Cornell MBA Future Leaders Program

I’m an enlisted military veteran, and I decided to work with Personal MBA Coach because I felt stuck in my corporate career and wasn’t sure how to frame my background in a compelling way for top schools. After speaking with a few consultancies, Personal MBA Coach stood out with their direct, no-nonsense approach, which was exactly what I was looking for.
I worked with MJ, and from the start, she was straightforward and kept me positively grounded throughout the process. She helped me stay on track with the game plan, focusing on my story, essays, and the overall package I was offering to schools. The toughest parts for me were defining my goals, refining my resume, and getting that first essay draft out. But working with MJ helped me solidify my narrative and move forward with confidence.
I also tend to feel socially awkward, especially in formal settings, and MJ was someone I could candidly ask things like, “What’s a good thing to say here?” or “What questions should I be asking?” That kind of support made a big difference. It helped me feel confident as I visited campuses and met with students, staff, and even deans.
She also gave me great insight into how to approach recommendation letters, which can be tricky, especially when you’re asking someone to essentially support your decision to leave the company. On top of all that, she helped me prepare for my Cornell interview, which ultimately paid off.
If you’re looking for a no-BS consultant who’s prompt, supportive, and highly effective, MJ is your gal. Highly recommend.

I knew I’d have a hard time applying to T15 schools because I, perhaps, didn’t have as strong of a profile as most other T15 applicants. So, I searched for consultants that not only would help me highlight my strengths but also help me strategically apply to schools. I’m grateful to share that Scott and his team truly went above and beyond to help me put my best foot forward, fine-tuning my story and USPs. He and his team were always very responsive, and tailored their feedback and suggestions to the many questions and challenges I faced when writing my essays. The team helped me craft and perfect my story and resume to show that I was more than just the sum of my numbers.

I was a bit skeptical reading all the five-star reviews, but Scott and his team live up to what his past clients have to say about him and the team. I was accepted to my first-choice school, Cornell Johnson with a $54k scholarship. I am so incredibly grateful to Scott and his team, I could not have done this without him. In the end, the scholarship money I’ll receive from Cornell paid for Scott’s services. I couldn’t recommend him more, A+!

Would highly recommend using Personal MBA Coach! Scott was great with helping me think about what business schools to apply to and advising on my candidacy. He also helped me on identifying my goals during business school and beyond, which will serve me well throughout my career. He was also helpful in advising me on my essays, especially on idea generation and essay formulation. There is a specific way to craft business school essays, and Scott and team knows exactly what it is. I also utilized him for waitlist advisory, where he helped me manage expectations.

I used Personal MBA Coach for 5 schools. While I initially had concerns about the price tag, I am ultimately glad I did it.

I had an amazing experience with Scott. He is willing to go above and beyond to help you throughout the admission process – regardless of where you are or what you need help with. Personally, he helped me with school selection, presenting my resume, essays, interview prep, and everything that happens in between. Scott and his team are always happy to answer any ad hoc questions I had and will jump on the phone day or night. Scott was an amazing resource to have and helped me get into my #1 choice. I strongly recommend other students to use Personal MBA Coach. Thank you, Scott!!
