Client Success Stories

I highly recommend working with Scott and team. Scott was there through every step of the process which included putting together applications and increasing my test scores. He pushed me to articulate my story and experience in a way that was both compelling and authentic. The interview prep with Scott’s team was enormous helpful as each of the schools I interviewed with had unique approaches. I ended up getting accepted to Wharton, Booth, and Kellogg with meaningful scholarships. I’m grateful I chose Personal MBA Coach to guide me through the process

I would highly recommend working with Scott and his team. I was working with a low GPA and average GMAT but Scott went above and beyond to help sharpen my story and connect it with my short and long term goals. He was honest with me throughout the process and was very personable, making it easy to work with him. He and his team were exceptional in helping me edit my essays and crafting a strong story to communicate to schools. I would highly recommend working with Scott if you want best-in-class services and support in getting accepted to your dream MBA program. I always felt that Wharton was a reach for me but with the help of Scott he helped make it a reality.

One of the key reasons I chose Scott was the fact that he individually had a great track record and that I got to directly work with him, unlike other firms who had multiple consultants and there was the ambiguity of whether I would get a good consultant to work with.

Scott has great clarity on how to approach the application for each of the schools and also offers great flexibility in the entire process. He made the entire process simple and easy to tackle, helping me apply to 6 schools in a satisfactory manner with time to spare (some other consultants I spoke with said the process is so complicated I could at max apply to 4 schools). The ability to apply to more schools reduced my risk of not getting admitted anywhere, and hence reduced the pressure on the entire process. Scott is very responsive and ensures he gets back for all communication within 2 days, even during weekends and holidays.

Scott’s clear approach uniquely tailored to each school helped me get into LBS, CBS, and Wharton. I wouldn’t have had the success I have without Scott’s guidance.

Working with the Personal MBA Coach team was the best decision I made. As a non-native speaker, Scott and the Personal MBA Coach team really helped me craft and refine my story throughout all the steps in the application process. The Personal MBA Coach team significantly enhanced my application storyline and was a fundamental help in preparing for interviews. In the end, I was admitted to all the schools I applied to (PT Kellogg and PT Booth), even getting a scholarship ($$) from one of them, with Personal MBA Coach’s help. I absolutely recommend working with their team. It’s a challenging and fun process, really worth the investment.

Choosing to work with The Personal MBA Coach and Scott was the best decision I could ever take. Applying for an MBA is not an easy process, specially from a foreign country. He gave me all the tools that I needed to complete an application that was true to myself while also helping me stand out. The guidance and support given is exactly what I needed to handle this process successfully. I ended up being admitted to several schools with scholarships and I couldn’t be happier!

I wholeheartedly recommend Scott as an outstanding MBA consultant who played a pivotal role in turning my MBA dream into a reality. His expertise was invaluable in crafting a strategic application plan, prioritizing schools, and aligning my personal and professional preferences to maximize my chances. Scott’s detailed knowledge of various programs and his encouragement for deep reflection on my aspirations were instrumental. beHis team did a great job staying on top of things and keeping everything organized when it came to meeting deadlines. For those in search of a consultant who ensures a personalized application process and offers valuable insights, I highly endorse Scott.

I came to Scott and team with a short list of three schools I was interested in and the less common field of investment management as my post-MBA goal. He wasted no time in helping me articulate my story in a way that was authentic to me and highlights elements that were uniquely important to each of the programs I applied for. Through the multiple rounds of edits, he was able to strike a delicate balance between guiding me to elaborate and clarify where needed and still letting me tell my own story.

Scott and team are also tremendously helpful in the interview preparation process. The mock interviews gave me a taste of what the actual interviews were like and helped target my efforts in the areas that needed improvement the most.

Their experience and professionalism really shine through the entire time I worked with them. It was also reassuring to have Scott one email or one call away when I needed support.

I was by no means an easy client. My testing saga ended up taking much longer than expected, and because of this, I ended up working with Scott and the team through R1 and R2. They never complained. While other firms I initially reached out to would not provide the flexibility for me to start working with them while still working through the testing, Scott had no problem with it. He also promised that I would have direct access to him, instead of someone who worked for him, as many of the other firms had arranged.

After finally getting a strong test score under my belt, I was left with about a month to complete all of my applications. While Scott and the team typically recommend and request that the essays be near completion at this stage, they worked through each draft with me up until the final deadlines. There were countless drafts and emails exchanged between us. They answered every nitpicky question that I had in a timely fashion, even during the holidays. When it came time to interview, Scott set me up with his interviewing experts, who thoroughly prepared me for each interview.

I ended up getting into every single school that I applied to with many full rides, and am now in the position to choose between Stanford, Harvard, and Wharton. I can say with certainty that the best decision I made was to hire Personal MBA Coach.

Working with Personal MBA Coach helped me significantly throughout the application process. The team was there with me from square one all the way to the end – from choosing schools to final interview prep. I found that the structure and timeline created by working with Personal MBA really helped ensure that I did not procrastinate and provided good prompts to overcome any writer’s block that came up.

I do not have a very typical background, and had no experience of applying to US universities, so I do not think I would have gotten in anywhere without Personal MBA Coach’s help.
