One thing stands between you and your dream school

You sit staring at a half-written essay on your laptop. “I sound like everyone else,” you think to yourself. You glance around nervously, seeing your peers with similar or better grades, test scores, and activities than you. If you don’t differentiate yourself now, the consequences are clear. You remember the late-night study sessions and early morning practices and think about where you want to end up for the next four years. If you don’t master the task ahead of you right now, these moments might have been for nothing. You only have one shot, but you can do this.

What if?

If you can write a standout college application, you’ll:

  • Get into your dream school

  • Win more scholarship money

  • Release your stress and anxiety

  • Boost your self-confidence

  • Gain clarity on your future goals

What students say

“Getting on board with Acceptitas was one of my best decisions I made as a rising senior. During this stressful time of applying to college, Acceptitas made the process so much easier. Emmet and the Acceptitas team were so understanding and cooperative and helped me improve my college apps more than I thought was possible. This team is amazing. I’m so grateful for all their assistance and I couldn’t have gotten into my first choice without them! Juniors and seniors: if you want to get your apps out of the way and save yourself tons of stress and literal tears, I couldn’t more highly recommend Acceptitas.”

Andrea R.

“The support and encouragement Acceptitas gave me definitely boosted my application and my confidence. In my final submission, they were along with me with everything they got. It’s rare to find their level of dedication and overall helpfulness. Their responsiveness was almost scary fast, which made it easy to get all my questions answered. If you haven't submitted your applications or are planning to apply next year, Acceptitas is right for you. Trust me, you won't regret it--you can thank me later!”

Robbie B.

“I didn’t realize how much I could do as a junior to get ahead until I joined Acceptitas. Their level of detail is wild. If you’re the kind of person who wants to make sure you get each part of your college apps right, you need to check them out. I’m confident that the head start I got from Acceptitas junior year already gives me a big advantage.”

Ajay B.

“Acceptitas's advice was invaluable in the college application process and took a lot of stress off me and kept me focused. When they said they’d help me get into my top school, I was skeptical because of my grades, but that’s exactly what they did for me! They really kept me on track and guided me to the completion of all my essays and applications. I would do it again every time.”

Eli F.

“Acceptitas gave me peace of mind that we were doing everything that needed to be done. They did a phenomenal job with my son and tremendously helped navigate a complicated application process.”

Erica J.

“Thanks for all your help! We're really pleased with our son's progress. I truly appreciate it and I know it's helping him stay on track with his objectives and goals!”

Jessica G.

“The Acceptitas team was super helpful with finalizing my essays and overall application strategy. My essays improved many times over from when I joined Acceptitas. I am thrilled with all their feedback! Also, everyone is just super nice, flexible, and encouraging, which was an amazing thing to have when I was stressed-out -- I definitely recommend!”

Lillie A.

“My essays and application story are so much stronger in places I didn’t even know to look! I feel way less stressed going into the summer and senior fall with all my college apps basically completed. Thanks!!”

Kimberly H.

Meet Your Instructor

Hacking Your College Apps is taught by Acceptitas founder, CEO, and guy who already KNOWS you can do it, Emmet Halm. Emmet spent years studying the college process and deeply analyzed and applied the best practices he and his Harvard classmates used to gain admission into top schools across the globe. What resulted is an inspiringly powerful methodology that has worked spectacularly for hundreds of students and will for you too. Emmet knows what it’s like to spend late nights stressing over how to stand out, with the dream of college just one step out of your grasp. But more importantly, he knows the rush of emotions from creating a college application so unique, so inspiring, so YOU, that you can’t help but smile in sheer excitement. Now he’s here to guide you along your journey and transform you into an acceptance-receiving machine.

“Acceptitas is truly an outstanding organization. I received guidance from Emmet. At first, I was unsure what to expect and thought that my Common App and supplemental essays would be met with criticism from a Harvard student. However, Emmet provided me with constructive and sincere advice throughout the process. Especially as a first-generation college student, I found Acceptitas to be extremely helpful in guiding me in the right direction, managing my time, and prioritizing my goals in the application process. Emmet was flexible with our personal meetings and very down to earth, and I am certain that his help had a huge impact on the outcome of my applications. I am extremely grateful for Acceptitas and would recommend it to anyone who takes their college applications seriously and crafts them carefully. Thank you, Emmet!”

Giorgio R.

“The help I received from Acceptitas during my application process senior year was a resource that undeniably helped me with my writing process and presenting myself to my top colleges. Working with Emmet and Acceptitas gave me a massive confidence boost knowing that I’m receiving advice from the smartest students in the country. Emmet’s ability to create a program that encompasses all the necessary tools to keep me organized and on schedule during a rigorous school schedule was priceless and took the stress off procrastinating. The luxury of having Acceptitas was worth every penny knowing I received the best help I could on my schedule which makes working with Acceptitas a blessing during senior year.”

Andrew A.

Everything You Need In One Place

Never worry about missing an opportunity to stand out again. Emmet will meticulously walk you through how to take advantage of every section of your college applications, from your essays and resume to the seemingly small, but important details on the Common Application. But you won’t just learn about techniques and strategies. You will put them into practice EVERY SINGLE UNIT, with personalized exercises, action steps, live-feedback, and mentoring to produce the glowing college application that your hard work deserves.


The curriculum centers around the all-important question: what’s your story? The beginning of the course is designed to uncover the turning points in your life, the small things that make you unique, and the dreams that you keep marching towards a bright future. You will emerge from this section of the course with a bullet-proof understanding of yourself, your life story, your biggest assets, and most importantly, how you can concisely convey this to college admissions officers. For most competitive colleges if the admissions officer likes your application they will write down 2-3 sentences about you. These 2-3 sentences are what the admissions committee uses to judge your fate. So why put all that power in their hands? In Hacking Your College Applications you will create your 2-3 sentence narrative and apply it to each part of your college application in such a foolproof way so that YOU ARE IN CONTROL every time. Without our techniques, you’re letting random chance decide your future.


Once you’ve unlocked your narrative at the beginning of the course, it’s time to execute and build it up across every last section and detail of your college application. Each unit, we focus on one aspect of your college application and work with you step-by-step to maximize your effectiveness in each section. No stone will be left unturned, no opportunities missed. When you work alongside Emmet, you can have ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY that you are using every single tool at your disposal to get you closer to yelling the magic words, “I got in!”

FAQ

  • “Will this really improve my chances of getting in?”

    Yes! Our course has been expertly designed to help you leverage every part of your college application to your advantage. The tools and techniques you’ll use in this course come directly from students at the world’s top universities and have worked for hundreds of Acceptitas students.

  • “I don’t know if it’s the right time of year to think about my college apps.”

    If you want to be serious about getting into your top colleges, then it’s always college application season. Starting early is a huge advantage, as you have more time to process and build your narrative, edit your essays, prep for your interviews, etc. Every passing day is a missed opportunity to get yourself closer to your goal, so the perfect time to start is right now.

  • “I’m a junior. Do I really need to be planning out my college applications now?”

    It is HIGHLY recommended that you begin your college applications during your junior year. The amount of mental effort, patience, and dedication needed to create a unique, personal, and powerful college application simply takes time. The longer you prepare, the more prepared you will be. Use time to your advantage before it goes away.

  • “I’ve already started my college applications. Will I still benefit?”

    Absolutely! You may have even more to gain, as you can run your current materials through the rigorous techniques and exercises of our course to make them many times stronger and more effective. Also, many students rush to start their college apps without taking the time to identify their specific narrative. This course will make sure you build from your narrative up and avoid the trap of having loosely-connected parts of your college apps.

  • “I’m already receiving help on my college apps from a school / private counselor. How will this help me?”

    School counselors have dozens, hundreds, or sometimes thousands of students they have to assist, meaning that you’re not getting the personal attention you deserve. With Hack Your College Apps you receive personalized attention through 1-on-1 coaching sessions, office hours, essay editing, mentoring groups, and personalized resources to go along with each unit. Additionally, our strategies and techniques are THE most up-to-date and effective methods for building a stellar college application, created from studying and teaching what works with top-performing students NOW at schools like Harvard, Stanford, and NYU. Don’t risk using out-of-date techniques and information when you can have access to the most up-to-date and personal assistance out there with just a tap of your finger.

  • “Will I still have to hire an expensive tutor or go to my guidance counselor to help me with college apps?”

    No! As explained above, we’ll give you everything you need. But still check in with your guidance counselor, as they are usually cool people! They can also help you handle the logistics of sending your transcripts, etc. As for expensive tutors, they charge too much, which is why we created this course.

  • “Can you help me select which colleges to apply to?”

    Definitely! This is one of the reasons why you’ll receive 1-on-1 coaching, office hours, mentorship, and email access to the instructor, Emmet. We’ll help you make your list, pick your strategy, and execute perfectly!

  • “Can you help me improve my SAT/ACT score?”

    Yes! That’s why we’ve included our Expert SAT/ACT Study Strategy Course for free when you enroll! This course has helped many students, including Emmet himself, drastically improve their scores, while saving them time and money spent on workbooks and tutors.
