Testimonials

I worked with Scott on a package for five schools—all M7—and was accepted to every one of them. Overall, I applied to 11 schools, received interview invitations from 10, and was accepted to 9. Scott provided clear, strategic guidance that helped me shape compelling short- and long-term goals. His essay editing process, in particular, pushed me to be deeply introspective—it challenged me to reflect on my experiences, values, and motivations in a way that not only strengthened my application but helped me grow as a candidate and person. With his support, I received a full scholarship to my second-choice school and was admitted to my top choice. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Working with Scott and his team at Personal MBA Coach was one of the best decisions I made during the application process. They were incredibly responsive, insightful, and exceeded every expectation I had going in. Whatever qualities you’re looking for in an MBA admissions consultant—whether it’s strategic guidance, honest feedback, or personalized support—I can confidently say Scott and his team deliver on all fronts and then some.

Despite a low undergraduate GPA from a school better known for athletics than academics, and professional experience rooted in a family business, Scott helped me craft a compelling and authentic narrative that truly resonated with the programs I applied to. I’m certain I wouldn’t have reached my goal of attending an M7 school without his guidance.

Yes, working with an MBA consultant is a significant investment, and Scott is no exception. But in my case, it more than paid for itself—not just in terms of the scholarships I received, but in the long-term return of attending a top program.

If you’re serious about getting into a top MBA program, I wholeheartedly recommend Scott and Personal MBA Coach. Like me, you won’t regret it.

Scott provided extremely valuable insight throughout the application process – from our first call to final check-in before decisions. He and his team are extremely responsive, help you stay on track, and provide extremely valuable insight into school specific applications. I would 100% use again and recommend Scott to anyone applying.

After researching several different MBA prep programs, I decided to go with Scott and his team. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Scott and his team possess a different level of industry knowledge and an ability to support their clients like no other. Their support helped me to get into my top choice as well as several other programs I applied to!

Scott and his team were instrumental in guiding me through the MBA application process, helping me secure a spot at HBS. From the very first consultation, Scott took the time to truly understand my story and career aspirations. His team pushed me to dig deeper and highlight experiences that I hadn’t initially recognized as impactful, helping me craft a compelling and cohesive narrative.

The process was efficient and thorough, with clear milestones to track progress on essays, resumes, and interview prep. I especially appreciated his candid feedback and his ability to challenge me to refine my ideas while staying true to my voice.

I cannot recommend Scott and his team highly enough for anyone aiming for top business schools. Their expertise and dedication truly make a difference. Without them, I would not be heading to HBS next year!

I worked with Scott and was accepted to both GSB + HBS. He’s extremely knowledgable about what the schools are looking for and always available to help with any questions or concerns you have. I found our brainstorming calls to be very helpful and the editing team made my applications very sharp.

Scott and his team provide exceptional support throughout the MBA application process. They are particularly effective in helping candidates clarify their goals, articulate their personal stories, and refine their application strategies. The guidance on essay writing stands out—they won’t do the work for you, but instead help you present your unique narrative in a clear and compelling way. For those who struggle with writing, especially non-traditional candidates or those from technical backgrounds, Scott’s team excels at transforming rough drafts into polished essays that truly shine.

Working with Scott made the whole MBA application process feel a lot less overwhelming. He was super thoughtful and gave honest feedback. The mock interviews with his team were especially helpful, they gave me the confidence I needed going into the actual interviews. Would absolutely recommend working with him.

The first time I applied for business school, I thought I was a shoo-in—high test scores, ample industry experience in managerial positions, and recommenders who loved me. But it turns out that a shopping list of achievements isn’t the secret formula to being a successful applicant. I got rejected from all the schools that I applied to.
Back then, I was subscribed to Scott’s newsletter, and to be honest, I was so sure that I would get in that I ignored all the content/tips posted in it. After receiving all the rejection letters, I took a few days to reflect on why I failed and realized I needed a coach. I immediately opened the latest newsletter I had received and contacted Scott.
From my first email and call with him, I knew this was the help I needed to turn my great shopping list into a great application. The catalyst for this transformation was the vital insider knowledge that Scott and his team had from their intimate relationships with top adcom. A true testament to their ability to synthesize this knowledge was their comprehensive essay guides that helped me shape my story as a candidate. When it came to interviews, I was yet again blown away by the resources Scott offered. I received personal coaching from former interviewers from the schools I applied to!
To summarize, it’s not only the resources and knowledge that Scott and his team have to offer. It’s their approach that ultimately led to me going to GSB this fall. Having a dedicated consultant gave me the extra push that I needed when I was running low on energy and inspiration, and their approach made me feel like I was part of a team that wanted me to win versus having a sterile consultant/client relationship.

From the first step of deciding on what programs were the right fit for me to interview prep, Scott and his team’s comments and information were absolutely invaluable! He knows all the intricate details of each school and has a pulse on exactly what they are looking for. Looking at my first draft essays now compared to my final ones, the improvement is stark. Scott really did pull the best product out of me and was well worth every penny now that I am attending my dream M7 school.

It was clear early on that I would be utilizing the services of an admissions consultant. At the time, I didn’t believe I had the confidence necessary to put together my strongest application and felt it was important to navigate the process with a professional. I chose Scott and his team because of the positive feedback I’d heard, as well as having spoken with him directly. He was kind, and believed in me and my story. That was critical. All elements of my application were improved beyond my expectations and somehow along the way, I arrived at a new understanding of myself as a person.
I am grateful to everyone who was involved in this process (huge shoutout to MJ for the interview prep, absolutely phenomenal). Starting at Harvard next week!

I highly recommend Scott and his team. I felt a bit overwhelmed approaching the application process but Scott really helped me stay prepared for all aspects of the applications. From the resume help, to essay feedback, and interview prep I felt extremely confident about my applications. In the end, Scott’s help allowed me to earn large scholarships from my top two schools.
