What Is Included in the Comprehensive MBA Admissions Package?

The Personal MBA Coach comprehensive package gives you the level of assistance you need to submit the best application possible yielding the highest scholarships in the industry.

This includes full support via email, phone, Skype or in-person meetings. You and your consultant will analyze your goals to come up with a plan for advancing your career. We work from day 1 until you can decide what admission offer to accept. Our comprehensive package is personalized and tailored to your schedule.

Review the details below to learn more about what our consultants include with the comprehensive package:

1. Application Strategy & Story Development
Personal MBA Coach consultants learn more about your background and develop a thorough application strategy for you to follow, helping fine-tune your educational goals and articulate your distinct story. This includes compiling a list of schools you want to attend. Your consultant will review your credentials and work experience to help you identify what programs make sense for you based on factors like your test score, grades, scholarship desires, desired study location and more.
2. Resume Review
Structure your MBA resume using our provided templates. We will go over your education and career accomplishments to paint an accurate picture of you on paper and make sure to turn your professional resume into an MBA resume that resonates with admissions directors. Our experts will help edit your resume so that it follows the correct format and uses effective language throughout. The Personal MBA Coach team knows what top schools are looking for when admitting students into their programs, so we make sure you stand out by including only important resume details.
3. Essay Brainstorming and Unlimited Essay Editing
Building from your personal story, you will partner with your admissions consultant to brainstorm topics and develop award-winning essays that allow you to stand out among other applicants. We provide you with school-specific insider knowledge as to what MBA programs are looking for in MBA application essays. You can submit your admissions essay and short-answer responses to us as many times as it takes to get them right. We provide you with feedback in two days and work seven days a week. We will check that you answer questions fully and provide enough detail to impress application essay reviewers. Count on Personal MBA Coach to catch spelling and grammar mistakes before the final submission of your personal development pieces.
4. Video Essay Feedback
Some of the leading MBA programs in the U.S., Europe and Canada require a video essay submission. For the live videos (Kellogg, Yale SOM, INSEAD, LBS (for LBS interviewees) and others), we will send you software that you can use to practice sample video questions on your own. Your consultant will inform you how to use live video software for practicing independently. Personal MBA Coach comprehensive packages involve sharing feedback on sample recordings to improve your confidence and perfect your video delivery.
5. Letter of Recommendation Support
To enhance your overall application, we will guide you through the process of selecting which one of your contacts is best suited to write your letters of recommendation. Our consultants will help you develop the best timing and approach for reaching out and determine how much information and guidance your contact will need to write a letter that aligns with your overall application.
6. Interview Preparation
Personal MBA Coach organizes mock interviews with former M7 and T10 admissions interviewers from our team. Our interviewers provide you with written feedback to help you hone your skills. You have the option to participate in group interviews as well to grow your skills for all interview structures. For Wharton and Ross, we will conduct group mock interviews with former group interviewers. Interview support includes editing of MIT Sloan pre-interview essays, viewing of Chicago Booth's video essays and support with Harvard Business School’s post-interview reflection.
7. Pre/Post Interview Essay Editing
Harvard Business School, Chicago Booth and MIT Sloan ask that some candidates selected to interview submit an additional essay or video for their MBA program applications. Our personalized MBA admissions services in our comprehensive package include editing your follow-up written or recorded pieces. We will verify that your writing and speaking tone is consistent during the application process so that everything you submit is of the highest quality.
8. Waitlist Strategy & Post Acceptance Support
Our relationship does not end when you hit submit. Whether you are accepted or waitlisted, we will continue our personal support. Find out how and when to reach out to get off the waitlist, receive guidance on your waitlist update and get our advice on which school best suits your goals. We will connect you with former clients at your future school and across all schools as you join the small Personal MBA Coach alumni family and attend Personal MBA Coach alumni networking events.

Fabulous! As a non-native English speaker, I was very worried about applications. Besides putting me at ease, Scott helped me in my crazy dream to attend a top US business school.

Wharton
I decided to work with Scott after doing consultations with four other firms. I was very disillusioned about the industry and wasn’t sure if I even wanted to work with anyone.

After meeting with and chatting with over 7 MBA admissions consultants, ranging from the biggest brand names to the smallest independents, I decided to go with Scott, Personal MBA Coach, as my advisor for 8 schools.

London Business School
Unsure of the differences between the European and the US business schools, I first reached out to Scott for guidance on where to apply.

Harvard Business School
We all think we understand how to put together an application, but until one engages in the detailed revisions, it is difficult to understand the benefit of a professional such as Scott. Scott kept me honest and forced me to think outside the box. Getting the HBS acceptance was worth every minute, and I could... Read More
Wharton
I give my highest possible recommendation for Scott; I would and have wholeheartedly recommended him to my closest friends.

Scott helped me with school selection and resume prep while I was also on the waitlist for the previous year.

Columbia Business School
I have a GPA that falls in the bottom 20% of my target schools, and a GMAT of 710. My non-traditional background made my profile relatively risky.
