After researching several different MBA prep programs, I decided to go with Scott and his team. It was certainly one of the best decisions I have ever made. Scott and his team possess a different level of industry knowledge and an ability to support their clients like no other. Their support helped me to get into my top choice as well as several other programs I applied to! I highly recommend working with Scott and his team, specifically for anyone who enjoys having a sense of structure around their application process and people to hold you accountable to deadlines/goals.

Applied to two schools with Scott's help, and as of this moment have been waitlisted at one and have been invited to interview at the other. Scott is very easy to work with and most importantly is a no nonsense communicator who does not beat around the bush, which is what you want from your consultant in comparison to a consultant that tells you what you want to hear to make a quick buck. Scott and his team helped me stay on track through my application process in addition to providing me with valuable insights for my application; they did an incredible job bringing out the best version of my story for my applications.

Scott and his team are experts at what they do. The results speak for themselves. I was accepted to three of the six M7 schools I applied to with scholarships to two. One of the best things about their services is they have all under one roof. We started with personal story construction and naturally progressed to telling my story through my essays and resume. He kept my ambitions realistic throughout the process which allowed me to identify my primary areas of focus. The interview prep was also super helpful and thorough. Highly recommend the team at Personal MBA Coach!

When I first approached Scott about a consultation, I had no knowledge of the MBA application process, wasn't confident about my undergrad transcript, and came from an untraditional background (sales) - so I wasn't sure if being accepted to a top school was possible for me. However, Scott answered every question I have, was always available, helped me build an accountability plan for the admissions process as a whole, put me in touch with an excellent GMAT tutor, assisted with perfecting my essays, and it all resulted in an acceptance to NYU Stern, my #1 school! Couldn't have done it without him and I highly recommend him!

I had the opportunity to work with Scott and Richard Emmanuel on both a waitlist and reapplication strategy, and I can confidently say that Personal MBA Coach truly stands out for their expertise and professionalism. From the very beginning, it was clear that they have a deep understanding of the MBA admissions landscape and a proven approach tailored to each applicant’s unique background and goals. If I had to summarize my experience in one sentence, it would be that they truly know what they are doing.

The entire team is structured, communicative, and highly efficient. What impressed me most was how well they know each individual program—down to the specific details that different schools prioritize. During brainstorming sessions, they asked the right questions to help surface meaningful insights from my experiences, and then guided me in translating those insights into compelling, authentic essays and responses that highlighted my strengths.

Working with the editors was incredibly productive. Their feedback was thoughtful, clear, and constructive, and the process allowed me to control the pace and rhythm of the work.

Overall, my experience with Personal MBA Coach exceeded expectations. Their strategic guidance, school-specific knowledge, and editorial expertise were key in elevating the quality of my applications.

I started the MBA application process feeling nervous about how overwhelming it might be. From day one, Scott and his team made everything feel organized and achievable. They provided a clear roadmap, kept me on track, and pushed me to apply to schools I would have considered out of reach. Their essay guidance helped me tell my story authentically, and their interview prep gave me confidence walking into the room. The level of personal attention they provide is unmatched and they genuinely care about my outcome. Thanks to their support, I was admitted to HBS, which I never would have believed possible at the start. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants expert guidance and a partner who’s fully invested in their success.

Working with Scott Edinburgh and the Personal MBA Coach team during the fall of 2023 and spring of 2024 was one of the best decisions I made during my MBA application journey. Scott was more than just a consultant—he was a mentor, coach, and a steady source of support throughout the entire process.

From GRE tutoring and resume refinement to deep, thoughtful essay editing and interview prep, Scott was by my side every step of the way. He helped me discover and elevate my unique voice—something that truly made my application stand out across every school I applied to, including Yale SOM, Columbia Business School, HBS, Stanford GSB, Wharton, MIT Sloan, and Duke’s Fuqua School of Business.

What impressed me most was his ability to deeply understand my story and help me craft a persuasive, cohesive, and authentic narrative. He never imposed a generic mold but instead empowered me to highlight what made me different. His strategic insight and sharp attention to detail made the overwhelming application process structured and manageable. Even down to the application forms, Scott’s guidance was meticulous and reassuring.

Scott's exceptional mentorship enabled me to secure acceptance to the Yale School of Management, fulfilling a lifelong dream. I am immensely grateful to him and would recommend the Personal MBA Coach team to anyone who wants not just to apply but to excel in the MBA admissions process.

Five stars! I cannot recommend Scott and the Personal MBA Coach team enough. I was admitted into an M7 school and another one of my top choices with significant scholarship funds. They were real partners who walked with me and my brother each step of the MBA admissions journey. Scott was one of the only consultants I spoke with who truly believed in me and who I knew would be available when it mattered most. He took the time to understand my background and was a great thought partner when finalizing my school list. His team was extremely organized, super responsive, and pushed me to craft a compelling narrative. Even when it was difficult to balance work, exam preparation and essay writing, Scott kept a positive attitude that motivated me to keep grinding. The team was also clutch during interview preparation. The questions and prep sessions instilled confidence for the interviews. I cannot express enough how amazing Scott and his team were at critical times. I highly recommend Scott to anyone who wants to work with a consultant who will keep you on track and give you the best shot at getting into your desired schools.
