Marco | 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 to Harvard. I highly recommend Scott who can really be the extra factor that determines if you get or don’t get into your dream school.
