Client Success Stories

When I started the application process, I had a vague idea of what I wanted during and after business school. Scott helped me understand myself better by consistently pushing me to look deeper to see why I wanted what I wanted and to look at all of the possible ways of approaching it. He gave me a great balance between casting a wide net but still being fully structured in my approach to my applications, including specific goals that I set for my future.

I also found that it was hard to remain energetic during the application process with a demanding job, but Scott and his team were always motivating me to stay on track. What I most appreciated though, was their transparency about my application. He didn’t mince his words in telling me my weaknesses, allowing me to work towards improving in those areas and ultimately succeeding in getting into one of my dream schools on a scholarship.

From day 1, Scott will give you the honest, non-sugar-coated advice that everybody needs. As a business school applicant, you need to understand what your strengths are as well as your weaknesses. Most consultants are good at telling you your strengths, but they are not as good at telling you your weaknesses as they do not want to upset you. Scott was different, and hence I decided to go with Scott and his team.

Throughout the application process, I knew that I could rely on Personal MBA Coach as Scott was always there and would answer my emails/questions even during weekends or Christmas! From minor points in my overall story to locations I should select for my interviews, Scott would answer all my questions (no matter how minor and tedious they might be).

I am now admitted by one of the top 3 programs in the US and will be matriculating this fall. I highly recommend Personal MBA Coach if you are looking for the best consultant in the industry as I know I probably would not have made it without Scott and his team.

After a thorough due diligence process (I talked to the top 5 MBA/Masters consulting firms), I chose Personal MBA Coach for the certainty of working with a coach that had proven results and years of experience at the highest level. Scott is very good at helping you craft a story and then connecting all the dots of an application to make that story come alive. I had a general sense of why I was applying and what I was interested in but without Scott’s direction and structure it would have been hard to get to the final outcome.

Also – Scott is meticulous, patient and efficient, all very important qualities if you are a working professional – like me – who needs to get a lot done in a short period of time. While applying to school, I kept working a very demanding consulting job and nonetheless managed to get through endless draft essays until I felt I had reached ‘perfection’.

Ultimately, I was admitted in 4 of the top 5 programs I had applied to and I am so excited to have the opportunity to go to Harvard. I highly recommend Scott who can really be the extra factor that determines if you get or don’t get into your dream school.

The services gave me a framework to use for framing my mindset and experiences, as well as focusing my intentions and hitting scores necessary to be a competitive candidate. Since entering business school, I have been able to focus my energy on activities, classes, and networking that is within the scope of the intentions I set with the consulting services and I believe this ultimately is what led to my finding exactly the job I want for post-grad.
