Working With Personal MBA Coach
Wondering how Personal MBA Coach can help you? Find out from a current Bain & Company consultant.
I can’t recommend Scott and his team enough. They are extremely comprehensive, structured, and professional in their approach to guiding you. Applying to business school really forces you to introspect and ask yourself why you really want an MBA. Scott and co, really help you through this introspection process, and you kind of learn more about yourself in the process, and I think that’s why they are very good at what they do. I applied to only M7 schools + Haas, I got interviews from 5 and 1 admit (so far). Even the interview coaching was very structured. If I were a prospective MBA applicant, I wouldn’t think twice about going elsewhere, Scott is your guy.
Scott and his team at Personal MBA Coach were absolutely incredible to work with. As someone without a lot of connections with business school experience/aspirations, finding a consultant was an important step that I had decided on quite early in my application journey. After shopping around the different options for a bit, I chose to work with Scott and his team for a couple of different reasons: they provide extremely comprehensive support; I felt that Scott genuinely cared about my MBA journey, and they had a great track record for M7 programs.
Although it’s still early in application season, I’ve already been admitted to Columbia Business School ED, and I can say without a doubt that Scott and his team’s support has been instrumental in my success. From the start, they’ve been masterful in helping me craft my story, patient in my many essays and resume revisions, and honest in their recommendations from an admissions perspective. I initially had the least confidence in my essays, resume, and recommendations, and with the editing and proofreading team’s help, I am now as confident in those as ever.
Post application submissions, I was also able to do a mock interview with someone on Scott’s team; with the help of their feedback, my next-day interview went super smoothly! Not only did they allow me to practice my responses, but they also gave me insight into the purpose of the interview and recommendations on how to better tell my story.
Finally, I think what really sets Scott apart from the other admissions consultants is his accessibility — I’ve had many small questions pop up throughout my application process (ranging from financial aid, application strategy, logistics, etc), and he’s been very patient and prompt in his responses. I would highly recommend working with Scott and his team at Personal MBA Coach, and I’m already looking forward to hearing back from the rest of my schools!
I cannot recommend the Personal MBA Coach team enough! After talking with other companies, I chose Scott’s team; he was honest and genuine in sharing his thoughts about my profile and collaborated with me to design a plan. Scott assisted me throughout the process, worked with me to brainstorm essay ideas, and helped me re-gain confidence when I ran into some bumps during the application process. Huge shoutout to the entire team overall for the great mock interview experiences and fantastic essay edit suggestions! I’d highly recommend working with Personal MBA Coach.
Scott was fantastic to work with. His advice and guidance helped me build exceptional applications that truly expressed my voice and my story, especially helping me shape my vague goals into something that could be communicated more succinctly. He was also comfortable talking through why to go with his recommended approach when I had questions, which was very helpful. I got into 4/6 schools I applied to, including an M7, and got a full-ride scholarship to one school!
Scott Edinburgh, MJ Shores, and the rest of the Personal MBA Coach Team were my lifesavers during both the MBA prep and application process. They were candid, supportive, and provided timely feedback. Their industry knowledge and the personalized coaching they provide truly do extend past that of other consulting companies. I enthusiastically recommend the Personal MBA Coach team to all prospective MBA students – I can ensure you they will be there to help you each step of the way.
