Accepted stars Justin Long, Adam Herschman, Columbus Short, Maria Thayher, Jonah Hill, and Lewis Black. In this movie, Bartleby Gaines (Long) is a high school senior who is rejected from every college he applies to. He tries to convince his father he need not go to college in order to be successful, but to no avail. Bartleby's other friends, Glen (Herschman), Hands (Short), and Rory (Thayer), are in the same boat, and the four, with the help of their other friend Sherman (Hill), who was accepted into the prestigious Harmon College, create their own college using fake ID's and an abandoned mental institution which is located near the Harmon campus. They even recruit Sherman's uncle, Ben Lewis (Black), to be the Dean (Ben had worked in academia before but had a breakdown). Their scheme works, and the parents believe the South Harmon Institute of Technology (the name of the fake college) is a real college. However, their scheme works too well, and due to Sherman going too far with the college's website design (he made the "Acceptance is just a click away" link clickable), every rejected college applicant in the nation shows up at "South Harmon's" doorstep for orientation one day! Bartleby cannot find it in him to turn the students away, so they use the tuition money from the students to continue to upgrade their facility, which soon includes a skateboard half-pipe and an outdoor swimming pool. While the college appears to be one big party, the students actually are willing to learn, and Bartleby comes up with a way to have the students make their own cirriculum, as opposed to a "real" college where everything is highly structured - after touring Harmon College to get some insight as to how to run a college, Bartleby finds that the college experience really does not teach one to follow one's heart, and he aims to make South Harmon one that does.

Meanwhile, the administration at Harmon College seeks to buy out the property on which South Harmon is located so Harmon can expand its facilities. When Harmon is prevented from doing so, one of the students at Harmon tries to prove South Harmon is a fake.
