I worked with Scott through Forte Foundation a few years ago. He knows his stuff and started me in the right spot to approach the admissions process.

I was initially hesitant to work with a consultant during my MBA application process. However, looking back, I am 100% certain that I could not have gotten into my target schools without Scott’s guidance! I come from a nontraditional background, knowing little about the application process, and Scott provided invaluable support and generated a series of deadlines that held me accountable. Scott asked hard questions and provided immediate feedback, prompting intense but necessary soul searching. Every interaction/comment was valuable and I would recommend him to anyone applying to b-school!

The MBA application process was daunting and oftentimes overwhelming, but Scott and Personal MBA Coach gave me a sense of confidence every step of the way! I would not have had my choice of school or any scholarship offers otherwise!

Testing has never been a strength of mine, so I am thankful that Ryan was patient and helpful. He outlined a great schedule for me. Personal MBA Coach did a great job helping me to reach my score goal!

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. 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. Personal MBA Coach also used a very user-friendly interface that kept tasks organized.

I was so impressed with Scott and the team’s willingness to help. Scott went the extra mile every day. I’m so thankful that due to their help I was admitted to MIT Sloan on my first try. If you are looking for the best, then Scott is 100% the right option.

When I first reached out to Scott, I was really early in the process, so he suggested I spend a few months working with MJ Shores in the Early Planning Program to really solidify my profile. I was skeptical at first because I wasn’t sure what Early Planning meant, but working with MJ really helped me improve the extracurricular side of my profile. Not only did MJ do a great job of giving me suggestions, she also tailored her advice specifically to the schools I was targeting. MJ worked around my busy schedule and was regularly available late in the evening and on the weekend. The Early Planning program was a great help and reinforced my decision to sign up for a comprehensive package with the team.

After having preliminary calls with multiple different consultants, I chose to work with Personal MBA Coach through their Early MBA Planning package and am very happy that I did. I did not realize how little I knew about how to present myself to the admissions offices and can say with confidence that without their help I would not have gotten into all three of my round one schools, including Wharton, my top choice (Booth and CBS were the others). The price tag was initially a bitter pill to swallow but was worth it many times over in the end. They not only helped me craft a very strong application from an atypical
background but also helped me clarify to myself why I was really going back to school and enabled me the confidence to pursue the programs that really suited my specific goals. All in all, I would recommend Personal MBA Coach wholeheartedly – I have already recommended them to all of my friends who are beginning the application process.

Interview Prep Client

I’ve known Scott and MJ through Personal MBA Coach’s TBD mock interview prep. I’ve joined a couple of mocks with other candidates before. However, I wasn’t sure about whether my performance was good enough for the real interview. I’ve connected with Scott at the Personal MBA Coach and he introduced me to MJ for a mock session, which was awesome. After the session, we held an amazing feedback session in which she touched on my personal and technical performance. Even after our conversation, she sent a very detailed written feedback for me. It was my first time getting a feedback from a professional for an interview prep and clearly it was a game changer.

I thank MJ for conducting a great mock session, her kind approach, and her amazing feedback. I also thank Scott for the entire process. He has a good heart and is a great professional. I recommend the Personal MBA Coach team to everyone with utmost pleasure.

“I began working with Personal MBA Coach for early planning conversations approximately a year before applying in Round 1. From our earliest interactions, I knew I wanted to work with them during the application process. The other consultants I spoke with were great, but Scott and his team struck the perfect balance between believing I could get into my dream schools and giving me the straight-talk I needed to strengthen my candidacy…Personal MBA Coach makes what can be an extremely challenging process seem easy.  With their partnership, I was accepted to three top US programs. I highly recommend partnering with Personal MBA Coach for the business school application
process.”

“I am currently a college senior. I’ve worked with Scott to apply for 6 MBA programs that have early admission/ deferral program. Now I have been accepted to one school and waiting for results on others. For the school I’ve been accepted, I also got half tuition which totally paid off the consultancy fees. I have to say that it has been a wonderful experience working with Scott…Throughout the application process, he played a pivotal role. First of all, since I am a younger applicant, I was essentially writing on my goals after 4 years (2 years of deferral period and then 2 years of MBA). Scott was able to help me sort out all my
possible options and evaluate which one works the best. It was more than writing an essay but more like helping me to sort out my life. He could help me to explore all career options because he himself graduated from Wharton and have had a wide range of industry background. He was extremely patient and would hop on a call with me when necessary…It was awesome working with Scott and I would totally recommend anyone who is considering going to MBA.”

“My experience with Personal MBA Coach was very positive. Scott and his team have an abundance of knowledge that helped prepare me for not only the application phase but also the entire grad school experience. The value his team brings is significant – they helped me fine tune my story then put it into words via my resume, interview points I wanted to highlight, and essays. In no way did they write my story for me nor do the work – they provided me with guidelines, timelines, and outlines. They provided me with support along the way in a challenging and time-consuming process, always encouraging and pushing me to dig deeper and work harder. As a result of working with Scott and his team, I feel better equipped with the necessary framework to now tackle grad school and beyond in my professional and personal endeavors.”
