Testimonials

When I decided to pursue an MBA, the option of choosing a coach was not easy but The Personal MBA Coach and Scott were the perfect choice. I had a very ambitious list of schools I was interested in. And once the process started, they immediately dove in to help shape my story, ensuring it was both authentic and compelling for the programs I applied to. They struck a perfect balance between edits while allowing me to maintain ownership of my narrative. Their guidance also helped me present my achievements in the best possible light while instilling confidence in my story. I was incredibly proud of my essays and short questions by the end of it.

Their support during the interview process also played a crucial role, the mock interviews were a great tool that offered detailed feedback that made me feel confident and ready for the actual interview.

Ultimately, I received admission offers from four schools with scholarship offers—an outstanding outcome for any MBA aspirant.

Scott provided helpful support throughout the entire application process, guiding me in the right direction. His support was invaluable, and I am deeply grateful to him and his team for their assistance.

Scott was recommended by my friend (Wharton alum) who worked with Scott during her application a few years ago. It was a short period of time for me to prepare and hit (a month or so) Round 1 deadline of Wharton. Having Scott and his team as advisors really gave me piece of mind, not only because they had so much experience, success stories, and insights to guide me, but also they knew how to manage time and execute. They were responsive and accountable – always provided feedback during the time window promised. The strong execution and time management skills are things I learned the most from them, which is essential in my MBA program. I not only submitted before Round 1 deadline, but also was admitted. I’m truly grateful for Scott and his team.

Scott has been a tremendous help on my journey towards my MBA. Not only has he provided me with a set of skills—starting from my ability to clearly articulate and communicate my goals, past experiences, and skills—but he has also greatly assisted me in identifying what my path could be. He pushed me out of my comfort zone, encouraging me to take time to think about my future, my aspirations, and what I want to accomplish. I will be forever thankful to Scott and his team for the impact they have had on my career. 

I started my MBA application journey with very little knowledge of the entire process, what schools to consider, and how my non-traditional background would fit in the B-School landscape. Scott and his team were incredibly supportive and considerate with helping me identify the right program. They really took time to understand my story and pulled out great experiences that I could highlight in my application. I really could not have done this without Scott & his team’s help. I would definitely recommend!

When I reached out to Scott, he responded promptly and was eager to begin our collaboration. Scott acted swiftly and worked closely with me to ensure my application was polished and submitted according to my preferred timeline. Beyond the genuine care and commitment he demonstrated in shaping my narrative, what truly impressed me during my collaboration with Scott and his team was their talent for prompting thoughtful reflection on the “why.” Scott pushed me to delve deeply into the reasons behind my aspirations and consider the tangible benefits the MBA journey would provide in achieving these goals. Importantly, Scott played a crucial role in helping me select the right schools for my MBA journey.

Scott and all his team were really helpful throughout the whole process of applying to my deferred MBA- from school selection to interviewing. I felt supported throughout all my applications and felt like what I sent out was truly the best I could do. His team helped me prep for all my interviews, and made me go into them really confident. I highly recommend Scott and Personal MBA Coach overall.

I would highly recommend working with Scott and his team. I was working with a low GPA and average GMAT but Scott went above and beyond to help sharpen my story and connect it with my short and long term goals. He was honest with me throughout the process and was very personable, making it easy to work with him. He and his team were exceptional in helping me edit my essays and crafting a strong story to communicate to schools. I would highly recommend working with Scott if you want best-in-class services and support in getting accepted to your dream MBA program. I always felt that Wharton was a reach for me but with the help of Scott he helped make it a reality.

From crafting my story, advice on which school to apply to and the turnaround speed of edits, Scott was fantastic and frank. His is a passion for the work and not the money. I was a bit sceptical when I saw his 96% admissions success posts. Now I understand, it is true. He has got a personal touch and continues to push you back on essays so that you bring out your full story. Hooray!!!

Scott is so knowledgeable and helpful. He possesses so much insight and helpful tips as well as strategies for navigating so many nuances and parts of the process. I appreciated the ways in which he challenged me to fine-tune my materials. For example, in essay writing, I really benefited from how he pushed me to draw connections from my professional/community experiences to what I (at the time as an applicant/prospective) can do on campus in student groups/complement the school’s values and social environment. Furthermore, I appreciated the guidance I received in the interview stage. I received help with some questions I had some difficulty on. In addition, the feedback was very specific/line-by-line and I received guidance on how to structure/organize my thoughts and responses to enhance my concision. I highly recommend him.

Scott was super supportive since day one! He is extremely knowledgeable about the process and is exceptionally good at creating specific applications for specific schools. As an ORM with a not-so-stellar GRE score and below average WE, he was able to fine-tune my application which led to interviews at every school I applied! Ultimately, I got into my target school with $$. The combined scholarships received was over $100K!!

Scott was instrumental in my admittance into multiple T7 programs and scholarship awards. When faced with particularly demanding professional and personal demands leading up to round 1 applications, The Personal MBA Coach team was extremely flexible and generous with their time, working tirelessly with me to meet tight deadlines. From application/essay support to interview prep and scholarship negotiating strategy, Scott and his team were with me every step of the way. I owe much of my success to the thoughtful and tailored feedback that The Personal MBA Coach provided throughout the process and I would highly recommend Scott to aspiring students at all stages of their MBA journey.

I had a great experience working with Scott and the Personal MBA Coach Team! Scott was incredibly thorough in helping me with every aspect of the MBA application process. I came to him a little bit later and was still struggling with the standardized test part of my application. He found me a new tutor and within about 5 weeks, my GMAT score had jumped 100 points and we finished my top two applications in time for round one. Scott was professional and realistic in helping me curate a list of schools. The application process working with him is incredibly structured and seamless. He also made himself readily available to answer any question that I had. I would highly recommend working with him and his team!
