Scott is exceptional and I cannot recommend him enough! Scott was very candid to me about which schools I would be competitive at for admissions and scholarship, and did not employ any fear-based strategies or "you need me" speeches like his competitors did. My GRE improved from 315 to 326 within 2.5 months. I ended up getting multiple scholarships to T15, including my top choice. Scott is genuinely available 24/7, and he was very prompt and informative about responding to even my most vague questions. I worked West Coast hours, but he did an excellent job structuring my test prep around my hectic work schedule.

I spoke with four MBA consultants before deciding to work with Scott and couldn't be more happy with my decision. I came in with a non-traditional professional background and roughly median test scores for top 10 schools, and Scott helped me get accepted to my top choice M7.

Scott is an exceptional listener. He put in significant effort up front to really understand my story and work with me to craft the optimal coherent narrative to present myself to schools. He helped me every step of the way: from writing my CV, to selecting the right schools, to being strategic with essay topic choices, to managing various priorities when deadlines loomed, to interview prep, and even through the anxious waitlist period. I can confidently say that without Scott I would have probably not gotten into my top choice off of the waitlist.

Scott is the kind of guy who picks up the phone when you call. Having worked in client services for 6 years prior to applying to MBA programs, I can easily say that Scott is top notch in the space. He is consistent, smart, reliable, and knows this arena inside and out. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a MBA consultant, especially if you come from a less well-known industry.

Choose Scott & Co. I was a non-traditional candidate with a solid GPA but only mid test scores, aiming to go into a niche MBA area. Scott’s guidance on helping clarify my application choices, best ways to present myself and essay support was invaluable. He and his team have a great system for keeping you on track. Truthfully applying to MBA can be a very isolating and deeply introspective process. You will have to open up your life for at least the past 5 years and find the answer to why an MBA, why now, why this program? Having Scott & Co there makes it easier.

I was in a rather unique of having only a short list of three schools I was in interested in applying for. Scott & team wasted no time in helping me draft my story and tell it in a way that was authentic to me while highlighting elements that were uniquely important to each of the programs I applied for. Working with him gave my MBA application process structure and it was great to see my story take form after rounds of edits. Scott was also able to strike a delicate balance between guiding me to elaborate and clarify where needed and still letting me tell my own story.

Scott was also tremendously helpful in the interview preparation process. The mock interviews gave me a very good taste of what the actual interviews would be like and helped target my efforts in areas that needed improvement the most.

The admissions outcomes have been great so far. I am accepted into one of my top choice schools and waitlisted at another. Scott now continues to support me work through the waitlist process.

His experience and strong strategic mindset really shine through and I would highly recommend anyone considering applying for an MBA to work with him.

When I met with Scott, he immediately understood how to translate my niche experience to MBA admissions committees and took the time to explain each aspect of the application process to me. He also took the time to learn about my interests and goals to help me devise a school list that fit those well. Scott also kept me accountable with frequent reminders and his team really pushed me to do my best work when writing essays. The team made sure that I moved through each of the application components in a timely manner while making sure to only move onto the next component when the current one was at its best. I also encountered some personal circumstances during the process and took a pause for a few months. When I contacted Scott to resume working on my applications, he was eager to help me and it genuinely felt like he cared about my success - no matter what that looked like. He was also really personable and accessible, which is something that was really valuable. I ended up getting accepted to all the schools to which I applied (Booth, Kellogg, Ross).
