Chicago Booth Scholars Program

Scott and his team were extremely helpful throughout the application process. I applied to the top 5 business schools and was admitted to 3 with considerable scholarship awards. Scott made himself available at any time to talk through any aspect of my application. His guidance was critical as I thought about how to present my career and life experience in essays and interviews. He gave direct feedback and wasted no time in getting me to focus on the most important things to highlight in my application. If you want someone to really push you to craft your best application, Scott is your man!

Scott was instrumental in my admittance into multiple T7 programs and scholarship awards. When faced with particularly demanding professional and personal demands leading up to round 1 applications, The Personal MBA Coach team was extremely flexible and generous with their time, working tirelessly with me to meet tight deadlines. From application/essay support to interview prep and scholarship negotiating strategy, Scott and his team were with me every step of the way. I owe much of my success to the thoughtful and tailored feedback that The Personal MBA Coach provided throughout the process and I would highly recommend Scott to aspiring students at all stages of their MBA journey.

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.

I had a great experience working with Scott and his team through the business school application process. Scott worked with me on every facet of my applications – initial story development, resume reconstruction, essay, and short-answer writing, interview preparation, etc. His feedback was consistently nuanced, direct, and prompt, allowing me to put together my best possible applications. With his help, I was admitted to Wharton, Booth, and CBS. I am 100% sure that I would not have been able to achieve these admissions without his help. Thank you, Scott!
