I worked with Scott on a package for five schools—all M7—and was accepted to every one of them. Overall, I applied to 11 schools, received interview invitations from 10, and was accepted to 9. The only two schools I was rejected from were the ones I didn’t work on with him.

Scott provided clear, strategic guidance that helped me shape compelling short- and long-term goals. His essay editing process, in particular, pushed me to be deeply introspective—it challenged me to reflect on my experiences, values, and motivations in a way that not only strengthened my application but helped me grow as a candidate and person.

His team was especially valuable during interview prep—shoutout to Jacqueline for being fantastic. His process is straightforward, efficient, and he was incredibly accommodating when I had less than four weeks to submit Round 2 applications.

With his support, I received a full scholarship to my second-choice school and was admitted to my top choice. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

There is a reason Personal MBA Coach is the gold standard for MBA Consultants - I can confidently say that working with Erin and the team was the single most pivotal factor in accelerating my ability to tell my story in a manner that resonates with Admissions Committees. Erin was exceptionally supportive throughout the process, even as I navigated some professional issues that impacted my ability to retake the GRE. Investing in working with Personal MBA Coach has paid off tenfold, given the generousFellowships/Scholarships I have received alongside my admissions offers (4/4 on Round 1). I would strongly recommend Personal MBA Coach to anyone considering support for their MBA application journey.

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.
