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!

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!
