I worked with Scott and his team for my MBA applications this year. I had a great experience and have received offers from the Kellogg MBAi program, and full-time MBA programs at Haas, Ross, and Tepper (with $40K).
It was great working with the team. I felt that their understanding of what different schools are looking for is extremely thorough. We started out by shortlisting the schools that would be best aligned with my goals and experience. We then worked on my goal statement and CV, before moving on to the recommendations and essays.
The process was very detailed yet we moved fast. We did several iterations on each element till we were satisfied. The platform used to collaborate on these materials was very streamlined. I would always receive feedback within a day. In fact with the time difference, I would put in my drafts late-night IST and receive feedback by the time I woke up!
Overall, I had a great experience and would highly recommend Personal MBA Coach.
