Scott was instrumental in my admittance into multiple T7 programs and scholarship awards. When faced with particularly demanding professional and personal demands leading up to round 1 applications, The Personal MBA Coach team was extremely flexible and generous with their time, working tirelessly with me to meet tight deadlines. From application/essay support to interview prep and scholarship negotiating strategy, Scott and his team were with me every step of the way. I owe much of my success to the thoughtful and tailored feedback that The Personal MBA Coach provided throughout the process and I would highly recommend Scott to aspiring students at all stages of their MBA journey.

Scott and his team are the absolute best! Scott has a ridiculous amount of knowledge about the MBA world, and for every school I applied to, I felt like I was given lots of very specific insights about what that school is looking for, how to approach their particular application, etc. The process of working with Personal MBA Coach is very efficient and comprehensive (including everything from rec letter reviews to mock interviews to infinite essay edits), which makes a complex admissions process far more manageable. Very satisfied with my outcome, and I could not have done it without the help of Scott and his team!

Scott and his team were true heroes in my MBA journey, I decided to apply last minute for the last rounds for LBS and Cambridge which meant I only had 1.5 weeks to work on my applications for the two schools. Scott and his team were instrumental in helping me flesh out my personal statement, goals, and essays. Without their help I don't think I would've gotten to where I am today. Within a week of submitting my applications I was invited to interviews to both schools, and recently I was accepted into Cambridge with a grant. Still waiting to hear back from LBS but this goes to show just how effective Scott and his team are. They were there every step of the way for my nonstop essay edits, interview prep questions, and career worries. Couldn't recommend a better team.

Initially, I thought I could handle my MBA application on my own. However, after being waitlisted at my dream school, Wharton, I realized I needed professional help to improve my chances of acceptance. I found Scott and his waitlist strategy package, and he was very responsive and gave me valuable tips and advice during our call. His suggestions were especially helpful since they contradicted some of the advice I had received from friends and family.

Scott’s experience working with Wharton waitlist applicants was evident, and I appreciated his straightforward and honest approach. After following his advice and getting his help with my update letter, I was thrilled to be accepted at Wharton about 1.5 months later. I’m so glad I signed up for Scott’s waitlist strategy. He’s a pro who’s been in the game for a long time, and he knows what he’s doing. I highly recommend Scott to anyone seeking help with their MBA applications, and I wish I had used his services from the beginning. Thanks for everything, Scott!

I was originally going to MBA programs next year, but Scott convinced me to take the plunge in round 3. I was initially very skeptical, given that it was already February and I had not even begun to study for, let alone take the gmat. However, Scott guided me through the entire process and helped me put together 5 applications in only two months. I ended up being admitted to 4/5 of my schools with scholarships, including my first choice, Chicago Booth. Thanks Scott!

I'd recommend this service to anyone who is applying to business school. Scott was super responsive and helped me craft my essays, even when I was struggling to articulate my own thoughts. I do not think I could have gotten through this application cycle without him.

Scott and his team worked with me day and night to craft the best version possible of my application. The result was that I was accepted to the two M7 schools I applied to. This was made possible by Personal MBA Coach even under a truncated timeline given I started the application process late in the summer. Scott was very helpful with providing guidance on any topic I asked about given his extensive experience in the space and despite the number of clients he works with I always felt like his team did a great job of remembering my story and helping me articulate it successfully in my applications.

As a medical doctor with an outsider view of the MBA landscape, Scott and his team helped pushed my application to the top level. To be honest, I didn’t speak with other consultants as I was sold on the deal after my first chat with Scott. He was sincere and genuine about my chances and where we needed to be as a team if I wanted a shot at the schools I was applying to. He was also readily available for phone calls and email chats within 48 hours when needed. With essay writing, the regular edits and push from the editors ensured that I introspected into why a sentence or paragraph belonged in my essay – that in turn, made me dig deeper into how I wanted to convey my story and journey as a medical doctor seeking an MBA. I have nothing but thanks and adulation for my essay editor(s). Secondly, my mock interviewers were the best, they helped me rework my answers to the behavioural questions to highlight the points I want conveyed. Overall, this was money well spent as I am going to an M7 with significant scholarship (+ I also got a T15 admit with 50% scholarship). Thank you, Scott and team!!!!

Scott and his team were instrumental during my MBA journey. He is extremely knowledgable about the admissions process and knew how to bring out the best in my application. Working with Scott and his team on school strategy to essays and interview prep despite some tight timelines was a smooth and structured process. I was worried about how things would go since I applied in Round 3/4 for programs from an overrepresented finance background, but Scott's transparent and unbiased feedback and support ultimately helped me to land five T15 interviews and admits for those schools. I was even able to receive a full ride from one and a half tuition scholarship from another. If you are considering applying for an MBA program, I highly recommend working with Scott and the Personal MBA Coach Team!!!!!

I cannot recommend Personal MBA Coach enough. I was admitted with scholarships to Booth, Kellogg, and Anderson.

I went to art school for my undergraduate degree, earning a BFA, and have worked in the film industry for a little over 5 years. With such an unconventional background, it was particularly important that I present a strong story in my application. Scott provided guidance to holistically craft my story through every aspect of the application, from what was on my resume to my essays and short answers.

His team helped polish my resume, by strengthening the way I bulleted my accomplishments at work. The school-specific interview prep was also super beneficial, helping me think of good experiences to pull from to provide examples to answer interview questions and structure my responses to be clear and easy to follow.

Beyond this, Scott was available at every step of the process to advise me about what schools would be the right fit for me, what story works best for each essay question, and whether I needed to retake the GMAT.

When I applied to MBA programs 3 years ago I was waitlisted at T20 schools. Personal MBA coach was 10000% worth the investment, especially considering I earned 180k total in scholarships from two M7 schools.
