I worked with Scott and the Personal MBA Coach team for my applications and am very happy with the entire process. The team understands the critical requirements and tips for each top program, allowing for a very streamlined process. I was guided through the entire process, from college selection to essays and interview preparation. The team was an effective sounding board for my ideas and provided the right steers to help me refine my story. Would definitely recommend him to all applicants!
