Scott and his team are truly talented. The Personal MBA Coach team and a lead editor worked on my content for one school (NYU Stern), which I was accepted into! Scott was professional, easy to work with, and turned around the essay I sent to his team quickly (<10 days before the Round Two deadline). I appreciated the mix of in-line feedback and thought provoking comments. When I sent the draft of my essay to Scott, I did not feel confident about the content or structure. Because of Scott's help, I was able to confidently submit my essay. Thank you so much for being so wonderful to work with!

Personal MBA Coach team provided invaluable support throughout the GRE and application process. The team offered great feedback as I made my school selections, crafted essays, and prepared for interviews. They also kept me on schedule during a very busy work time so that I was able to submit everything on time. The GRE was my biggest anxiety during the process but weekly studying sessions with Ryan improved my score greatly. They eased my stress during the whole process. With Personal MBA Coach team's help, I was admitted to my top choice school! I can not recommend Scott and his team enough.

I worked with Scott for applying to both Wharton and Haas EMBA programs. His thorough approach, approachable attitude, and personalized guidance helped me get into Haas! This would not have been possible without him! Scott was very patient from the beginning to end and advised me every step of the way on EA test prep, recommendation letters, essays and interview.

His guidance were extremely and MJ's interview prep sessions helped me a lot as they gave me the confidence to interview well. I highly recommend Scott and MJ for any and all of the top business school application and interview prep.

Working with Nicole and Scott was amazing. Not only I enjoyed the process of developing my application but also resulted with a state-of-the-art application with powerful essays that helped me get in the schools I wanted to. I would totally recommend Personal MBA Coach if you are looking to boost your application. Nicole and Scott managed to put in my shoes to understand my goals and take the path to tell my personal story. Their greatest strength it is with no doubts the personalized attention that they provide to you in order to feel that you are completely covered with the tools needed to write high-end essays. I was struggling between different consultants and what really made me decide Personal MBA Coach over the rest was their focus on candidate experience throughout the development of the applications.

I had an all-around great experience working with Scott and the entire Personal MBA Coach team and highly recommend them to anyone else. To start, Scott and his team really took the time to understand why I wanted an MBA and helped me narrow down schools to the ones that fit well with my short and long-term goals. They truly understand the ins and outs of the MBA application process and made sure that I was on time and prepared for each part of the application process for each school. They helped me craft a personal mission statement and provided me with consistent resume, essay, and interview prep and feedback. Throughout the entire application process, they continually made me feel supported, motivated, and organized and were incredibly easy to work with and understanding. They even went above and beyond to help me navigate a tough waitlist situation over several months, helping me drive communication both with the school, alumni, and other resources. At the end of the day, I got interviews for every school I applied to and was accepted into all of those where I went through the interviews. A huge thank you to Scott and his team for all their help I highly recommend them to anyone looking to start (or for any point during) the MBA application process.

I met Scott 3 years ago at an MBA fair in Paris. I decided to work with him for my round 2 applications and called him pretty late in the process. I was worried about my low GPA, my age and the price tag. From the initial meeting, Scott gave me non-sugarcoated advice about my candidacy. Working with The Scott’s team was amazing. The team is highly professional. There were a lot of exchanges and I was pushed to think deeply on my career goals and the meaning of every bit of sentences in my application documents. Be prepared to be challenged on that part. Towards the end of the preparation, the team checked how I felt about my work. I was very proud of the quality of my application! The interview prep was great too. I was asked the same questions I was asked during my real interviews (shout out to Nicole and Jacqueline!).
I applied to 2 US schools (CBS and Booth) and 1 European school, got admitted at both the US schools with scholarships and haven’t received the European’s school response yet but I am pretty sure It will be a “yes”.
All in one, this outcome would never have been possible without Scott and his amazing team (I know it for sure since I applied round 1 with another consultant on an hourly basis and looking back, I can confidently say that I messed these applications up).
Calling Scott was the best decision I made next year! Thank you, Scott and the Personal MBA Coach team for this outcome!

Scott and his team were absolutely fantastic! I could not have gotten through the MBA process without him! I used his services for applying to 5 schools and GMAT tutoring. I got into my top choice program at an M7 and couldn't be happier!

I started the MBA application process pretty late (treated it like a sprint, not a marathon). I started working through applications and the GMAT together starting in June/July for R1 deadlines in September. I reached out to Scott because I knew I was going to be overwhelmed. I was looking for somebody who'd keep me honest, was organized, pragmatic, easily approachable, and knew his stuff. Scott 100% met this.

Throughout the process Scott was a voice of reason. He's great at listening to you and explaining the nuances of the application process. When I was considering pushing some of my applications to R2 Scott helped me strategize so that I maximized my chances in both rounds. The turn around on essay reviews were very quick, the feedback always targeted and actionable. Whenever I started falling behind on timelines (which was often!), I got a gentle reminder to help keep me on track.

The interview prep also really helped. The mock interviewers are former members of admissions committees for top schools and have actual experience with admissions reviews. Nicole from Scott's team did my interview prep and she was fantastic. The feedback is provided real time and takes into consideration the school you're prepping for and what is important for that school.

I could not recommend Scott and his team more! You won't go wrong with Personal MBA coach.

Working with Scott is a well-oiled machine. Scott is extremely knowledgeable about different schools and has connections at various programs. He also makes himself available to discuss any concerns over the phone on short notice, and is very responsive over email. He delivers very honest feedback about essays and candidacy, and does not sugarcoat. I really appreciated that he sticks to his 2-day turnaround times for essay edits. Sometimes I got to 5 or 6 versions of essays. Throughout the process, Scott was helpful and kind without losing his honesty. Scott made this very stressful process a lot more bearable for me. Thanks, Scott!

As a STEM applicant with little to no insight into the business school application process, I knew I needed the guidance of admissions experts to optimize my chances of getting in. I came across Personal MBA Coach during my research on consultants, and I was impressed with the consistently positive reviews and the caliber of schools that their clients were getting accepted to.

I purchased the Comprehensive Package and worked with Scott and Nicole, both of whom were very responsive, honest and knowledgeable about all aspects of the application process. They, along with my editor, helped me craft my narrative such that my goals were clearly defined and my strengths and expertise were highlighted. The interview prep was also incredibly helpful as it prepared me for what to expect and how best to answer the questions. Throughout the entire process, they were able to tailor their guidance to recommend what would be best for me because they made an effort to get to know me and my story. I would also give extra stars if I could for how willing they were to make extra time for me last-minute and outside of business hours!

If you’re hesitating because of the price tag, I was in the same situation, but I am so glad I went for it. It is definitely an investment that will pay off in the long run! This was the first and only time I applied and I received multiple admission offers so I did not have to pay for another application cycle, and the scholarships I received more than compensated for how much I paid for Personal MBA Coach’s services. I would highly recommend Personal MBA Coach!
