I worked with Scott Edinburgh at Personal MBA Coach and I could not have been happier! Scott offers an incredible personal experience that is very hard to find yet Personal MBA Coach has resources that even the larger firms don't have. To have PhDs edit your essays is remarkable and to have the same editor and consultant throughout provides structure. This on top of the insider information they have puts Personal MBA Coach in a league of their own. Firms usually have consultants working in silos and this doesn't happen here.

Initially I hired a very well known name and was not satisfied as the support did not feel personalized enough since I was just a number in the process and it died off as it got closer to the deadlines. I then worked with Scott and was floored by the level of support I got. While we only had a short amount of time since I contacted him late, he took the time to get to know me personally and professionally and he was the one coming up with essay topics after just a couple discussions. Scott is quite tough and it works out in the end. In a very short amount of time, we did an entire HBS application and I ultimately got in. (As well as a couple other programs too!)

With Personal MBA Coach, you get a great balance of no BS, direct and brutal feedback while at the same time you have encouraging support throughout the entire process. Whereas with the other more well-known name I felt like I was a number in the process, Scott brainstormed everything with me from start to finish. Personal MBA Coach is no longer a hidden gem in the admissions consulting space but certainly one you should pay attention to and I have sent many friends to him over the years who also had great success!
