Testimonials

I cannot recommend the Personal MBA team enough. After interviewing with other companies, I responded best to Scott’s firm and structured attitude; he was honest regarding gaps in my resume and collaborated with me on areas to improve. Scott assisted me throughout the process, motivating me to lift my test scores with tutoring services, narrowing down on a target school list, and pushing my essays farther when I was creatively tapped. I highly recommend working with Personal MBA Coach.

After talking with many different consultants, I decided to go with Scott and Personal MBA Coach because I felt he and the team gave me the best chance of achieving my goal to get into an M7 school despite coming from an extremely competitive demographic. Scott can be direct, but his advice and tough love are needed to take the right steps throughout the application process. Scott was clear and concise with how I could communicate my story and helped bring out the pertinent parts of my life to best develop each application. He and his team had an excellent turnaround time (1-2 days, even less most times!) on any questions, edits, or concerns that I had during my experience. Highly recommend!

I could not recommend Scott and the Personal MBA Coach team highly enough! As a reapplicant, I went from being rejected (without an interview) from all the schools I applied for the previous year (using a brand-name consultant), to a 75% hit rate on interviews and a 100% conversion rate from here, working with Scott and the Personal MBA Coach team. I am now off to my #1 choice of school next August. The team work extremely hard, are very responsive, and gives you the tough love that you need in order to take your application to the next level. Look no further for the best in the business!

Scott and his team were so great in helping me create the most competitive application despite my lower test score. The essay help, resume reviews, and overall application consulting were so helpful. Without Scott and his team, I never could’ve completed my application let alone by the Round 1 deadline, and be admitted into my top choice. Thank you to Scott and the team!

I am truly happy to recommend Scott and the Personal MBA Coach team!
Getting in touch with Scott at the beginning of the application process was the best choice I could possibly make. The incredible result of getting an admit offer from two M7 schools and LBS (and a waitlist offer to a third M7 school) would have not been possible without the structured support of Scott and the team, let alone the fact that I submitted 4 applications for Round 1 starting the applications two months prior to the deadline. The service level is absolutely top-notch. From brainstorming to finalizing the pool of target schools for application, to editing the resume and essays, I was always amazed by the honest, high-quality, effective, and timely feedback and inputs I received from Scott and the team. I totally recommend Scott and the Personal MBA Coach team to anyone looking to make their dream of getting into a top business school real!

I had a wonderful experience working with Scott and his team! I’ve been admitted to my top choice M7 school and received a full scholarship at another school. I had initial consultations with several other consulting services but chose to work with Scott because I felt he was the most honest and genuine when analyzing my profile. He offered unbiased feedback on my school goals and gave me suggestions on how to boost my application by pushing myself harder on the GMAT and taking the time to dive deeper into my extracurriculars. When I was ready to apply a year later I knew exactly who I wanted to work with. I chose to work with Scott through my entire application and each part (essays, resume, letter of recommendation, etc.) had a strategy and framework which took all the guesswork out of the application for me. Essay and resume editing were extremely easy and I felt it was truly collaborative. He took the time to understand my goals and story so I always received very clear feedback with suggestions on how to more effectively communicate my interests and highlight different parts of my story depending on the school’s prompts. I also really enjoyed the interview prep process and found the feedback from each of my prep sessions invaluable in boosting my confidence and giving me frameworks to use to thoughtfully answer questions. Everybody on the team was a pleasure to work with! I would absolutely recommend Scott to anyone looking to apply for an MBA! His process took all the guesswork out of my application process and he genuinely cares about supporting your goals!

I fall short of words to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible work Scott, and his team (Ujjwal, and Jackie) did in helping me apply to some of the most selective business schools in the world. As a member of an overly represented demographic (Indian Engineer Male), I knew that the competition would be tough and my list of schools was incredibly risky. But Scott took on the challenge head on and made it look easy with his expert guidance and support. Scott’s calm and structured approach helped me stay on track and not lose my nerves at any point in the process. As a result, I was able to submit most of my essays well in advance of their deadlines. And now, thanks to their efforts and lightning-fast response times, I have received offers from two of the top business schools in the world – an M7 school and Europe’s number one school, along with an interview invite from another M7. Personalmbacoach’s level of service was truly top-notch. The team’s professionalism made the entire process so much smoother and less stressful for me. I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking to apply to business school.

An investment that is worth every penny: Scott and his team were an absolutely amazing resource for tying together my application package. The strength of his program provided me with a feeling of insurance that I was showing MBA admissions boards the best-written version of myself. The Personal MBA Coach editors on staff that you have full access to are extremely responsive and interactive when it comes to articulating your ideas and crafting your “story” into a written essay format. The editor that worked with me would return comments on my writing typically within 24-48hrs, dramatically easing the iteration process as well as any stress associated with application timelines. Furthermore, Scott’s proofreader milestone in which finalized essays are scrubbed to perfection provides you with strong reassurance that the pieces of your application are truly ready when it comes time to actually click the “SUBMIT” button. Most importantly, Scott is incredibly available for a gut-check conversation whenever needed. He is quick to chat with you and answer any concerns you may have. The Personal MBA Coach team does an incredible job working through your written products while Scott, himself, provides great big-picture consulting guidance for navigating the application cycle. Tremendous resource.

As a deferred applicant, I worked with Scott at Personal MBA Coach to prepare for Wharton, and the process was seamless. I was amazed by how quickly I received feedback! Scott and I worked through my entire app in ~3 weeks. The process was so fast, that I was shocked when it was time to submit. At first, I thought it was too good to be true. I thought we missed something. But, Scott patiently answered any follow-up questions and concerns I had, and weeks later I received an invitation to interview.

Also, I appreciate how Scott offered clear guidance on my work. I left each call and draft review with a clear understanding of what I needed to do next. I still remember leaving my initial call with Scott feeling excited to start my essays!

Moreover, I love that PMC includes people who worked in admissions for top MBA programs previously. Working with Scott felt like I was walking into the application process with all the answers. For example, when preparing for my Wharton TBD, I was anxious because there are so many things you can’t control with a group interview. But, Scott gave me clear pointers on how to stand out. That helped me feel confident entering the TBD.

Candidly, as a college senior, I was concerned about the cost of MBA coaching. Looking back, however, it was worth it. If you are serious about attending business school, I recommend you make the investment and work with PMC!

I met Scott through a mutual friend, and when I reached out to him about my MBA plan I was deeply impressed by his professionalism with a personal touch. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I was only able to start my Round 1 applications starting August, yet Scott brainstormed with me to come up with an expedited and feasible game plan, from articulating my story to requesting letters of reference. The level of detail and care that Scott and his team dedicated to my process went far beyond my expectation. With Scott’s guidance and help, I was able to complete two Round 1 applications within a month, both with an admit, and I am excited to start my journey with Wharton this fall. Would definitely recommend Scott to anyone who is considering using a consultant.
