Acceptance

High school student and overachiever Taylor Rockefeller is weathering the storm of her senior year while at the same time struggling to cope with the stress of applying to her dream colleges. Complicating her life even further, her parents are on the verge of a breakup, and her mother, Nina, is focused on Taylor getting into a top school for the sole purpose of meeting a suitable husband. But when Taylor decides that the lowly ranked Yates College is the right choice for her, she and her mom face off over what is really best for her future happiness. Taylor’s close friends, Harry and Maya, also gunning for admission to top universities, are not above going to extremes themselves in order to be accepted into the schools of their choice. Together, the three friends and their modern-day, dysfunctional families navigate SAT scores, campus visits and school applications as they try to remain sane during the highly competitive process of college admissions that most American families with high school kids have to face.
