Client Success Stories

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 have without Scott’s guidance.

Working with the Personal MBA Coach team was the best decision I made. As a non-native speaker, Scott and the Personal MBA Coach team really helped me craft and refine my story throughout all the steps in the application process. The Personal MBA Coach team significantly enhanced my application storyline and was a fundamental help in preparing for interviews. In the end, I was admitted to all the schools I applied to (PT Kellogg and PT Booth), even getting a scholarship ($$) from one of them, with Personal MBA Coach’s help. I absolutely recommend working with their team. It’s a challenging and fun process, really worth the investment.

I wholeheartedly recommend Scott as an outstanding MBA consultant who played a pivotal role in turning my MBA dream into a reality. His expertise was invaluable in crafting a strategic application plan, prioritizing schools, and aligning my personal and professional preferences to maximize my chances. Scott’s detailed knowledge of various programs and his encouragement for deep reflection on my aspirations were instrumental. beHis team did a great job staying on top of things and keeping everything organized when it came to meeting deadlines. For those in search of a consultant who ensures a personalized application process and offers valuable insights, I highly endorse Scott.

I came to Scott and team with a short list of three schools I was interested in and the less common field of investment management as my post-MBA goal. He wasted no time in helping me articulate my story in a way that was authentic to me and highlights elements that were uniquely important to each of the programs I applied for. Through the multiple rounds of edits, he was able to strike a delicate balance between guiding me to elaborate and clarify where needed and still letting me tell my own story.

Scott and team are also tremendously helpful in the interview preparation process. The mock interviews gave me a taste of what the actual interviews were like and helped target my efforts in the areas that needed improvement the most.

Their experience and professionalism really shine through the entire time I worked with them. It was also reassuring to have Scott one email or one call away when I needed support.

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 his interviewing experts, who thoroughly prepared me for each interview.

I ended up getting into every single school that I applied to with many full rides, and am now in the position to choose between Stanford, Harvard, and Wharton. I can say with certainty that the best decision I made was to hire Personal MBA Coach.

Working with Personal MBA Coach helped me significantly throughout the application process. The team was there with me from square one all the way to the end – from choosing schools to final interview prep. I found that the structure and timeline created by working with Personal MBA really helped ensure that I did not procrastinate and provided good prompts to overcome any writer’s block that came up.

I do not have a very typical background, and had no experience of applying to US universities, so I do not think I would have gotten in anywhere without Personal MBA Coach’s help.

I found that the structure and personalized support offered by the Personal MBA Coach team was the perfect fit for me. I was by no means a “traditional” candidate, so I needed a lot of help navigating the MBA application process. Scott and his team have a very structured process in place for all aspects of the application process including essay writing, video essays, and interviews. They checked in with me consistently to make sure I was still moving forward when I was procrastinating and provided 110% support up until the very last minute I had to submit my applications. Their interview prep was excellent since they work so closely with folks who have actually done admissions interviews.

Throughout the last 16 months, I had a number of small questions from how to talk to adcoms to switching my recommenders, and always received a fast and helpful response from Scott and his team with guidance. In the end, I received interview invites to all five schools I applied to and have been accepted so far at three, with scholarships from two! I never imagined I would be accepted anywhere, much less have options, so I’m incredibly grateful for Scott and the Personal MBA Coach team!

The business school process can feel overwhelming at times, but Personal MBA Coach was a true partner in this process. I purchased Personal MBA Coach’s comprehensive package where I received support in terms of story development, essay feedback, and letter of recommendation guidance. Personal MBA Coach was always available to answer my questions and helped me stay on track to meet all of my application deadlines. I credit their services for helping me develop a strong and compelling application package.

I also took advantage of Personal MBA Coach for their GMAT/GRE services and found it to be extremely helpful. I studied for the GRE for several months on my own using a variety of study materials but failed to see a significant increase. I was frustrated and was unsure whether I could get into a top school.  After using Personal MBA Coach for three months, I saw a 10+ increase in my total GRE score. Personal MBA Coach tutors are smart, patient, kind, and dedicated to seeing their clients succeed. I highly recommend Personal MBA Coach GMAT/GRE services for prospective applicants that are looking for a significant score increase!

I ended up getting into all of the MBA schools I applied to with significant scholarships. I’m grateful that I chose Personal MBA Coach to help guide me through the business school journey.

The people at Personal MBA Coach were a crucial asset in my MBA application process. As a civil engineer, I was worried that my professional background would hinder me during the application process, but the advisors at Personal MBA Coach helped me turn it into an asset. Personal MBA Coach helped me put together a cohesive application that told an effective story to my target programs. Scott’s candid conversations really built trust, ultimately convincing me to take GMAT tutoring sessions as well as choose Berkeley.

I would highly recommend Personal MBA Coach to any professionals interested in pursuing an MBA. I especially appreciated their flexibility with my busy work schedule and my GMAT tutoring sessions, which I believe were fundamental to my score.
