Harvard Business School 2+2 Application Process

Scott and his team were instrumental in guiding me through the MBA application process, helping me secure a spot at HBS. From the very first consultation, Scott took the time to truly understand my story and career aspirations. His team pushed me to dig deeper and highlight experiences that I hadn’t initially recognized as impactful, helping me craft a compelling and cohesive narrative.

The process was efficient and thorough, with clear milestones to track progress on essays, resumes, and interview prep. I especially appreciated his candid feedback and his ability to challenge me to refine my ideas while staying true to my voice.

I cannot recommend Scott and his team highly enough for anyone aiming for top business schools. Their expertise and dedication truly make a difference. Without them, I would not be heading to HBS next year!

It was clear early on that I would be utilizing the services of an admissions consultant. At the time, I didn’t believe I had the confidence necessary to put together my strongest application and felt it was important to navigate the process with a professional. I chose Scott and his team because of the positive feedback I’d heard, as well as having spoken with him directly. He was kind, and believed in me and my story. That was critical. All elements of my application were improved beyond my expectations and somehow along the way, I arrived at a new understanding of myself as a person.
I am grateful to everyone who was involved in this process (huge shoutout to MJ for the interview prep, absolutely phenomenal). Starting at Harvard next week!

I have so many great things to say about Scott, where to begin! I applied as active duty military and had a challenging schedule with a deployment and various periods of limited internet connectivity. Scott worked with me to create a timeline that took these constraints into account, and optimized my availability to get four Round 1 applications done on time. The insight and brainstorming support from his team helped me ensure all my submissions were unique, polished, and authentic to my story and my “why”, resulting in multiple M7 acceptances – including my top choice! Hiring Scott and Personal MBA Coach was the best choice I made!

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 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’d highly recommend working with Personal MBA Coach.

MJ helped me prepare for my HBS interview, and I left our session feeling much more confident about nailing the real interview. She made sure to go over my resume in great detail to prepare for the probing questions that the interviewers were expected to ask, and helped me hone my answers to be more concise and impactful. I went into the interview knowing exactly what to expect, which helped calm my nerves tremendously. My interview ended up going very well, and I was ultimately accepted to HBS. I couldn’t be happier with my experience with MJ, and would highly recommend her!
