Wharton & Chicago Booth Admit ’25 with $150K Scholarship
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... Read More
Wharton ’25
I really enjoyed working with MJ last fall, particularly for my Wharton interview. I attended a group practice TBD that she hosted and I found it extremely helpful. We also did one on one coaching. I went to my interview, feeling very prepared and confident, and I just started at Wharton this fall! Hiring a... Read More
Stanford GSB ’24
Scott and the rest of the team are fantastic. I felt thoroughly supported throughout the whole process and he always made sure to guide me (without ever generating material on my behalf or in any way distorting the application material I was writing). I couldn’t be happier that now, this fall, I’ll be headed to... Read More
Wharton ’25
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... Read More
MIT Sloan ’25
I was happy to work with Scott and his team. First, for their punctual edits and the necessary push to be on track. Second, for the genuine interest that Scott has in understanding our background and helping us prepare the right content for each school. Lastly, the mock interviews were amazing as each of my...

Chicago Booth ’28
Scott knows the MBA admission world. I was working on a time crunch, as I decided to apply to deferred MBA programs fairly last minute, but Scott was patient and very helpful regardless. His best trait is knowing when to say no and being straightforward. I like that he would never hesitate to tell me... Read More

Olivia | 6 School Admit

GPA: 4.0

GRE: 335

Years of Experience: 4

Gender: Female

Pre-MBA Industry: Finance

Ethnicity: White

Undergrad: Ivy League

Schools Accepted To: HBS, Stanford GSB, Wharton, Columbia Business School, Kellogg, UCLA

I was by no means an easy client. My testing saga ended up taking much longer than expected, and because of this, I ended up working with Scott and the team through R1 and R2. They never complained. While other firms I initially reached out to would not provide the flexibility for me to start working with them while still working through the testing, Scott had no problem with it. He also promised that I would have direct access to him, instead of someone who worked for him, as many of the other firms had arranged. After finally getting a strong test score under my belt, I was left with about a month to complete all of my applications. While Scott and the team typically recommend and request that the essays be near completion at this stage, they worked through each draft with me up until the final deadlines. There were countless drafts and emails exchanged between us. They answered every nitpicky question that I had in a timely fashion, even during the holidays. When it came time to interview, Scott set me up with...
Deeksha | Wharton, CBS & LBS

GPA: 8.9/10

GMAT: 750

Years of Experience: 5

Gender: Female

Pre-MBA Industry: Telecommunications

Ethnicity: Indian

Undergrad: Public Technical University

Schools Accepted To: Wharton, Columbia Business School, London Business School

One of the key reasons I chose Scott was the fact that he individually had a great track record and that I got to directly work with him, unlike other firms who had multiple consultants and there was the ambiguity of whether I would get a good consultant to work with. Scott has great clarity on how to approach the application for each of the schools and also offers great flexibility in the entire process. He made the entire process simple and easy to tackle, helping me apply to 6 schools in a satisfactory manner with time to spare (some other consultants I spoke with said the process is so complicated I could at max apply to 4 schools). The ability to apply to more schools reduced my risk of not getting admitted anywhere, and hence reduced the pressure on the entire process. Scott is very responsive and ensures he gets back for all communication within 2 days, even during weekends and holidays. Scott’s clear approach uniquely tailored to each school helped me get into LBS, CBS, and Wharton. I wouldn’t have had the success I...

Gender: Male

Ethnicity: White

Undergrad: Top 25 Private University

Schools Accepted To: Berkeley Goldman, Columbia SIPA, Harvard HKS

After a thorough due diligence process (I talked to the top 5 MBA/Masters consulting firms), I chose Personal MBA Coach for the certainty of working with a coach that had proven results and years of experience at the highest level. Scott is very good at helping you craft a story and then connecting all the dots of an application to make that story come alive. I had a general sense of why I was applying and what I was interested in but without Scott’s direction and structure it would have been hard to get to the final outcome. Also – Scott is meticulous, patient and efficient, all very important qualities if you are a working professional – like me – who needs to get a lot done in a short period of time. While applying to school, I kept working a very demanding consulting job and nonetheless managed to get through endless draft essays until I felt I had reached ‘perfection’. Ultimately, I was admitted in 4 of the top 5 programs I had applied to and I am so excited to have the opportunity to go...

GRE: 315-320

Years of Experience: 7

Gender: Female

Undergrad: Top 40 Private College

Schools Accepted To: Berkeley Haas, UVA Darden, Michigan Ross, USC Marshall, Texas McCombs

I decided to turn to Personal MBA Coach because I knew I needed support and structure in order to get through the MBA application process. From studying and taking the GRE, to writing essays, to coordinating recommendations, there is so much to do. Personal MBA Coach supported me by breaking down these tasks into manageable steps and suggesting what expectations I should have for myself in order to get there. It made a very daunting process much more doable. Testing has never been a strength of mine, so that was far and away the hardest part. Personal MBA Coach did a great job in laying out what needed to be done on my end in order to reach my goal. They also gave tips on how to study while also managing a full-time job. In the end, my score on the GRE increased about 12 points from my initial practice test. I’m so appreciative of the support I received on what was the most difficult part of the application process for me! Beyond the work around GRE studying, it was so helpful to have Personal MBA...

Undergrad: State School

Schools Accepted To: Wharton, UCLA

From day 1, Scott will give you the honest, non-sugar-coated advice that everybody needs. As a business school applicant, you need to understand what your strengths are as well as your weaknesses. Most consultants are good at telling you your strengths, but they are not as good at telling you your weaknesses as they do not want to upset you. Scott was different, and hence I decided to go with Scott and his team. Throughout the application process, I knew that I could rely on Personal MBA Coach as Scott was always there and would answer my emails/questions even during weekends or Christmas! From minor points in my overall story to locations I should select for my interviews, Scott would answer all my questions (no matter how minor and tedious they might be). I am now admitted by one of the top 3 programs in the US and will be matriculating this fall. I highly recommend Personal MBA Coach if you are looking for the best consultant in the industry as I know I probably would not have made it without Scott and his team.
Peter | 4 School Admit

GPA: 3.9

GMAT: 710

Years of Experience: 4

Pre-MBA Industry: Finance

Gender: Male

Ethnicity: White

Undergrad: Ivy League

Schools Accepted To: Harvard Business School, Wharton, Columbia Business School, Dartmouth Tuck

Personal MBA Coach was an incredible help. They started by learning about my background and goals. From there, we went through a personalized list of schools that they felt would be a good fit for me. Once we had the list, they helped by providing a GMAT tutor and working with me on the essays for each school. I would say the largest piece was the essays for each school! Personal MBA Coach was helpful in providing guidance and honest feedback, and I was thrilled with the results. Personal MBA Coach was very professional and responsive. The business school application process is a lot of work and can be difficult to navigate. Personal MBA Coach helped me every step of the way and made the process much less stressful. I would highly recommend this service and could not have gotten the results without their help!
