Kellogg Future Leaders 

Scott and his team provide exceptional support throughout the MBA application process. They are particularly effective in helping candidates clarify their goals, articulate their personal stories, and refine their application strategies. The guidance on essay writing stands out—they won’t do the work for you, but instead help you present your unique narrative in a clear and compelling way. For those who struggle with writing, especially non-traditional candidates or those from technical backgrounds, Scott’s team excels at transforming rough drafts into polished essays that truly shine.

Frenk was absolutely amazing. He worked through the entire admission process with me, breaking it down into simple, accomplishable steps. His understanding and insight into the process, in addition to the information by Personal MBA, was instrumental in my school acceptances. He was understanding, responsive, and super encouraging throughout the whole process.

I reached out to Scott after speaking with a few other consultants, based on reviews that I read online. And it turned out to be one of my best decisions!!! We started work pretty late for someone who wanted to get my applications in for Round 1. Scott and his team were pretty responsive and never once tried to push back on the timelines. The pace at which I received feedback on my application was phenomenal, mostly within 24 hours. I was a tad over experienced for a full-time MBA student and my prospects of getting into a top B-school, let alone an M7 school, was always small. But Scott helped me tell my story effectively, resulting in an admission from an M7 along with a couple of wait-list decisions. Definitely exceeded my expectations in terms of outcome. I highly recommend working with Scott & his team!!!

During the early stages of my search, I spoke with several consultants who worked for and promised the resources of a large organization. However, on my call with Scott, he promised me that he would personally review every aspect of my application – from the conversation about picking schools to getting the admit call – and he absolutely did!

Writing essays with Scott was incredibly easy – he challenged me to find my motivations and the right personal stories to demonstrate them. He had significant knowledge on what each school was looking for and helped guide my writing accordingly. Although Scott will not write your essays for you, he will push you by asking the right questions and make the writing process much more genuine and engaging.

I was eventually admitted to 3 M7 schools and 1 T15 (half-ride) with a mediocre GPA, which speaks volumes about Scott’s methods. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a more personal touch from the owner of the consulting firm directly.

I strongly recommend Scott for those seeking efficient, personable, and incredibly valuable advice on how to navigate the incredibly daunting MBA process. While it is a huge financial commitment (I went all in for 3 schools) to use a consultant and I was initially hesitant, it was worth EVERY cent and I would use the Personal MBA Coach team again in a heartbeat.

They are a team that will provide direct and honest feedback, help you refine and strengthen your narrative/essays, and consistently respond to drafts well before the agreed-on 2-day timeline. They will not spend countless hours on the phone with you but will answer emails on every component of the application process very quickly and truly are supportive. Different from my terrible experience with one of the largest consulting companies before I found Scott, the Personal MBA Coach team actually CARED about ME personally, and treated me as a human rather than a data point. Despite my initial conversations with the large, most popular consulting company who told me my school selection was unrealistic, after applying to 3 schools with the help of the Personal MBA Coach team, I got into Ross with a full ride and Kellogg with just over half of my tuition covered. I was also wait-listed at Duke. I am very grateful to the Personal MBA team for making my experience successful and am overjoyed to start my MBA at Kellogg next year!
