Scott is the Best - Would Work With Again in a Heartbeat

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Scott helped me bring my voice to my essays and craft a story that was authentic to me. I didn’t want to leave anything on the table applying to M7 schools. Scott is thoughtful, experienced, and objective. He made himself available throughout the process to help me gut check my schools and which pieces of my experience and story to bring out to differentiate myself from other consultants. His expertise and detailed prep plan supported me at every step of the application process and gave me the structure, direction and confidence to stay focused and motivated. I was beyond proud of each of my applications, and received a top scholarship to my top school (M7).

Highly Recommend - Personal MBA Coach

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

I highly recommend other consultants to use Scott Edinburgh. He is truly the best there is and every aspiring student should learn from him. I really appreciated his support and happy to say that I received an interview from everywhere I applied. Just received two offers and I'm waiting to hear back from 4 schools over the next couple weeks. He is always very responsive and supportive when I was figuring out my post MBA career path. Him and his team are super hardworking, and the packages are very comprehensive. Without his support, I would've been lost and unsure on how I can best stand out in an application.

M7 Admit

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

When I reached out to Scott, he responded promptly and was eager to begin our collaboration. Scott acted swiftly and worked closely with me to ensure my application was polished and submitted according to my preferred timeline. Beyond the genuine care and commitment he demonstrated in shaping my narrative, what truly impressed me during my collaboration with Scott and his team was their talent for prompting thoughtful reflection on the "why." Scott pushed me to delve deeply into the reasons behind my aspirations and consider the tangible benefits the MBA journey would provide in achieving these goals. Importantly, Scott played a crucial role in helping me select the right schools for my MBA journey.

Multiple T7 Admits

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

Scott was instrumental in my admittance into multiple T7 programs and scholarship awards. When faced with particularly demanding professional and personal demands leading up to round 1 applications, The Personal MBA Coach team was extremely flexible and generous with their time, working tirelessly with me to meet tight deadlines. From application/essay support to interview prep and scholarship negotiating strategy, Scott and his team were with me every step of the way. I owe much of my success to the thoughtful and tailored feedback that The Personal MBA Coach provided throughout the process and I would highly recommend Scott to aspiring students at all stages of their MBA journey.

M7 Admit with Scholarship - Highly Recommend!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

Personal MBA coach was incredible. The team is incredibly supportive and professional, while simultaneously being straight forward when helping me craft my story. I worked with a member of Scott's team and it is completely worth the investment! My GPA was in range but my test scores were on the lower side, so MJ helped me hone in on my story. She worked with me to tease out the details of my stories and articulate it in a clear and concise way. She and the team also prepped me for each of my interviews including a group one! I would highly encourage anyone applying to business school to consider them.

2x Deferred M7 admits!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Scott and his team are the absolute best! Scott has a ridiculous amount of knowledge about the MBA world, and for every school I applied to, I felt like I was given lots of very specific insights about what that school is looking for, how to approach their particular application, etc. The process of working with Personal MBA Coach is very efficient and comprehensive (including everything from rec letter reviews to mock interviews to infinite essay edits), which makes a complex admissions process far more manageable. Very satisfied with my outcome, and I could not have done it without the help of Scott and his team!

Dream Come True - Cambridge MBA

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Scott and his team were true heroes in my MBA journey, I decided to apply last minute for the last rounds for LBS and Cambridge which meant I only had 1.5 weeks to work on my applications for the two schools. Scott and his team were instrumental in helping me flesh out my personal statement, goals, and essays. Without their help I don't think I would've gotten to where I am today. Within a week of submitting my applications I was invited to interviews to both schools, and recently I was accepted into Cambridge with a grant. Still waiting to hear back from LBS but this goes to show just how effective Scott and his team are. They were there every step of the way for my nonstop essay edits, interview prep questions, and career worries. Couldn't recommend a better team.

Highly recommend Scott's services!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Initially, I thought I could handle my MBA application on my own. However, after being waitlisted at my dream school, Wharton, I realized I needed professional help to improve my chances of acceptance. I found Scott and his waitlist strategy package, and he was very responsive and gave me valuable tips and advice during our call. His suggestions were especially helpful since they contradicted some of the advice I had received from friends and family.

Scott’s experience working with Wharton waitlist applicants was evident, and I appreciated his straightforward and honest approach. After following his advice and getting his help with my update letter, I was thrilled to be accepted at Wharton about 1.5 months later. I’m so glad I signed up for Scott’s waitlist strategy. He’s a pro who’s been in the game for a long time, and he knows what he’s doing. I highly recommend Scott to anyone seeking help with their MBA applications, and I wish I had used his services from the beginning. Thanks for everything, Scott!

M7 Admit.

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I was originally going to MBA programs next year, but Scott convinced me to take the plunge in round 3. I was initially very skeptical, given that it was already February and I had not even begun to study for, let alone take the gmat. However, Scott guided me through the entire process and helped me put together 5 applications in only two months. I ended up being admitted to 4/5 of my schools with scholarships, including my first choice, Chicago Booth. Thanks Scott!

I'd recommend this service to anyone who is applying to business school. Scott was super responsive and helped me craft my essays, even when I was struggling to articulate my own thoughts. I do not think I could have gotten through this application cycle without him.
