I came to Scott wanting to apply to 6+ deferred programs right out of undergrad, with the goal of getting into at least one with my non-traditional background. After an initial consult where he was candid and constructive on my chances and how to improve them, we got right into work crafting goals, application strategies, LOR support, resume editing, and essay writing. Scott would never let more than 24 hours go past without answering any question I posed or providing feedback on one of my drafts. This was no easy task, as all my essays and even short answer responses sometimes reached 10+ versions before they were ready, but Scott was patient and extremely helpful through every step. From brainstorming to final proofing, PMC could not have been better in responsiveness and knowledge of the application process, particularly as it deferred from school to school. Safe to say it was well worth the investment, as I got interviews at ~80% of the schools I applied to and an acceptance to HBS 2+2 (my dream school and the one I will be attending!)

I started my MBA application journey with very little knowledge of the entire process, what schools to consider, and how my non-traditional background would fit in the B-School landscape. Scott and his team were incredibly supportive and considerate with helping me identify the right program. They really took time to understand my story and pulled out great experiences that I could highlight in my application. I really could not have done this without Scott & his team’s help. I would definitely recommend!

Scott and all his team were really helpful throughout the whole process of applying to my deferred MBA- from school selection to interviewing. I felt supported throughout all my applications and felt like what I sent out was truly the best I could do. His team helped me prep for all my interviews, and made me go into them really confident. I highly recommend Scott and Personal MBA Coach overall.

Scott knows the MBA admission world. I was working on a time crunch, as I decided to apply to deferred MBA programs fairly last minute, but Scott was patient and very helpful regardless. His best trait is knowing when to say no and being straightforward. I like that he would never hesitate to tell me when something I wrote is not adding value and will provide suggestions to other ways to approach the essay.

It was such a pleasure to work with Scott through my deferred application process. I had the opportunity to compare my own application process with those of my friends, who used other top consulting firms for their deferred process. It turns out that Scott and the Personal MBA Coach team totally outperformed those big name firms in almost all aspects. No useless and lengthy pre-application personal reflections, no delayed email response, very targeted service for each school, and highly candid and critical feedback for every single word I wrote in my application essays. The most important thing I would highlight here is the multiple systematic and in-depth rounds of essay revisions. I highly recommend deferred applicants to hire Scott as their consultants (as early as possible, as I started my process 18 months before the application deadline) since from my personal experiences, I don’t see anyone else doing the same level of work as Scott does.

As a deferred applicant, I worked with Scott at Personal MBA Coach to prepare for Wharton, and the process was seamless. I was amazed by how quickly I received feedback! Scott and I worked through my entire app in ~3 weeks. The process was so fast, that 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, Scott patiently answered any follow-up questions and concerns I had, and weeks later I received an invitation to interview.

Also, I appreciate how Scott 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 PMC includes people who worked in admissions for top MBA programs previously. Working with Scott 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, Scott 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!

As a STEM applicant with little to no insight into the business school application process, I knew I needed the guidance of admissions experts to optimize my chances of getting in. I came across Personal MBA Coach during my research on consultants, and I was impressed with the consistently positive reviews and the caliber of schools that their clients were getting accepted to.

I purchased the Comprehensive Package and worked with Scott and Nicole, both of whom were very responsive, honest and knowledgeable about all aspects of the application process. They, along with my editor, helped me craft my narrative such that my goals were clearly defined and my strengths and expertise were highlighted. The interview prep was also incredibly helpful as it prepared me for what to expect and how best to answer the questions. Throughout the entire process, they were able to tailor their guidance to recommend what would be best for me because they made an effort to get to know me and my story. I would also give extra stars if I could for how willing they were to make extra time for me last-minute and outside of business hours!

If you’re hesitating because of the price tag, I was in the same situation, but I am so glad I went for it. It is definitely an investment that will pay off in the long run! This was the first and only time I applied and I received multiple admission offers so I did not have to pay for another application cycle, and the scholarships I received more than compensated for how much I paid for Personal MBA Coach’s services. I would highly recommend Personal MBA Coach!

I was so impressed with Scott and the team’s willingness to help. Scott went the extra mile every day. I’m so thankful that due to their help I was admitted to MIT Sloan on my first try. If you are looking for the best, then Scott is 100% the right option.

I am currently a college senior. I’ve worked with Scott to apply for 6 MBA programs that have early admission/ deferral program. Now I have been accepted to one school and waiting for results on others. For the school I’ve been accepted, I also got half tuition which totally paid off the consultancy fees. I have to say that it has been a wonderful experience working with Scott…Throughout the application process, he played a pivotal role. First of all, since I am a younger applicant, I was essentially writing on my goals after 4 years (2 years of deferral period and then 2 years of MBA). Scott was able to help me sort out all my possible options and evaluate which one works the best. It was more than writing an essay but more like helping me to sort out my life. He could help me to explore all career options because he himself graduated from Wharton and have had a wide range of industry background. He was extremely patient and would hop on a call with me when necessary…It was awesome working with Scott and I would totally recommend anyone who is considering going to MBA.
