I could not recommend Scott and the Personal MBA Coach team highly enough! As a reapplicant, I went from being rejected (without interview) from all the schools I applied for the previous year (using a brand-name consultant), to a 75% hit rate on interviews and a 100% conversion rate from here working with Scott and the Personal MBA Coach team. I am now off to my #1 choice of school next August. The team work hard, round the clock and give you the tough love that you need in order to take your application to the next level. Look no further for the best in the business!

Scott Edinburgh, MJ Shores, and the other folks that make up the Personal MBA Coach Team far exceeded my expectations. They are experienced professionals who are generous with their time, helpful, and knowledgeable. The level of support I received truly was unmatched and exceeded the offerings of other Companies. I used them for both pre-MBA prep and for comprehensive application packages - this was the best decision I could have made going through the application process. If any of my friends and family are looking to apply to MBA programs, I would enthusiastically recommend Scott, MJ, and team without hesitation.

Scott, Nicole and the team are wonderful. They got back to me promptly every time I had a question and gave me insights that I don't think I could have gleamed without them. I didn't think I would have gotten into my dream B school without them. I think MBA applications are stressful regardless, but they were so patient and answered all my questions so thoroughly. From the initial phone screening to the meticulous interview prep I really felt like they had my back throughout the entire process. A big thank you, Nicole and Scott! Couldn't have done this without you.

As a deferred applicant, I worked with Scott and the Personal MBA Coach team on Wharton, and the process was seamless. I was amazed by how quickly I received feedback! The team and I worked through my entire app in ~3 weeks. The process was so fast, I was shocked when it was time to submit. At first, I thought it was too good to be true. I thought we missed something. But, the team patiently answered any follow-up questions and concerns I had, and weeks later I received an invitation to interview.

Also, I appreciate how Scott and each member of the Personal MBA Coach team offered clear guidance on my work. I left each call and draft review with a clear understanding of what I needed to do next. I still remember leaving my initial call with Scott feeling excited to start my essays!

Moreover, I love that the PMC team includes people who worked in admissions for top MBA programs previously. Working with the team felt like I was walking into the application process with all the answers. For example, when preparing for my Wharton TBD, I was anxious because there are so many things you can’t control with a group interview. But, the PMC team gave me clear pointers on how to stand out. That helped me feel confident entering the TBD.

Candidly, as a college senior, I was concerned about the cost of MBA coaching. Looking back, however, it was worth it. If you are serious about attending business school, I recommend you make the investment and work with PMC!

I had heard about Scott and the Personal MBA Coach through a close friend who found success with the service. Working with the Personal MBA Coach was the best decision I made throughout the MBA process! Scott and his team provided candid, personalized feedback across all aspects of the application, were extremely responsive, and most importantly, ensured that my authenticity shined throughout the entire application. With Scott and team’s help, I was accepted to Wharton, Tuck, Kellogg, Booth, and Columbia and was given scholarship offers for many of the listed schools! I am deeply grateful for the team holding me accountable to deadlines and making me feel thoroughly prepared for every school’s unique application. Furthermore, his team encouraged me to self-reflect on my career goals and aspirations and this clarity will definitely help as I embark on my MBA journey this fall. Personal MBA Coach is by far an impeccable team of folks to work with and I highly, highly recommend hiring them if you are interested in beginning the MBA process (trust me – the sooner the better)! Sincerest thank you to the team!!

Scott from Personal MBA Coach has been an exceptional consultant for me and I had experience with other consultants to compare with. The result speaks for itself: Scott's holistic view of the process and his ability to quickly grasp my story helped me get into one of the top 3 most selective business schools having just 6 days!!! before the application deadline. During the application process, Scott greatly helped me crystallize the right positioning for my case. He then went over the top to help me with other aspects of the application to help me meet the deadline. Although I've been already partially acquainted with the process I can honestly say that I would not be able to get it done in time with such a quality without Scott. Furthermore, his services improved my strategic positioning skills which I'm pretty sure I will benefit from throughout my entire career. I would highly recommend Scott to any applicant pursuing their MBA goals.

Scott was recommended to me by a friend who was using his service. I am so glad that I eventually decided to go with Scott! I got into both HBS and Wharton and will start my journey at HBS this coming fall. Scott and his team were very helpful throughout the process, helping me with my story and essays, as well as the interview prep. For each school I signed up with him, he and his team went through 6+ essay edits with me. Super patient! For HBS and GSB, we went through 10+ edits. Each time the comments were very helpful! In addition, shout out to MJ. She helped me with my interview prep for both HBS and Wharton. I would highly recommend them!

I got accepted into the Deferred Enrollment Program at CBS, and I have The Personal MBA Coach Team and Scott to thank for this. They helped connect my experiences and accomplishments to my future goals and portray it in an apt manner to the Adcoms. They are upfront about their feedback and only had my success in mind throughout the process. Innumerable rounds of review does not bother them. The interview prep is also spot on and extremely helpful to a nervous interviewee like myself. Without them, I don't think I would get into any deferred MBA program. I would strongly recommend them to any potential candidate.

Scott, Nicole, and the team did an amazing job helping me with brainstorming, essay editing, the application process, interview prep, and waitlist navigation. When we first started working they sent great information on how to write a successful application for my target schools. We then started chatting about what stories from my background make me unique and will be interesting to admissions. During the essay editing process, they pushed me to dig deeper and tell a more compelling story. Before hitting submit I had tons of application-specific questions and they did a great job of quickly answering them. Once invited to interview for a few schools they provided some fantastic school-specific tips and offered actionable feedback on ways to improve my answers. Scott and the team continued to support me during the waitlist process and answer my endless questions. I was able to get off the waitlist and accepted into one of my target programs. Highly recommend!

I worked with MJ from Personal MBA Coach for my applications. MJ took the time to learn about me personally and combine my experiences and passions into a cohesive narrative for my MBA and career goals. Though I was a career switcher with a broad range of experiences, MJ really helped my highlight my strong points as an applicant and articulate that clearly. The editors are also incredibly detail oriented and quick to turn things around. They explained why they were providing specific edits rather than just redrafting my essays, which was incredibly helpful. Writing for MBA applications is very different than anything else, even other graduate programs, but the editors really helped me understand how to approach all of my essays which was very helpful. If you can afford to do the inclusive school package, I would definitely recommend it!
