Bridging the gap between Academia & Digital Media

Kaelyn Grace Apple

History PhD Student | CEO of Accepted Consulting | Digital Entrepreneur & Coach

By age 27, I have pivoted from a professional athletics career as an equestrian, to working as a Biotech researcher in the Silicon Valley, and am now a PhD Student studying legal history at Yale University. Along my professional and academic journey, I have owned and operated several businesses (including a horse treat company called "Dolce Dream” at 16 and a successful academic consulting firm by 25). Through trial and error I have developed strategies for sustainable productivity, digital entrepreneurship, and cross-industry networking. I am dedicated to redefining contemporary scholarship and empowering students, researchers & professionals from across the world to create more efficient systems, build brands and monetize their expertise, and live up to their utmost potential.

Whether you are hoping to begin a personal brand, six figure business,

or side hustle, the time to get started leveraging digital media is now!

In 2019, I was a recent graduate from UCLA as a non-traditional community college transfer student. I had learned all there was to know about admissions, academia, and digital content creation through YouTube videos and was determined to share my story in hopes it would inspire others to pursue their dreams in higher education.

By March 2020, I had built a small online community through the creation of YouTube videos and Instagram posts and had simultaneously founded an academic consulting firm, which later became Accepted Consulting.

Now, in 2023 I have amassed an online community of 125K+ followers, assisted 600+ clients around the world gain acceptance to their dream universities and built a team of courageous and unapologetic trailblazers looking to transform the future of academia through scholarship (across disciplines) and digital media.

Begin with a Vision

Then Take Action


Three Steps to Success: Vision, Strategy, and Accountability

As Simon Sinek says, it all begins with your “why”. While working together we will indicate the vision you have for yourself, your future, and what strategies might work best for your long term goals. However, this is just the beginning. 92% of New Years Resolutions and lofty goals fail due to a lack of structure and accountability. This is why we will work together not just to indicate what paths might be available to you but also how to implement the steps in your day-to-day life.
