Testimonials

Scott Edinburgh, MJ Shores, and the rest of the Personal MBA Coach Team were my lifesavers during both the MBA prep and application process. They were candid, supportive, and provided timely feedback. Their industry knowledge and the personalized coaching they provide truly do extend past that of other consulting companies. I enthusiastically recommend the Personal MBA Coach team to all prospective MBA students – I can ensure you they will be there to help you each step of the way.

I never thought I would be one to pay for an admissions consultant, but as a military applicant applying from deployment, I could not have achieved the admissions results I did without Scott’s help. Scott and his team flexed to my variable military schedule and requirements to help me work through the process efficiently, and his in-depth admissions knowledge helped me craft an application I was proud of.

I had a great experience working with Scott and the Personal MBA Coach Team. I was impressed by the structured and personalized support I received. As a result, I was able to stay on track throughout the application process from brainstorming for essays to preparing for interviews. Thanks to Scott’s (and the rest of PMC’s) help, I got accepted into 3 schools (2 M7 and 1 T15) with generous scholarships from all of them. I would highly recommend Scott and the Personal MBA Coach Team.

Scott and the Personal MBA Coach team helped me get into my dream school! (M7) I had a fantastic experience working with Personal MBA Coach, who provided comprehensive support and guidance on every aspect of the application process. The team helped me present my application in the best way possible, helped me reflect on my goals, and made an otherwise overwhelming process more structured. Scott was always responsive to any and all questions I had. I highly recommend working with Personal MBA Coach!

My experience working with MJ Shores, Scott Edinburgh and the entire Personal MBA Coach Team far exceeded my expectations. MJ especially was my lifesaver during the MBA prep and application process! She was helpful, generous with her time, and went above and beyond to provide unmatched support during the entire process. With the support of MJ and the rest of the Personal MBA Coach Team I was admitted into an M7 school, and my top pick. I truly don’t believe I could have done it without them.

3 for 3! Wharton, CBS, and LBS Admit. Scott really knows what he’s doing. I appreciated his direct and honest feedback throughout the entire application process. The turnaround time was extremely quick and his subtle yet powerful changes elevated my essays to another level. He was extremely accommodating to my doubts, queries, and last minutes nerves. I would highly recommend him.

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!
