Scott is a fantastic coach. He gave me the confidence to reach for schools I didn't believe I could get int to. Once I had the confidence, he provided me with all the tools I needed to achieve my goals.
I was able to get into most of my target schools and was offered scholarships at many of them, including the school I now attend, so it is definitely worth the investment!
I loved the structured approach to writing essays, making applying to the six schools I did not feel as daunting. He reminds you of important things like how to approach letters of recommendation and interviews.

Scott and his team delivered beyond my expectations. Firstly, GMAT was a major stress point; Scott has some great tutors working with him, and I was able to get 730 - much higher than I thought would be possible. Their tailored approach to GMAT prep, combined with intensive practice, was crucial to my success.

Secondly, I got admitted to Chicago Booth, which seemed like a dream at the start. Initially, I was searching for the easier route, considering less competitive schools. However, Scott was insistent that it would be a big mistake and that I should aim as high as possible. His encouragement pushed me to set more ambitious goals.

Finally, he and his team helped craft my story and secure the desired admission to Chicago Booth.

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.

Working with MJ Shores through personal MBA coach was well worth it. She was professional and patient. I felt prepared and knowledgeable when going through resumes, essays and the interview. I ultimately got into Wharton which was the goal I set out for! They have admissions knowledge and experience that you as the applicant simply won’t have. They guide you through the process and really take a lot of the mystery out of the process. I would do it all over again if I had to. A full time MBA is a huge investment of time and money as is, I felt it was worth it to go into the application process as informed as possible and this service met my wishes.

Personal MBA Coach provided a clear, structured process that pushed me, a non-traditional candidate with significant gaps in work experience and varied industry history, to zero in on exactly what I wanted out of the MBA and how to communicate that to my target schools. The results speak for themselves: I was admitted to all schools I applied to (T10 and M7) with 85-100% tuition scholarships at each school.
I knew Personal MBA Coach was different from other consultants I had spoken with after talking to Scott. His generosity, creativity, and genuine willingness to meet the applicant where they are at in the application process and in terms of available resources stood out to me immediately. With his help, we crafted a package precisely tailored to my needs. The level of care and sense of mission with which he treats each applicant cascades through the organization, and I recognized the same qualities of Scott’s approach in the consultant I worked with, MJ Shores.
MJ was a delight from the start. She was curious about the entirety of my story, always searching for useful threads and themes that could be used to craft a compelling narrative for my candidacy. She pushed me to think critically and practically about every aspect of my application, demanding that every element I introduced had a practical application in how the MBA would help me achieve my goals or a practical impact on my story of why I needed to pursue an MBA now. Working with MJ was a rigorous, challenging process that helped me understand exactly what I want out of my MBA, future professional development, and the values I want to champion as a leader.
If you are a non-traditional candidate considering an MBA and feel daunted by the process or like an outsider who this path is not for, call Personal MBA Coach and speak with Scott. Personal MBA Coach gave me the support I needed to make my best possible application I could and I would recommend working with them to every prospective MBA candidate.

I started my journey unarmed and ignorant of the MBA admission scene. As I started reading about it I found out that I would requiere help to make the most of my time, otherwise I might even loose my momentum.
I read and interviewed with 5 different firms and felt with Scott and team a great rapport and trust from the very beginning. My expectations were aligned towards success which with my international 40-yr old profile were a challenge to begin with.
I felt the good of my decision when the work started and the gentle, expert, but steady guide. Breaking my head to create my story and phrase it the best way possible was hard work , but even though I had to rewrite several times I never felt alone and actually ended up admiring the output of all that effort and revisions.
The team is stellar and it’s clear there is a very clear teamwork and effort towards our success.
I feas able to see how good my choice was when I got 3 admissions with enviable scholarships materialize in my inbox in the first round.
