Testimonials

I absolutely recommend working with Scott and the whole PMC team. The amount of detail and thought put into every aspect of the application is quite incredible. Scott and his team were very easy to work with throughout the process.

He will keep pushing you until your goals statement (can be used in multiple goal essays across schools) and essays are absolutely top-notch and gold star. We went through 9-10 rounds of edits for my CBS essays!

Scott and his PMC team leave the best part for the last – the mock interview prep. The interview prep is spot on with questions that a specific school might ask. The mock interview is conducted by either a former Adcom member part of his team (Nicole or MJ) or by an alum of the school you are interviewing for. You are given a customized interview guide for each school with a set of questions with the highest probability of being asked, sometimes even an insider guide about what the school expects the interviewer to test, and a general master list of possible MBA interview questions. Post-interview, you receive detailed feedback on where you could do better.

I had multiple rejections in Round 2 last year. However, as someone who went through the application process again – reapplied to some schools and applied first time to some others (CBS was a new school for me) – I could see the noticeable difference in my resume, essays, and application after working with Scott.

Working with Scott and the PMC team was worth it as CBS has awarded me a $100k+ scholarship!

Looking back on my MBA application journey, I can say with certainty that the best decision I made was to hire Personal MBA Coach. I ended up getting into every single school that I applied to with many full rides. Scott’s expertise, dedication, transparency, and most importantly, patience, allowed for my lofty goals to become a reality. As I was searching for a consultant, I was given an important piece of advice: while consultants can be expensive, so is business school. This decision can make all the difference in the long run. I speak with conviction when I say that you won’t regret hiring Personal MBA Coach.

I had an amazing experience working with Scott and his team on my MBA applications this year. They took the time to really learn my story, motivations, and goals, and help me articulate those thoughtfully and authentically into my essays. They completely demystified the process for me, and were extremely patient and readily available to help and answer questions whenever needed. I got into my dream school and don’t think I could have done it without their guidance!

Scott and his team at Personal MBA Coach were absolutely incredible to work with. As someone without a lot of connections with business school experience/aspirations, finding a consultant was an important step that I had decided on quite early in my application journey. After shopping around the different options for a bit, I chose to work with Scott and his team for a couple of different reasons: they provide extremely comprehensive support; I felt that Scott genuinely cared about my MBA journey, and they had a great track record for M7 programs.

Although it’s still early in application season, I’ve already been admitted to Columbia Business School ED, and I can say without a doubt that Scott and his team’s support has been instrumental in my success. From the start, they’ve been masterful in helping me craft my story, patient in my many essays and resume revisions, and honest in their recommendations from an admissions perspective. I initially had the least confidence in my essays, resume, and recommendations, and with the editing and proofreading team’s help, I am now as confident in those as ever.

Post application submissions, I was also able to do a mock interview with someone on Scott’s team; with the help of their feedback, my next-day interview went super smoothly! Not only did they allow me to practice my responses, but they also gave me insight into the purpose of the interview and recommendations on how to better tell my story.

Finally, I think what really sets Scott apart from the other admissions consultants is his accessibility — I’ve had many small questions pop up throughout my application process (ranging from financial aid, application strategy, logistics, etc), and he’s been very patient and prompt in his responses. I would highly recommend working with Scott and his team at Personal MBA Coach, and I’m already looking forward to hearing back from the rest of my schools!

I worked with Scott and his team for my MIT Sloan waitlist strategy and Wharton EMBA application, and it all worked out very well. I got both offers and enjoyed the experience a lot. Unlike other firms, they will get to know you really well, provide insights from an admission perspective rather than an applicant perspective, and help you with detailed editing. I mostly love the project management tool used during the process, it is well organized and efficient to use. Thank you so much for the great experience and for the awesome outcome!

I had a fantastic experience with Scott and his team. Scott gives it to you straight while ensuring that you put your best foot forward in each application.

Resume and essay feedback were the highlights, with direct and pointed suggestions in every iteration. Essay feedback pushed me to really flesh out my MBA goals and show (rather than tell) personal stories. The feedback took my essay quality from ‘good’ to ‘great’.

Scott’s team comprises prior MBA students and interviewers from top schools, that help tailor interview responses to the school’s culture and values. I received an admit from every school I interviewed with.

I’d recommend Scott and PMC if you’re ready to put in the work and need direct/straightforward feedback and guidance to create the best possible application.

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!

Working with the Personal MBA Coach team was the best decision that I made as a re-applicant to Wharton (my top choice school). The Personal MBA Coach team significantly improved my application storyline and was a huge help in preparing for interviews. In my initial applications, I didn’t use an MBA consultant and didn’t even get an interview at Wharton. This year, I was admitted to Round 1 with Personal MBA Coach’s help. Highly recommend working with their team — it’s a challenging process but so worth it to have a partner like them throughout.

I highly highly recommend Personal MBA and Scott to everyone who is looking to apply for MBA. Each one of my application essays has gone through tens of edits and the team has really elevated my essays to another level! They have even improved my writing skills as well. The entire process is extremely smooth and the team is very responsive, always responding my questions within 48 hours. I got into 3 M7 schools in the end.

I never thought I would be one to pay for an admissions consultant, but as a military applicant applying from deployment, I could not have achieved the admissions results I did without Scott’s help. Scott and his team flexed to my variable military schedule and requirements to help me work through the process efficiently, and his in-depth admissions knowledge helped me craft an application I was proud of.
