I can't recommend Scott and his team enough. They are extremely comprehensive, structured, and professional in their approach to guiding you. Applying to business school really forces you to introspect and ask yourself why you really want an MBA. Scott and co, really help you through this introspection process, and you kind of learn more about yourself in the process, and I think that's why they are very good at what they do. I applied to only M7 schools + Haas, I got interviews from 5 and 4 admits . Even the interview coaching was very structured. If I were a prospective MBA applicant, I wouldn't think twice about going elsewhere, Scott is your guy.

Scott and his team at Personal MBA Coach were absolutely incredible to work with. As someone without a lot of connections with business school experience/aspirations, finding a consultant was an important step that I had decided on quite early in my application journey. After shopping around the different options for a bit, I chose to work with Scott and his team for a couple of different reasons: they provide extremely comprehensive support, I felt that Scott genuinely cared about my MBA journey, and they had a great track record for M7 programs.

From the start, Scott and his team were masterful in helping me craft my story, patient in my many essays and resume revisions, and honest in their recommendations from an admissions perspective. I initially had the least confidence in my essays, resume, and interviews, and with the support of the editing and interview prep teams, I was as confident in those as ever. For perspective, I applied to seven schools, received six interviews, and was then admitted to all six, some with significant scholarships. From those results alone, I think the quality of the support really speaks for itself, and I credit much of it to each step being handled by true experts.

Finally, I think what really sets Scott apart from the other admissions consultants is his accessibility — I’ve had many small questions pop up throughout my application process (ranging from financial aid, application strategy, logistics, etc), and he’s been very patient and prompt in his responses. He really understands that every component of the application matters.

Results-wise, I will be attending my top choice of MIT Sloan this fall. Outside of that, I was also admitted to CBS ED and Wharton, and I additionally was admitted to Kellogg, Ross, and Stern with significant scholarships (with Stern being a full ride). As someone who initially was not confident at all with the admissions process, this cycle was a tremendous success, and I could not have done it without the support of Scott and his team. I would highly recommend working with Scott and his team at Personal MBA Coach for personal, knowledgeable, and comprehensive support in your business school applications.

An investment that is worth every penny: Scott and the Personal MBA Coach team were an absolutely amazing resource for tying together my application package. The strength of his program provided me with a feeling of insurance that I was showing MBA admissions boards the best written version of myself. The editors on staff are extremely responsive and interactive when it comes to articulating your ideas and crafting your “story” into a written essay format. The editor that worked with me would return comments on my writing typically within 24-48hrs which dramatically eased the iteration process and any stress associated with the application timeline.
Furthermore, the proofreader milestone in which finalized essays are scrubbed to perfection provides you with strong reassurance that the pieces of your application are truly ready when it comes time to actually click the “SUBMIT” button.
Most importantly, Scott is incredibly available for a gut check conversation whenever needed. The Personal MBA Coach team does an incredible job working through your written products while Scott provided me with great big-picture consulting guidance for navigating the application cycle.
Tremendous resource.

I had a wonderful experience working with Scott and his team! I’ve been admitted to my top choice M7 school and received a full scholarship at another school.

I had initial consultations with several other consulting services but chose to work with Scott because I felt he was the most honest and genuine when analyzing my profile. He offered unbiased feedback on my school goals and gave me suggestions on how to boost my application by pushing myself harder on the GMAT and taking the time to dive deeper into my extracurriculars. When I was ready to apply a year later I knew exactly who I wanted to work with. I chose to work with Scott through my entire application and each part (essays, resume, letter of recommendation, etc.) had a strategy and framework which took all the guesswork out of the application for me.

Essay and resume editing was extremely easy and I felt it was truly collaborative. He took the time to understand my goals and story so I always received very clear feedback with suggestions on how to more effectively communicate my interests and highlight different parts of my story depending on the school’s prompts. I also really enjoyed the interview prep process and found the feedback from each of my prep sessions invaluable in boosting my confidence and giving me frameworks to use to thoughtfully answer questions. Everybody on the team was a pleasure to work with!

I would absolutely recommend Scott to anyone looking to apply to MBA! His process took all the guesswork out of my application process and he genuinely cares about supporting your goals!

I cannot recommend the Personal MBA Coach team enough! After talking with other companies, I chose Scott's team; he was honest and genuine in sharing his thoughts about my profile and collaborated with me to design a plan. Scott assisted me throughout the process, worked with me to brainstorm essay ideas, and helped me re-gain confidence when I ran into some bumps during the application process. Huge shoutout to the entire team overall for the great mock interview experiences and fantastic essay edit suggestions! I ended up getting admitted to a couple of M7/S16 programs with high scholarships. I even got admitted to a dream school! I'd absolutely highly recommend working with Personal MBA Coach.

Scott provides support that helps you define your story in a way that is authentic while also being clear and well thought-out. I especially appreciated his explanations whenever I had questions about his recommendations or approaches. He was also very transparent about where my best odds were and giving me recommendations of where I might also consider applying. Scott really helped me put my best foot forward, and I know I was more successful than I otherwise would have been! I got into four out of six schools I applied to, including one M7 and one full-ride scholarship! I have already recommended him to several friends who are looking for ding analysis or waitlist support who did not use a consultant or who were not happy with theirs.

I am truly happy to recommend Scott and the Personal MBA Coach team!
Getting in touch with Scott at the beginning of the application process was the best choice I could possibly make. The incredible result of getting an admit offer from two M7 schools and LBS (and waitlist offer to a third M7 school) would have not been possible without the structured support of Scott and team, let alone the fact that I submitted 4 applications for Round 1 starting the applications two months prior to the deadline.

The service level is absolutely top-notch. From brainstorming to finalize the pool of target schools for application, to editing the resume and essays, I was always amazed by the honest, high-quality, effective and timely feedback and inputs I received from Scott and the team.

I totally recommend Scott and the Personal MBA Coach team to anyone looking to make their dream of getting into a top business school real!

I fall short of words to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible work Scott, and his team (Ujjwal, and Jackie) did in helping me apply to some of the most selective business schools in the world. As a member of an overly represented demographic (Indian Engineer Male), I knew that the competition would be tough and my list of schools was incredibly risky. But Scott took on the challenge head on and made it look easy with his expert guidance and support. Scott’s calm and structured approach helped me stay on track and not lose my nerves at any point in the process. As a result, I was able to submit most of my essays well in advance of their deadlines.

And now, thanks to their efforts and lightning-fast response times, I have received offers from two of the top business schools in the world - an M7 school and Europe's number one school, along with an interview invite from another M7.

Personalmbacoach’s level of service was truly top notch. The team’s professionalism made the entire process so much smoother and less stressful for me.

I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking to apply to business school.

I've never had such a thorough review of my resume before. The Personal MBA Coach team did a deep dive into my materials. They helped me reorganize my resume, reviewed my bullet points, and gave me very specific feedback on how to improve it. On my essays, they did not hold back! They commented on the content and style, and I feel confident that my essays are as strong as they can be. They also had an extremely fast turn around time. My materials with comments were back to me within a matter of days. I highly recommend this service!

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!
