Testimonials

Working with Scott and his team at Personal MBA Coach was one of the best decisions I made during the application process. They were incredibly responsive, insightful, and exceeded every expectation I had going in. Whatever qualities you’re looking for in an MBA admissions consultant—whether it’s strategic guidance, honest feedback, or personalized support—I can confidently say Scott and his team deliver on all fronts and then some.

Despite a low undergraduate GPA from a school better known for athletics than academics, and professional experience rooted in a family business, Scott helped me craft a compelling and authentic narrative that truly resonated with the programs I applied to. I’m certain I wouldn’t have reached my goal of attending an M7 school without his guidance.

Yes, working with an MBA consultant is a significant investment, and Scott is no exception. But in my case, it more than paid for itself—not just in terms of the scholarships I received, but in the long-term return of attending a top program.

If you’re serious about getting into a top MBA program, I wholeheartedly recommend Scott and Personal MBA Coach. Like me, you won’t regret it.

Last year, I was dinged from all the schools I had applied to. I had worked with a top Indian-based consulting firm, but after that experience, I honestly lost hope of getting into an M7. Being an Indian male (695GFE) with all my experience in e-commerce companies within India — and not from the typical consulting or finance background — I knew it was going to be tough. Still, I believed that working with a U.S.-based consultant could make a difference, especially in understanding my story and communicating it in a way that would connect with the schools.

That’s when I came across Scott through a mutual friend who had gotten into Wharton. My initial call with Scott was warm and gave me the confidence to go ahead and work with him. The process started with a detailed form to help him understand my background, followed by long, thoughtful calls to strategically shape my goals and story. For each school, we had multiple calls and email discussions that brought immense clarity to how I should approach every essay. He has utmost clarity on how to approach the content for each school and it is not one size fits all. He has a strong team of editors and interviewers that gave me huge confidence in this process.

I was also shared relevant sample essays from profiles similar to mine, which helped me get an idea of what works. There were several back-and-forth iterations with the editors to fine-tune my essays and by the end I honestly couldn’t believe it was my own story. The essays felt perfectly structured, authentic, and in complete harmony — which was lacking in my previous essays.

Beyond essays, I got help with my resume, short answers, video essay preparation and even the smallest application details for each school. It was a true end-to-end experience — from story formulation and positioning to content refinement and final submission. Compared to my earlier experience with the Indian firm, this was on a completely different level. After receiving my interview invites, I was given a set of relevant questions and mock interviews with actual former interviewers from the respective schools. That really helped me prepare with confidence and clarity. Their feedback really helped me crack my 40 minute long interview at Kellogg with the admissions team.

Overall, Scott is someone who knows exactly how to position your story and strategy, bring out your best, and help you create powerful, authentic essays. And once you get an interview invite, you’ll be trained by people who’ve actually interviewed for those schools. I would highly recommend Scott to anyone seriously aiming for the M7

Scott and his team were instrumental in guiding me through the MBA application process, helping me secure a spot at HBS. From the very first consultation, my consultant took the time to truly understand my story and career aspirations. The team pushed me to dig deeper and highlight experiences that I hadn’t initially recognized as impactful, helping me craft a compelling and cohesive narrative.

The process was efficient and thorough, with clear milestones to track progress on essays, resumes, and interview prep. I especially appreciated his candid feedback and his ability to challenge me to refine my ideas while staying true to my voice.

I cannot recommend Personal MBA Coach  highly enough for anyone aiming for top business schools. Their expertise and dedication truly make a difference. Without them, I would not be heading to HBS next year!

Scott provided extremely valuable insight throughout the application process – from our first call to final check-in before decisions. He and his team are extremely responsive, help you stay on track, and provide extremely valuable insight into school specific applications. I would 100% use again and recommend Scott to anyone applying.

After researching several different MBA prep programs, I decided to go with Scott and his team. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Scott and his team possess a different level of industry knowledge and an ability to support their clients like no other. Their support helped me to get into my top choice as well as several other programs I applied to!

Scott and his team are incredibly knowledgeable about the application process as well as what admissions offices seek from potential students. They helped me get into my dream school and also helped me find a great tutor to uplift my GMAT score. Scott provides honest, intentional and constructive feedback and ensures you stay on track to meet your goals, regardless of how busy your schedule might be. I could not recommend him enough.

I was accepted to both GSB + HBS. My consultant was extremely knowledgable about what the schools are looking for and always available to help with any questions or concerns you have. I found our brainstorming calls to be very helpful and the editing team made my applications very sharp.

Can’t recommend PMC enough. Their process is honed down to a science. Even in my moments of self doubt and anxiety, they made the application process much less stressful and helped me craft my story and goals as a non- traditional applicant with a 655 GMAT focus score. I got in to all 6 schools I applied to (including three M7s). I also used them for tutoring in my last hail mary GMAT attempt and FINALLY got a decent enough score. Scott and PMC are professional and offer a really great service that is reflective of their years of experience and genuine expertise.

I had a really great experience with Scott and his team! They do a fantastic job of guiding you throughout the entire MBA process from school selection, tutoring, essay revisions, interview prep, and even waitlist guidance. I thought my accepted school was so far out of reach before working with them, but they helped guide me throughout the whole process, and I’m so happy with my selection. I can’t say enough great things about Scott and his rockstar team!

Scott and his team provide exceptional support throughout the MBA application process. They are particularly effective in helping candidates clarify their goals, articulate their personal stories, and refine their application strategies. The guidance on essay writing stands out—they won’t do the work for you, but instead help you present your unique narrative in a clear and compelling way. For those who struggle with writing, especially non-traditional candidates or those from technical backgrounds, Scott’s team excels at transforming rough drafts into polished essays that truly shine.

I first met Scott at an MBA event and it was clear that he was an exceptional MBA coach and knew the application process inside and out. Coming from a technical background with a modest GPA and test scores, making the leap to work with Scott was the best decision I could have made throughout my MBA application journey. Scott is a great person; his advice is genuine, personalized, self-reflective, thoughtful, and he really wants to see you succeed! He and his team gave me the resources, knowledge, and confidence to craft an application that I was proud of. In the end, I was admitted to one of my dream schools in R3 with $$ and I couldn’t be happier. I don’t think I could have navigated the process on my own; investing in Personal MBA Coach was the best decision I could have made. If you’re looking for an admissions consultant, I can’t recommend Scott and his team enough!

Working with Scott made the whole MBA application process feel a lot less overwhelming. He was super thoughtful and gave honest feedback. The mock interviews with his team were especially helpful, they gave me the confidence I needed going into the actual interviews. Would absolutely recommend working with him.
