Testimonials

I can’t recommend Scott and his team enough. They are extremely comprehensive, structured, and professional in their approach to guiding you. Applying to business school really forces you to introspect and ask yourself why you really want an MBA. Scott and co, really help you through this introspection process, and you kind of learn more about yourself in the process, and I think that’s why they are very good at what they do. I applied to only M7 schools + Haas, I got interviews from 5 and 1 admit (so far). Even the interview coaching was very structured. If I were a prospective MBA applicant, I wouldn’t think twice about going elsewhere, Scott is your guy.

Scott and his team at Personal MBA Coach were absolutely incredible to work with. As someone without a lot of connections with business school experience/aspirations, finding a consultant was an important step that I had decided on quite early in my application journey. After shopping around the different options for a bit, I chose to work with Scott and his team for a couple of different reasons: they provide extremely comprehensive support; I felt that Scott genuinely cared about my MBA journey, and they had a great track record for M7 programs.

Although it’s still early in application season, I’ve already been admitted to Columbia Business School ED, and I can say without a doubt that Scott and his team’s support has been instrumental in my success. From the start, they’ve been masterful in helping me craft my story, patient in my many essays and resume revisions, and honest in their recommendations from an admissions perspective. I initially had the least confidence in my essays, resume, and recommendations, and with the editing and proofreading team’s help, I am now as confident in those as ever.

Post application submissions, I was also able to do a mock interview with someone on Scott’s team; with the help of their feedback, my next-day interview went super smoothly! Not only did they allow me to practice my responses, but they also gave me insight into the purpose of the interview and recommendations on how to better tell my story.

Finally, I think what really sets Scott apart from the other admissions consultants is his accessibility — I’ve had many small questions pop up throughout my application process (ranging from financial aid, application strategy, logistics, etc), and he’s been very patient and prompt in his responses. I would highly recommend working with Scott and his team at Personal MBA Coach, and I’m already looking forward to hearing back from the rest of my schools!

I cannot recommend the Personal MBA Coach team enough! After talking with other companies, I chose Scott’s team; he was honest and genuine in sharing his thoughts about my profile and collaborated with me to design a plan. Scott assisted me throughout the process, worked with me to brainstorm essay ideas, and helped me re-gain confidence when I ran into some bumps during the application process. Huge shoutout to the entire team overall for the great mock interview experiences and fantastic essay edit suggestions! I’d highly recommend working with Personal MBA Coach.

Scott was fantastic to work with. His advice and guidance helped me build exceptional applications that truly expressed my voice and my story, especially helping me shape my vague goals into something that could be communicated more succinctly. He was also comfortable talking through why to go with his recommended approach when I had questions, which was very helpful. I got into 4/6 schools I applied to, including an M7, and got a full-ride scholarship to one school!

Scott Edinburgh, MJ Shores, and the rest of the Personal MBA Coach Team were my lifesavers during both the MBA prep and application process. They were candid, supportive, and provided timely feedback. Their industry knowledge and the personalized coaching they provide truly do extend past that of other consulting companies. I enthusiastically recommend the Personal MBA Coach team to all prospective MBA students – I can ensure you they will be there to help you each step of the way.

I never thought I would be one to pay for an admissions consultant, but as a military applicant applying from deployment, I could not have achieved the admissions results I did without Scott’s help. Scott and his team flexed to my variable military schedule and requirements to help me work through the process efficiently, and his in-depth admissions knowledge helped me craft an application I was proud of.

I had a great experience working with Scott and the Personal MBA Coach Team. I was impressed by the structured and personalized support I received. As a result, I was able to stay on track throughout the application process from brainstorming for essays to preparing for interviews. Thanks to Scott’s (and the rest of PMC’s) help, I got accepted into 3 schools (2 M7 and 1 T15) with generous scholarships from all of them. I would highly recommend Scott and the Personal MBA Coach Team.

Scott and the Personal MBA Coach team helped me get into my dream school! (M7) I had a fantastic experience working with Personal MBA Coach, who provided comprehensive support and guidance on every aspect of the application process. The team helped me present my application in the best way possible, helped me reflect on my goals, and made an otherwise overwhelming process more structured. Scott was always responsive to any and all questions I had. I highly recommend working with Personal MBA Coach!

3 for 3! Wharton, CBS, and LBS Admit. Scott really knows what he’s doing. I appreciated his direct and honest feedback throughout the entire application process. The turnaround time was extremely quick and his subtle yet powerful changes elevated my essays to another level. He was extremely accommodating to my doubts, queries, and last minutes nerves. I would highly recommend him.

I cannot recommend the Personal MBA team enough. After interviewing with other companies, I responded best to Scott’s firm and structured attitude; he was honest regarding gaps in my resume and collaborated with me on areas to improve. Scott assisted me throughout the process, motivating me to lift my test scores with tutoring services, narrowing down on a target school list, and pushing my essays farther when I was creatively tapped. I highly recommend working with Personal MBA Coach.

After talking with many different consultants, I decided to go with Scott and Personal MBA Coach because I felt he and the team gave me the best chance of achieving my goal to get into an M7 school despite coming from an extremely competitive demographic. Scott can be direct, but his advice and tough love are needed to take the right steps throughout the application process. Scott was clear and concise with how I could communicate my story and helped bring out the pertinent parts of my life to best develop each application. He and his team had an excellent turnaround time (1-2 days, even less most times!) on any questions, edits, or concerns that I had during my experience. Highly recommend!
