Testimonials

Scott was an excellent platform for the entire process, from identifying programs, approaching the application, preparing for the GMAT, the interviews, and post-admission administration. He works with wonderful people and will put you in touch with resources best suited to your needs. I approached Scott less than a month before the final round deadline, considering applying for the next year, and his guidance and confidence was the only reason I attempted applying in under a month. With his and his teams’ help, I could narrow down, distill, and articulate my priorities and was admitted to both programs under a very tight schedule. I highly recommend working with him directly when uncertain of all available opportunities.

Worked with MJ at Personal MBA Coach and was admitted to Wharton’s EMBA program. She and the Personal MBA Coach team are so knowledgeable about the process, and a joy to work with. I am so glad that I found them and chose to work with them, and would do so again without hesitation. I strongly recommend MJ and Personal MBA Coach for anyone looking at top executive MBA programs.

Scott was an exceptional motivator who kept me focused and on track throughout the entire MBA application process. I was initially worried about my lower GPA and how it might affect my chances, but Scott’s expertise was instrumental in helping me identify the schools where I had the strongest shot at admission. The team’s personalized support went beyond just the basics—they took the time to deeply understand my unique goals and strengths, which made all the difference. With their guidance, I gained clarity on my reasons for pursuing an MBA and learned how to share my story in a compelling way. I couldn’t have navigated this complex process without Personal MBA Coach, and I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking expert, thoughtful, and personalized guidance on their MBA journey.

I worked with Scott on every aspect of my MBA application outside of the GMAT, and his coaching was exceptional. From selecting schools to writing applications and preparing for interviews, Scott made each step straightforward and clear. His support allowed me to be genuine in my applications while leveraging his deep understanding of the system to tell my story effectively. Scott was always available for questions and edits, whether it was for resumes, essays, or short answers. Having him in my corner gave me the peace of mind that I was presenting my best self. I cannot imagine navigating this process without Personal MBA Coach, and I highly recommend Scott and his team to anyone applying to business school.

Working with Personal MBA Coach was the best decision I could have made. Scott and his expert team provided all the guidance that I needed to be admitted to my most preferred MBA program at Wharton. They held my hand and led me through the process—exceeding my expectations at every step. Personal MBA Coach has deep knowledge of exactly what is needed to succeed from essay edits to interview prep and beyond. I will always be grateful to Scott and his exceptional team for their talent, their dedication to our success, and their love of helping others. They make dreams come true.

Scott knows the MBA admission world. I was working on a time crunch, as I decided to apply to deferred MBA programs fairly last minute, but Scott was patient and very helpful regardless. His best trait is knowing when to say no and being straightforward. I like that he would never hesitate to tell me when something I wrote is not adding value and will provide suggestions to other ways to approach the essay.

I was referred to Scott by a friend of mine who applied for her MBA the previous year and praised his personalized approach and proven tactics for admission to the M7. Scott and his team absolutely exceeded expectations. From my first “getting to know you” session, to countless essay revisions, and frequent one-on-one phone calls with Scott himself answering my every question (big and small!), Scott truly puts the “personal” touch in Personal MBA Coach. I was admitted to all 4 schools I applied to (including 3 M7 schools) with the help of Scott and his dedicated, talented team. Could not recommend more!

Hello everyone! I wanted to share an excellent resource to fellow MBA applicants. I was admitted to Booth’s class of 2026, and I know without Personal MBA Coach this would not have happened. I used Personal MBA Coach to support me during the essay writing and interviewing process. I worked with MJ for my essay writing and I cannot recommend her enough. As the former Director of Admissions at Wharton, she is an expert at refining applications to be extremely precise and clear to an admissions committee at the world’s top MBA programs. I entered the process unaware that my essay was imprecise and lacked direction. Through working with MJ, I not only left with a clear MBA essay, I did deep reflection as to what exactly I want to do with my career and precisely how an MBA will help me get there. I worked with Skyler for my interview preparation. He helped me organize my thinking to help me communicate my ideas clearly for an interviewer to follow. I left every interview feeling extremely confident and optimistic about the results. I am over the moon with my Booth acceptance, and I am eternally grateful to Personal MBA Coach. Best of luck to ­all of you on your MBA journey!­

Scott made the MBA application process a breeze. From an upfront call walking you through the plan for the next few months, to the timely and wildly helpful feedback on essays, to the high touch interview practice, I felt supported and ahead of the game every step of the way. Best way to invest in yourself, your future, and your professional development. True experts who exceeded all expectations.

I had a great experience working with Scott and the Personal MBA Coach team. When I met with Scott, he immediately understood how to translate my niche experience to MBA admissions committees and took the time to explore my goals and interests to help me craft my best applications. Scott also kept me accountable with frequent reminders and his team really pushed me to do my best work when writing essays. The team made sure that I moved through each of the application components in a timely manner while making sure to only move onto the next component when the current one was at its best. I also encountered some personal circumstances during the process and took a pause for a few months. When I contacted Scott to resume working on my applications, he was eager to help me and it genuinely felt like he cared about my success. I would recommend Scott to anyone applying to business school but especially to those who need an accountability partner and are less familiar with the process. I was accepted to all three schools to which I applied.

Choose Scott & Co. I was a non-traditional candidate with a solid GPA but only mid test scores, aiming to go into a niche MBA area. Scott’s guidance on helping clarify my application choices, best ways to present myself and essay support was invaluable. He and his team have a great system for keeping you on track. Truthfully applying to MBA can be a very isolating and deeply introspective process. Having Scott & Co there makes it easier.
