Product Personal MBA Coach Comprehensive School Packages
Consultant Scott Edinburgh
Strengths:
Everything
Would make the product better:
Nothing
I worked with Scott Edinburg at Personal MBA Coach throughout my application cycle, and I'm thrilled to say I'll be heading to Wharton this fall. I wanted to share my experience because Scott genuinely made the difference between a good application and one that stood out.
From our very first conversation, Scott took the time to understand my background, my career goals, and what made me tick. He didn't try to fit me into a generic template — instead, he helped me identify the specific stories and angles that would resonate with adcoms. His feedback on my essays was incredibly sharp: he pushed me to dig deeper when my drafts were surface-level, and he had a great instinct for when something was working versus when I needed to rethink the framing.
A few things that stood out about working with Scott:
School selection strategy. He gave me honest, data-driven advice about where I was competitive and where I should stretch. No false hope, no underselling — just a clear-eyed read on my profile.
Essay coaching. He challenged me to be more specific and more authentic. By the final drafts, the essays actually sounded like me — but the best, most polished version of me.
Interview prep. Our mock interviews were rigorous. He drilled me on the questions I least wanted to answer, which made the real Wharton interview feel manageable.
Responsiveness. Scott was always reachable, even when I was sending him essay drafts at odd hours. He treated my application like it actually mattered to him.
If you're on the fence about working with a consultant, or trying to decide between firms, I can say without reservation that Scott and Personal MBA Coach were worth every penny. Wharton was my dream school, and I'm not sure I would have gotten in without his guidance.
Highly, highly recommend.
