from friends, I could not have developed them to the degree and quality that Natalie helped me achieve. I am extremely thankful to have worked with someone as insightful and wonderful as Natalie. She seems to also truly care about her clients and recognizes the importance of these applications to her clients during this critical junction of their lives.
I’m writing to share with you the good news: I’m accepted to HBS. I’d like to say millions of “thank yous” to you. I talked to my interviewer this morning, and she said I made a very good interview. Without your help, I wouldn’t be able to make such a good one. What’s more important is that I enjoyed working with you every time. You made me feel like a friend to you. Thank you Natalie!
I can’t say how thankful I am for your help during my admission process. Thank you for guiding me through the application process when I was lost, thank you for all the comments you had for every of my essay, thank you for encouraging me to keep following up with the school when I was about to give up, thank you for being there with me when I felt frustrated. I would not make it to my dream school today without you. Thank you!!
I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve been accepted to UM Ross, a program I love! I could not have done it without you, Natalie. Your guidance and candor was absolutely instrumental to my success. It’s been equal parts exhausting and rewarding. Linda, thank you so much for connecting me with Natalie in the first place. I look forward to even more good news in the near future.
I wanted to thank you and Natalie for all of your help these past two years. I got accepted into all three programs I applied to and received a 20K scholarship from my top choice. None of this would have been possible without your help. The service you and your team provided literally just paid for itself. I am extremely grateful. Thank you so much for all of your help.
Haas has been great; I interned at one of the MBB consultancies in the summer which I really enjoyed and ended up working part-time for a VC, which I am currently doing during term time. I’ve enjoyed the VC experience but think I am going to go with the consultancy so that I can get that under my belt for a few years. Thanks again with the application, I’m definitely glad I came out here and I couldn’t have done it without your help
Natalie is great to work with and she really took the time to get to know me and my application. I found her to be extremely knowledgeable, and she was just as invested in my results as I was. I was very lucky to have gotten her help. Thanks again for all of the support you provided. I have nothing but great things to say accepted.com.
I came across Accepted.com by coincidence when searching for business school forums. This accident, however, was the best decision I have ever made. I worked with two of your consultants, Todd and Natalie, for assistance with my applications for Booth and Johnson, respectively. Todd was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to help me with my waitlist materials during weekends, nights, and even over the Memorial Day holiday. I was given only 7 days to prepare all of my documents, and I wouldn’t have been able to get through that extremely stressful time period without Todd’s timely assistance and great advice. Todd referred me to Natalie, and I could not be happier that he did. When I came to Natalie, I was in desperate need for interview prep and I was struggling with convincing the school that I would succeed in their program despite my below-average GMAT score. With Natalie’s dedication and creative talents, she helped me nail my interview, reframe my strategy, and, a few days later, gain acceptance into the school! I owe this exciting new phase in my life to Natalie, because I know my application would not have been as strong without her help. Overall, I’m truly blessed to have worked with Todd and Natalie. They are stellar, and I will be sure to refer any friends to them. Please feel free to use my comments for the website.
I wanted to update you on my business school plans. I was just accepted to Northwestern off the wait list and I will be going to Kellogg in the fall. I am so excited about Kellogg and I am so thrilled to have this opportunity. I wanted you to know that there is no way I could have accomplished this without Natalie’s help. She has been a source of constant guidance and encouragement for me throughout this process. Natalie has believed in me and my potential from the beginning and she has been incredibly patient with me. When I started this process, I was essentially clueless and with Natalie’s help I have gained so much knowledge, not only about business but also about myself. I am so proud of how much I have grown in the past year and I know Natalie has played a huge role in my development. I think Accepted.com is incredibly fortunate to have Natalie on its staff. There is no doubt how much insight Natalie has into the admissions process, but what has impressed me the most is what a wonderful person she is. I look forward to keeping in contact with Natalie throughout my time at Kellogg and again, it has been a pleasure working with her.
I can’t even thank you enough for the invaluable expertise you provided. I feel really lucky that I was paired up with you. In the middle while talking to Christina… I almost felt like I was talking to you. I didn’t get stuck for even one second during the entire interview. I was able to answer most of the technical questions easily. My experience with you was amazing. My brother did my mock interview today, and said that he couldn’t even believe what an incredible improvement there was in just 2 days. My brother is an HBS alumnus.
I just wanted to say that it has been amazing working with Natalie on the application and the interview! She has been encouraging and supportive throughout the process, and I absolutely loved her ideas and feedback to give structure to my stories. I am glad I went with your service.
I truly appreciated your help… Without a doubt I couldn’t have done it without Natalie’s support. There are many institutions that help you in the admissions process, but the difference is the value added I found in accepted.com is the professional and human quality of the editors that you have working in your [ranks]. Natalie’s expertise in the subject is unquestionable… She has this unique way of playing the Devil’s advocate role when needed, trimming your essays until they are completely flawless. I just felt really comfortable working with her, our interactions were actually quite fun at some point. I am happy to say that our relationship evolved from editor-client relationship, to a friend-friend one.
Thanks so much for your help -you have been great! It’s been fun… I started this exercise not really enjoying writing and talking about myself. Over the weeks, I have come to enjoy the mornings I spent reviewing your edits and writing updates to the drafts. I never knew I had so much in me. Thanks so much for helping me discover my inner voice.
Natalie did an absolutely fantastic job and is a great addition to your company. And even though I purchased a relatively small package, she treated me with the utmost respect and gave me her full attention. I was accepted into Duke with [less-than-average experience and a low GPA], and I wholeheartedly believe I couldn’t of done so without her help.
Natalie was very professional from the beginning to the end. Her advice was invaluable and was essential in positioning myself for both my essay writing and interview process. She was always available when I had questions and she was my mental support during this very exhausting MBA application process. Knowing that I have someone who is as experienced as [she is] to give me advice made a significant difference, which eventually led to my successful admission to Chicago Booth. Natalie’s editing was excellent! She points out the obvious gaps in terms of the logic of my statements in my essays. After properly addressing her comments, my essays were significantly improved. Without her comments, my essays would lack the strength and impact that I intended them to have. I believe Accepted.com and Natalie have truly made a difference and contributed significantly to my ultimate success of going to the school that I wanted and realizing my dreams. I would definitely recommend Accepted.com to my friends and colleagues.
I want to inform you that I have been admitted to IMD! I got the call 24 hours after my interview from the director of admissions, informing me that I was outstanding on the interview day and that they did not have to think too much about admitting me. I am really excited and want to thank you for all your help! I really appreciate all your time and effort and am glad that all the hard work has finally paid off.
It has been a great experience working with Natalie. Her professional and “to the point” feedback helped me profoundly refine my essays. Natalie’s comments always encouraged and ignited new thoughts and enabled me to prepare my best possible application. I will certainly recommend Accepted.com and Natalie to every applicant.
I don’t even know how I would begin to express my appreciation to you for my Ross application process. This morning, I finally received an acceptance letter from the school. Without your help and dedication, I couldn’t achieve this. From now on, I won’t hesitate [to] recommend you to whoever [considers] pursuing an MBA.
Natalie!!! Thanks for all the unending support, and for crossing fingers toes and thumbs! I made it to Oxford!! I finally made it!!! I couldn’t have possibly done it without your guidance. Thank you so much! This was the prize I was hoping for!
I again want to thank you for the hard work with me. As I mentioned I worked with two other people in this process and you were without a doubt the most helpful. I felt your strategy, analysis, and insight were the best. Again I just wanted to say thank you!
Thank you very much for recommending Natalie to me. She has always been very helpful. Although she is my only consultant, which makes it difficult to compare with others, I do believe she is the best! Her professionalism, expertise and efficiency [are] really impressive. She builds up my success, and you know how important this is for a student at the life changing crossroad.
When I first started to applying for my MBA, I struggled deciding if I wanted to invest the money into a consultant. The process was already very expensive. However, I concluded that getting into a top program would have such a dramatic effect on my career, I would take the chance and invest the extra money. I can confidently state that working with Natalie Epstein was the best decision I made during the entire application process. I spoke with several different consulting companies before choosing Accepted.com. The conversations I had with the other companies seemed very impersonal and sales driven. However, Natalie took the time to really understand my background, why I wanted to pursue my MBA and my motivations for applying to different schools. Even after I purchased Accepted.com’s consulting package, Natalie continued with her very personal style and responded to my calls and emails quickly and thoughtfully. Natalie not only helped me to craft concise, meaningful stories from my background, but also was instrumental in helping me to prioritize schools based on my individual needs. Natalie truly embodied every positive connotation of the word consultant. Her advice and her ability to help me articulate my story, cater to my strengths and drill meticulously for my interviews were crucial. When I received my acceptance call from my top choice of programs, Natalie was one of the first people I called to share the news with. I wholeheartedly recommend Natalie and Accepted.com to anyone applying for their graduate degree. She is both a wonderful consultant and a wonderful person.
Wanted to drop a quick note that I have been accepted to Wharton, Booth, and Yale this year for MBA admissions. I wanted to thank you for your firm’s terrific service and particularly send my appreciation to Natalie, who has absolutely been the most fantastic MBA admissions consultant I have worked with.
Natalie was extremely strategic in crafting a specific and unique MBA application plan for me based on my profile, background, and career aspirations. She kept in close touch with me throughout the entire application cycle, and was absolutely patient, responsive, and critical in helping shape my resume, recommendation letter, application essay, and interview preparations. I can say that I will not have accomplished so much without Natalie’s wholehearted support and her top-notch strategic planning and counseling services. Natalie is definitely a blessing to my MBA admission and my success owes a great thank you to her fabulous service.
I wanted to take a moment to let you know how great of an experience I’ve had working with Natalie over the past several months. When I first started looking at MBA programs last year, I quickly realized that I needed a consultant to navigate the process. The process is much different than college applications, and I had no idea what schools I could reasonably aim for (especially with my nontraditional background). I started the process by calling as many consulting companies as I could and trying to get an understanding of where I stand through their free consultations. The first company I spoke with was an absolute disaster. I was told that I had a weak profile (in so many words), and that I needed to set my sights on lower tier schools. I was told to look at schools ranked ~30-50, and that my reach school should be a school ranked ~20-25, though that was still unlikely. A few weeks later I was referred to Natalie by a friend of mine who had worked with her a few years ago. My conversation with Natalie was completely different than the other admissions consultants I had spoken to. Natalie was very friendly, warm, and encouraging. We talked about the strengths and weaknesses of my profile, and she eventually decided that my reach school from the other consultant (~20-25) should be my backup school. While I still haven’t fully decided on which school I am going to attend, I have options available to me in top 20 programs with major scholarships, and I likely will be taking a spot at Booth, something that I never thought would be possible when I first started looking at MBA programs. I can’t emphasize enough how great of an asset Natalie has been for me throughout my application process, and I will definitely be recommending her to anyone I know who is looking to apply to business school!
I also found out this morning that I received a [significant] scholarship from Darden as well. Natalie has been incredibly helpful and I really don’t think I could have gotten accepted without her. I can’t emphasize enough how valuable she has been with crafting a brand for myself despite my unconventional career background. I will definitely be recommending her to all of my friends who are considering an MBA as well.
Thanks to your amazing help, I was invited to interview at all 4 schools I applied to!!! I was very happy with this. A few weeks after my interviews, I got a phone call telling me that I had been accepted to INSEAD!!! Even before I got the email from INSEAD, I felt a winner. With all the positive answers I’ve had received from each school to which I applied, I felt like I was better than I ever thought I could be. Thanks to you and this process, I’ve learnt so much about myself and I’ve got a huge amount of confidence. I still can’t believe I’ll be going to INSEAD, this is a bit surreal. As INSEAD was my top choice, I withdrew my candidacy from the other top MBA programs in the US and Europe. I’m now eager to take on the world so I can one day give back to all those people who’ve believed in me like you. In any case you have truly and hugely contributed to this step which has and will continue to change my life. For this I want to thank you with all my heart.
I just wanted to let you know that I have been officially accepted to the 2+2 program. I can’t thank you enough for all the help you have given me over these past few months. You really have been invaluable in this process, and instrumental in my acceptance.
Thanks Natalie! I was actually thinking of emailing you to ask your waitlist advice, but then I got the Stanford call from Derrick Bolton! It was surreal. I’m ecstatic! I think Stanford is ultimately the best fit for me. It was always my #1, but seemed like the hardest to get into! I’m so happy. Thanks again for your help. Now, I’m just looking forward to finally going to business school!
I used Natalie almost exclusively for macro level guidance. Her insight and experience was invaluable. She presented thoughts well, helped me expand on my own ideas, and craft a stronger story.
I GOT INTO WHARTON!!!!!! Thank you Natalie!! I could not have done it without your precious help! I received a nice fellowship too :) :) Also accepted to Columbia , Booth, and LBS.
I’m very excited to attend Wharton on a fellowship and couldn’t have done it without Natalie and Accepted’s guidance!
I really want to thank Accepted for the support in the process. If it was not for Natalie’s advice I wouldn’t have met any of the dates. I was kind of lost in the process.. I received strong support and orientation from Natalie in this process. She demonstrated to be professional and willing to help me at any time. I truly feel lucky you assigned her to be my editor. At first, my essays were tremendously out of structure and ideas. Natalie focused me and allowed me to “sell myself” better. I brought up several points in my applications that I would have never done if it was not for her. Her experience in the field really makes a difference. I’ve applied to four business schools now. I’m positive that with these strong essays I will be accepted in one of these programs.
I JUST got the confirmation that I’ve been accepted at Columbia--I’m SO excited!!! THANK YOU so much for all of your time and effort to help me. I feel like I learned so much more about myself and goals than just applying to a school because of you.
My experience with Accepted has been great. Natalie has been extremely helpful and insightful. Her suggestions and edits have made my application stronger. Natalie’s enthusiasm is refreshing and has greatly increased my confidence in my essays. I would definitely recommend Natalie to anyone who is looking for assistance.
Natalie knows what top Admissions Directors look for, because she was one. She brings her years of experience, her contacts, and her own personal warmth to every session. Well worth it!
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your efforts on my application process.My experience with you has been so personalized and transparent that throughout the process I strongly felt that I have earned a great friend and a strong mentor. I so adore and respect the way you have guided me and, whenever required, admonished me. I have made significant discoveries about how I can harness my own power and this is the biggest learning that will stay with me. Irrespective of the results, I am more confident than ever and due credit goes to you. I will always cherish the experience and will always come back to you for guidance.
I just heard from Sloan and I am in! Thank you so much for all your help through the application process! I couldn’t have done it without your guidance!
I am so glad I contacted Accepted.com and they put me in touch with you. Thanks to you, my essays are crisper and interview answers more polished.
Nat! I just got the call! OMG! I’m in!!! Yeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaa! Thank you for all your hard work and patience! We made it!
I was just informed that I got accepted to my top MBA school! Thank you so much for all your help with my application. Your assistance was invaluable! I am glad I used your services during my admissions process.
Natalie was a great help for me. Not only did she do a great job with the essays, but she was a huge help in focusing my career goals. There was a night and day difference between my applications this year and last year.
I want to let you know that it was a fabulous experience working with Natalie over the past one year. She helped me last November with my application to Columbia and in March of this year with my application to IMD. I truly feel that working with Natalie gave me an advantage over many other applicants and without her in my corner I don’t think I would have been admitted to IMD. She served as an excellent sounding board for ideas about how to best position myself in the essays. I always felt like I was working with a close friend through my essays and application. She provided a fresh assessment of my drafts and never failed to suggest areas of improvements that were caught by her trained, to say the least, eye! Natalie not only helped my complete my essays in short notice but also went out of her way to help me with my interview prep for IMD. After speaking with her for almost an hour over the phone, I felt very comfortable and prepared for the challenging IMD interview day. Natalie, Thank you once again for everything.
Accepted has been great and Natalie is amazing. She is extremely knowledgeable and helps me to think about things from an entirely different viewpoint, which leads to me being able to present myself in the best way possible. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to work with. Her performance all-around was great. I would definitely recommend her to others.
Natalie was incredibly helpful, and her assistance played a big part in the decision to accept my admission offer and go back to school. I am grateful for having had the opportunity to work with her. Accepted’s service is one of the best investments I can remember making, and I would strongly recommend it to anyone I know who is considering business school. .
I am writing to tell you that I was admitted to the Masters Program in Management Science and Engineering at Stanford! Thank you so much for helping me out with the SOP. I couldn’t have made it this far without your help.
I got into Wharton!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SOO MUCH FOR THE INTERVIEW PREP!!!!!! IT HELPED INCREDIBLY!!!!!!!!!
Natalie, I just spoke with Columbia!! I’ve been accepted!!!!! Thank you THANK YOU for all your guidance, wisdom, support, encouragement. I could not have done this without you. Thank you!!!!
I wanted to take a moment and thank you for helping me out this year. With an extremely low GMAT, below average GPA and degree from a low ranked university, I am extremely blessed to be attending a top business school. This shows that with hard work and an amazing support cast like you, ANYTHING is possible in this world. My admission would not have happened without your guidance. I hired you as a consultant in January not knowing that you will also turn out to be a doctor and an angel. I will always be grateful for everything you have done for me this year. I know I asked you million questions over the past 10 months, some intelligent, but mostly silly and you were always gracious in providing a valuable answer. Please let me know if can be of any help. If you have any future clients who wants to connect with a Duke MBA, please send them my way. Please keep in touch!
This is a time for all of us to celebrate. I truly appreciate your team at Accepted. I really could not have done it without Natalie. She really knew how to pull the best out of me and how to position my experiences in a way that fits the culture and values of each school.
I am not sure if she told you this, but before I reached out to Accepted, I had talked to other consultants from other companies, and almost all would say that I didn’t even have a chance for any of the M7 schools. Natalie was the only one who not only believed in me but also encouraged me to apply to Stanford even though I was against it at first, because I thought that my chances were slim, at best. It’s unbelievable to think that I would not have applied to Stanford if it wasn’t for her!!
I just want to thank you and your team and Natalie for all your support. I had such an amazing experience working with Natalie. After working with someone from another consulting company last year, I was hesitant to take a chance on a different consulting company, but I took a risk and it was the best decision I made. She changed my view of this type of service and the impact it can make on someone’s life. I already have recommended her to some friends of mine who were thinking of applying for an MBA.
It’s been a pleasure working with your company and I’m forever thankful.
I wanted to reach out and share that the impossible just became possible, because I was offered admission to MIT’s TIES Program!!!! There have been a lot of happy tears on my end as I still try to process this news (I was still in the process of processing the fact I was invited to an interview), but IT’S HAPPENING :)
I really cannot thank you enough for taking the time out of your busy schedule to have those video calls in sharing your expertise on the interview process. I think the one thing I have always struggled with was in simply selling myself. I still sometimes see myself as that student who was always trying to catch up to the level of knowledge my peers had. I didn’t have that parent or role model to help me figure out the next best step in my career… but, somehow I made it, and I am beyond excited to have this opportunity to enter a PhD program finally equipped to not constantly feel like I am in catch-up mode, and finally able to focus my 100% attention on my studies and research. There was nothing I wanted more than to have that.
Your advice and support meant the world to me! I will never forget this.
I have decided to attend USC. Thanks again for everything. USC seemed like such a long shot for me when we started, but you believed in me the entire time. Your edits were so thoughtful and your expertise was just what I needed to make it into my dream school. I couldn’t have done it without your help!!!
I wanted to let you know that I finally heard back from the Marshall school of Business and I was admitted for spring of 2024! I am super excited! I want to thank you again for all of your help and guidance that made the college-application and decision process so much easier. I wish you all the best and will continue to update you on my USC journey!
Wanted to drop you a line saying hi from Yale and to let you know my first few months at the SOM have been awesome! As you can probably imagine, it’s been a whirlwind of academics/socializing. I’m now looking forward to finishing my core courses to hit the ground running on data science electives across the university. I feel like the flexibility offered by the SOM, and the general open-mindedness I come across here make it the best MBA for me.
My small cohort includes a Google software manager, a SpaceX mechanical engineer, a Goldman Sachs I-banker, several McKinsey consultants, a NASA executive, an active duty Navy Seal, a chess grandmaster, many incredible non-profit founders/managers, and everything. Thank you again for helping me get here.
I was just thinking about you so thought I would reach out. I wanted to thank you again for all of the support you provided me. I absolutely love USC and couldn’t have chosen a better fit for college! It is such a great balance of strong academics and a fun social events! I know I wouldn’t be here without your help, so thank you so much again for all of your assistance and guidance.
I ended up choosing Pitt. It was the best fit for me and the faculty so far have been amazing so I feel like I made a good choice. Thank you so much for your help I really could not have done it without you. I will definitely be coming back to you for any future endeavors. You are by far the best person I could have worked with during this process.
