UCLA Anderson
I chose to work with Scott after seeing him present at an admissions event. I liked his straightforward style (he does not sugarcoat) and that he had a good answer for the question “Why should I go with you rather than someone who has worked in admissions?” (to which he responded he had the most...

Interview Prep Client
I interviewed with Nicole one day before my final interview! Not only did Nicole provide valuable feedback that improved the quality of my answers, but I instantly felt more confident after my mock interview with her. Interviews can be the most nerve-racking part of the application process and I believe my mock interview ultimately helped... Read More
4 School Admit
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. It was great working with the team. I felt that their understanding of what different schools are looking for... Read More
Interview Prep Client
Nicole helped me prepare for both my Tuck and Ross interviews, and her guidance was incredibly helpful. Nicole provided thorough feedback and highlighted areas where I could substitute examples, elaborate more, or practice delivering a more structured response. After prepping with Nicole, I was ultimately admitted to Tuck, Ross, Fuqua, Yale SOM, and Darden! Read More
INSEAD
I first met Scott at his PMC booth in an MBA tour. Coming from a non-traditional background, I had very limited knowledge in business/interaction with the MBA community. Scott walked me through my resume patiently and professionally; I then decided to work with PMC. Scott may initially suggest you apply for some top programs and... Read More

I got into my top choice program and definitely credit the team! I reached out to Scott because I felt overwhelmed during the process and... Read More

Waitlist Client
If someone is trying to get into Columbia Business School then you definitely want Nicole on your team. She is so knowledgeable of how CBS works and she is also really nice and patient. I used Nicole when I was waitlisted by Columbia Business School. Her expertise and advice were amazing and I am so... Read More
Interview Prep Client
I worked with Nicole to prep specifically for my Kellogg interview, but her help and preparation served me well throughout the interview process for all four schools I applied to and was admitted to (Kellogg, Stanford, Columbia, Duke). Nicole helped push, shape, and polish my responses to key questions and advised on my delivery. Nicole... Read More
Cornell Johnson
Would highly recommend using Personal MBA Coach! Scott was great with helping me think about what business schools to apply to and advising on my candidacy. He also helped me on identifying my goals during business school and beyond, which will serve me well throughout my career. He was also helpful in advising me on... Read More
UCLA Anderson
I honestly had no idea how to prepare for my MBA interviews. The advice MJ gave me made all the difference! From the ubiquitous “Tell me about yourself” to the more school-specific “Why do you want to live in X city” and “What would you add to Y school?,” MJ made sure that I clearly... Read More
Waitlist Client
Scott is awesome. He is a great predictor of results in my opinion. He is patient and very nice which is always important during MBA applications which can be very stressful. I used Scott’s services when I was on the waitlist for Columbia Business School. I could not have asked for a better consultant. Highly... Read More
