Working with Personal MBA Coach was an incredible experience. The whole team is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. With experience in the Middle East and Europe, I was successful in my applications to multiple M7 deferred MBA programs. Personal MBA Coach provided me with structured guidance and tools to prepare for interviews, applications and jobs. The team is always available (7 days/week 24 hours) and very committed to helping you and answering all of your questions. There is a dedicated one Personal MBA Coach consultant that shapes the overall experience when you work with them, yet Personal MBA Coach broader team has former M7 adcom experts when needed. When I had doubts about my abilities, the whole team motivated me and encouraged me so much! Personal MBA Coach brought the best out of me and challenged me to continuously reassess and reflect on myself so that I can convey my true self when applying. With extensive experience and expertise, the team is so professional, genuine, detailed and authentic when providing advice on how to improve. Thank you with all the heart! I highly recommend Personal MBA Coach to anyone thinking of applying to an MBA!!

Great team. Really helpful. Helped me drill down my story and USP's. Really good feedback on essays. Interview practice was great. Every answer was reviewed and feedback given on the spot so I could easily make notes on how to improve.

Payment plans are available which enabled me to use the services. Scott is flexible. Although he is running a business, I got the impression that he cared about providing a service that would get the results I was looking for. He gives honest feedback, if he doesn't think he can help you he will make this clear at the outset and suggest other options rather than just take your money without considering your desired outcomes.

I started working with Scott pretty late (November for January deadlines) in my application cycle and was worried that I may have left it too late but the team was really accommodating and reviewed my applications surprisingly quickly given the holiday season. The service was great and I would recommend it to anyone who can afford it.

If there was one thing I would suggest by way of improvement it would be to add an adcom specialist from a European School. I think that may set PMC apart from everyone else.

To anyone reading this please don't read this as they don't know how to get you into a European school (I got into Oxford), I just think adding someone who has European experience will add something to the team.

Thanks to Scott and the team at PMC. I am really happy with my results!

Scott is incredibly experienced in MBA admissions, extremely responsive in communications, and attentive to your needs as an applicant. I remember pitching multiple stories for how I was thinking about approaching my applications, and Scott helped me decide on a singular story while we were chatting on the phone. After that, it was off to the races crafting my personal statement.

In addition to the qualitative aspects, Scott was able to drive outstanding results through end-to-end process support. The iterations on my personal statements and admissions essays were timely and actionable, sometimes going so far as scrapping most of a first draft in favor of more concise story-telling. By the end of the process, I felt like I was delivering a narrative that only I could tell, and it came across as very intentional and authentic.

I was able to get into my target program, and Scott played a pivotal role in getting that glorious acceptance phone call!

I was referred to Scott by a friend who applied in the 2020 cycle and got admitted to an M7. Right from my first "getting to know you" session, Scott was very direct and honest about my candidacy and MBA prospects, which I really appreciated. I did not have the best scores on paper, but Scott and the team pushed beyond that. The team helped me carve out and perfect my story and resume to show that I was more than just the sum of my numbers. The team helped me identify certain anecdotes from my life and helped me turn them into cases for competency in business school. There is a certain way to craft business school essays, and the PMC team knows exactly what it is and what specific schools are looking for. The whole process was so smooth and well planned that I completed all my applications well before the deadlines.

After countless essay reviews, one on one calls and emails, the team also assisted me with interview prep and gave valuable feedback, ensuring that I was in peak performance.

While I initially had concerns about the price tag, I am ultimately glad I did it. I highly recommend Scott and the Personal MBA Coach team!

I had an excellent experience working with Scott, MJ and Nicole. From my initial phone call, Scott was direct, informed and honest. He helped me craft a target list of schools to suit my ability and background. Though he is at every step supportive, he’s unusual in that his feedback is consistently candid. He does not sugarcoat. In a process as nebulous as MBA applications, this was much appreciated. I knew the minimum score I needed to hit on my GMAT and how I needed to position myself for each school.

Once you begin preparing for interviews, you’ll meet MJ and Nicole, who are best-in-class. They bring incredible experience and can walk you through exactly what to expect at every school on your list. Not to mention they’re wonderful people, kind and encouraging.

I was accepted to 3 of my 5 schools, receiving scholarships at two. I came into the process not knowing how to succeed. Thankfully, the entire PMC team made sure I was prepared throughout. They want you to win and will put in the time necessary to make sure you do.

This is Sourya Mukherjee from India. I worked with Scott and his team for my MBA applications this year. I had a great experience and have received offers from the Kellogg MBAi program, and full-time MBA programs at Haas, Ross and Tepper.

It was great working with the team. I felt that their understanding of what different schools are looking for is extremely thorough. We started out by shortlisting the schools that would be best aligned to my goals and experience. We then worked on my goal statement, and CV, before moving on to the recommendations and essays.

The process was very detailed yet we moved fast. We did several iterations on each element till we were satisfied. The platform used to collaborate on these materials was very streamlined. I would always receive feedback within a day. In fact with the time difference, I would put in my drafts late night IST and receive feedback by the time I woke up!

Overall, I had a great experience and would highly recommend Personal MBA coach.

I was referred to Scott by a friend of mine who applied for her MBA the previous year and praised his personalized approach and proven tactics for admission to the M7. Scott and his team absolutely exceeded expectations. From my first "getting to know you" session, to countless essay revisions, and frequent one-on-one phone calls with Scott himself answering my every question (big and small!), Scott truly puts the "personal" touch in Personal MBA Coach. I was admitted to all 4 schools I applied to (including 3 M7 schools) with the help of Scott and his dedicated, talented team. Could not recommend more!

I saw my essays transform greatly and it would not have been possible without Scott and his team. The whole process was very smooth and organized. I am excited to say that I got into my top choice because of the help from the Personal MBA Coach team.

I truly believe that I would not have had the same outcome had it not been for Scott and the Personal MBA Coach team! When looking for a consultant, I had initial calls with a lot of companies. Personal MBA Coach stood out to me because of its boutique nature – I knew once I spoke to Scott that I would really get that one-on-one focus that I didn’t feel I would have with others. From the start, Scott and the team were honest with setting expectations yet dedicated to helping me maximize my chances at my target schools. Besides helping me craft my story and making sure I stayed on top of important timelines, Personal MBA Coach really asked the hard questions and helped me through the really introspective part of the application process. Additionally, they were willing to answer any question - big or small - in a very timely manner. I'm very excited to be attending an M7 school next year and I have Scott and the PMC team to thank for that!

I really enjoyed working with Scott and the personal MBA Coach team and can genuinely say that they added a lot of value to my essays. I saw my essays take shape through the iterations and was amazed at how specific and contextual every sentence had gotten. The process of working with the team was very smooth from start to finish and the team was really responsive throughout.
I highly recommend working with the Personal MBA Coach team if you'd like to improve your chances of getting into a top b-school. I managed to get into an M7 school with their help!
