The Personal MBA Coach Team has been instrumental in my MBA admissions journey. They truly made it possible for me to achieve my long term dream of getting admitted to a top business school.

The team’s thorough knowledge of the entire application process and guidance on how best to position myself along with various nuances related to each school, The Personal MBA Coach really customized and supported me extensively throughout the MBA process.

I am a non-traditional MBA candidate, with a PhD and a little older than traditional applications that was discouraged by other MBA coaching and advisory services in terms of my aspirations of getting admitted to a full-time program. But once I spoke with Personal MBA Coach, he provided a lot of support and helped me build confidence to pursue the effort and clearly defined a working strategy for me specifically.

He and his team are thorough, diligent, pragmatic, and realistic. With my profile, he was very honest about what I need to work on to get to my target and how to go about it.

Unlike other MBA admissions advisory services, The Personal MBA Coach is truly personal and goes the extra mile to provide the best in class service, advisory, and support throughout the process of MBA admissions. They are available and ready to answer any question and very flexible in terms of scheduling.

Scott has a deep understanding of each school and what is needed for them to tailor the application in the best way. Throughout the process of working with Scott and the Personal MBA Coach team, I not only got admitted into the Full-Time MBA program – at the University of Chicago – Booth School of Business, but also developed key insights about myself, becoming a better writer, interviewee, and strategic thinker.

My sincerest thanks to the Personal MBA Coach and team and I strongly recommend working with this team if one truly wants to achieve their MBA goals and dreams.
