After speaking to several admissions consultants, I got the feeling that working with Scott would be the right decision. I was correct. Scott was excellent at providing suggestions that highlighted my strengths and helped navigate the somewhat awkward process of writing about myself. He was also frank and direct, qualities that were invaluable during that period of self reflection and helped me craft an authentic yet refined narrative. Further, the interview prep facilitated by Scott was incredibly helpful to understand how to position myself after earning interviews.

Ultimately, I was admitted to both of the M7 schools to which I applied in large part due to the work that I did with Scott.

During the early stages of my search, I spoke with several consultants who worked for and promised the resources of a large organization. However, on my call with Scott, he promised me that he would personally review every aspect of my application - from the conversation about picking schools to getting the admit call - and he absolutely did!

Writing essays with Scott was incredible easy - he challenged me to find my motivations and the right personal stories to demonstrate them. He had significant knowledge on what each school was looking for and helped guide my writing accordingly. Although Scott will not write your essays for you, he will push you by asking the right questions and make the writing process much more genuine and engaging.

I was eventually admitted to 3 M7 schools and 1 T15 (half-ride) with a mediocre GPA, which speaks volumes about Scott's methods. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a more personal touch from the owner of the consulting firm directly.

I signed up with Scott given my connection through my current consulting firm (and Scott's prior one). I knew he had helped some friends of mine and they had all highly recommended Scott. I signed up for the full school package for 2 out of my 3 Round 1 schools. Scott and his team took on my two schools even though I was pretty late in the process for starting Round 1 applications. Scott and his team provided extremely timely feedback on each of the items we worked on together, which utlimately led me to be prepared to submit my applications on time. Despite not interviewing for the two schools that I had packages for, Scott connected me with an alum to interview prep for the third school. Scott's passion for his students really show through in his above and beyond approach.

I chose to go with Scott after making the usual consultation rounds as I felt our initial chat was the most earnest and straightforward out of everyone that I talked to. I liked the fact that his business model allowed him to personally oversee my application process the whole way through.

Scott's pedigree second to none as is his deep deep knowledge of the top institutions and the candidate profiles they go after. I knew I needed someone to help me craft my story and help me refine my essays, and Scott's team was able to push me to produce materials that surpassed my expectations. He won't do the work for you, and that's essential to creating a sincere story that addresses what adcoms are looking for. I also found the team performing interview prep both honest and invaluable and was able to use their advice across multiple schools. I'm extremely pleased with my decision to work with Scott and recommend him to any candidate, especially those that are new or have little experience to the application process.

I hired Scott after I spoke to a few consultants, some of them even suggested me to not apply with 3 years of work experience. However, Scott took on the challenge to help me build my story. He spent a considerable amount of time getting to know me, and then drafting the story with me. He was extremely honest (a MUST quality in a consultant). He helped me optimize my school selection process, pushed me to give GMAT again to improve my score, and helped me get into 3 schools of my choice. I would definitely recommend him for the MBA application journey.

If you're going to hire a consultant, hire Scott. Hands down, he was the most straightforward and helpful of the 10+ consultants I spoke with on the phone for initial intro calls. He also always kept his word and was very responsive, kind, and fair. I was hesitant to hire a consultant at first, but after speaking with him (and meeting him in person at an MBA fair - huge plus, as he does speaking engagements across the country), I knew I had made the right choice. From day 1, Scott was value add and clearly very smart, and really helped me craft the best possible version of my story. He will not do the work for you but will guide you towards your best work product and help your authentic voice shine through, which is really the best you can ask for in an admissions consultant! He also was super helpful in continuing to offer his support even after I was admitted to my dream school and looking for pre-MBA internships. Cherry on top is that he's super positive and easy to work with!

Highly recommend Scott - best admissions consultant in the business!

Yes it’s possible to work on your applications yourself and to just ask your friends and family to help edit your essays but why not set yourself up for the best chance by hiring a professional admissions consultant who will help guide you through the entire process?

Like most, I was initially hesitant about hiring a consultant. But after my first introductory call with Scott, I knew I had to work with him. Having been out of school for ~4 years, I was a little rusty with my writing but Scott continued to push me and I was able to write compelling essays for my applications. I also really appreciated the quick turnaround between all of the edits. The mock interviews that Scott helps set up with former MBA interviewers were also extremely helpful and helped me be more confident for my actual interviews.

Out of the 5 schools I applied to, I’ve been accepted into 1 with a decently sized scholarship, waitlisted at another, and I’m waiting to hear back from 2. Obviously hoping for some more good news down the road but it’s nice to have 1 admit so far and I wholeheartedly attribute this success to Scott and Personal MBA Coach!

Before deciding to work with Scott I interviewed 5 or 6 other consultants. Ultimately, I decided to go with Scott for two reasons 1. I wanted to know the person who I was going to be working with and 2. He promised me that he would be brutally honest with his feedback. Working with Scott was a pleasure, he helped frame my story and provided very personalized and tailored feedback. He held true to his word and gave very honest feedback that pushed me to produce better essays. We applied to five schools and I was rejected from two and waitlisted at 3, not the ideal result we were hoping for. Scott helped me game plan for the waitlist and continued to work with me as I provided updates to the schools. Ultimately got into one of the three I was waitlisted at and dropped the rest. I could not have done it without Scott.

After going through numerous consultants, I knew Scott was the right one for me due to his no BS approach. I didn’t have much of a story when I began the process, and Scott really helps you craft something that is unique and resonating. Applying to top schools in an over represented demographic, I was able to gain admittance despite average stats. Throughout the daunting process, Scott kept me honest and disciplined and was very responsive, always getting back to me within 24 hours. I would not be where I am without his professional guidance. Highly recommend Scott without any reservations!

Personal MBA coach is extremely knowledgeable, easy to get in touch with, and understands your profile very well when guiding you for schools to apply to. The interview coaching was also extremely helpful. Scott guided me on what aspects of my application to talk about, the importance of framing my background with important and illustrative stories and a lot more. Scott's essay suggestions were extremely direct and constructive, which was important with limited time I had to write the essays while working. Scott also provided me with GMAT tutoring services for math, which was extremely helpful and affordable. Highly recommend!
