Testimonials

Applying to business school, I knew that there would be challenges as my lackluster undergraduate GPA put me at a significant disadvantage. With the Personal MBA team’s guidance, I achieved a solid GMAT score and presented my profile in the best way possible. From identifying areas of my profile that needed refining to figuring out the best way to prepare and present myself, Scott and the team were consummate professionals. I would not have been able to do this without the PMBA team, period. 

Scott, Avi, and the whole Personal MBA Coach team were instrumental in the Business School Application process – undoubtedly helping me earn admission to my dream school. They helped me gain insight into my background and experiences and translate them into business skillsets. Their feedback on essays was timely and thoughtful, and they always pushed me to dig deeper – resulting in much more holistic and cohesive responses. Scott was straightforward, insightful, and easy to work with. Avi was also awesome, and his assistance with test prep was invaluable. Overall, great experience and highly recommend. Do yourself a favor and get some great guides on this business school journey!

Scott and his team did a remarkable job. Firstly, for which I am most grateful, Scott pushed me hard to stop being lazy, buckle down, and focus on getting admitted to the best school on my list, which was Chicago Booth. Secondly, I used Personal MBA’s tutoring service, which helped me exceed my expectations, scoring 730. Finally, the team helped me craft strong application letters and short answers. Getting into Chicago Booth was more than I would have dared to target at the beginning of my journey, but it was made possible with some great help. 

When I decided to pursue an MBA, the option of choosing a coach was not easy but The Personal MBA Coach and Scott were the perfect choice. I had a very ambitious list of schools I was interested in. And once the process started, they immediately dove in to help shape my story, ensuring it was both authentic and compelling for the programs I applied to. They struck a perfect balance between edits while allowing me to maintain ownership of my narrative. Their guidance also helped me present my achievements in the best possible light while instilling confidence in my story. I was incredibly proud of my essays and short questions by the end of it.

Their support during the interview process also played a crucial role, the mock interviews were a great tool that offered detailed feedback that made me feel confident and ready for the actual interview.

Ultimately, I received admission offers from four schools with scholarship offers—an outstanding outcome for any MBA aspirant.

Scott provided helpful support throughout the entire application process, guiding me in the right direction. His support was invaluable, and I am deeply grateful to him and his team for their assistance.

Scott was recommended by my friend (Wharton alum) who worked with Scott during her application a few years ago. It was a short period of time for me to prepare and hit (a month or so) Round 1 deadline of Wharton. Having Scott and his team as advisors really gave me piece of mind, not only because they had so much experience, success stories, and insights to guide me, but also they knew how to manage time and execute. They were responsive and accountable – always provided feedback during the time window promised. The strong execution and time management skills are things I learned the most from them, which is essential in my MBA program. I not only submitted before Round 1 deadline, but also was admitted. I’m truly grateful for Scott and his team.

Scott has been a tremendous help on my journey towards my MBA. Not only has he provided me with a set of skills—starting from my ability to clearly articulate and communicate my goals, past experiences, and skills—but he has also greatly assisted me in identifying what my path could be. He pushed me out of my comfort zone, encouraging me to take time to think about my future, my aspirations, and what I want to accomplish. I will be forever thankful to Scott and his team for the impact they have had on my career. 

I started my MBA application journey with very little knowledge of the entire process, what schools to consider, and how my non-traditional background would fit in the B-School landscape. Scott and his team were incredibly supportive and considerate with helping me identify the right program. They really took time to understand my story and pulled out great experiences that I could highlight in my application. I really could not have done this without Scott & his team’s help. I would definitely recommend!

When I reached out to Scott, he responded promptly and was eager to begin our collaboration. Scott acted swiftly and worked closely with me to ensure my application was polished and submitted according to my preferred timeline. Beyond the genuine care and commitment he demonstrated in shaping my narrative, what truly impressed me during my collaboration with Scott and his team was their talent for prompting thoughtful reflection on the “why.” Scott pushed me to delve deeply into the reasons behind my aspirations and consider the tangible benefits the MBA journey would provide in achieving these goals. Importantly, Scott played a crucial role in helping me select the right schools for my MBA journey.

Scott and all his team were really helpful throughout the whole process of applying to my deferred MBA- from school selection to interviewing. I felt supported throughout all my applications and felt like what I sent out was truly the best I could do. His team helped me prep for all my interviews, and made me go into them really confident. I highly recommend Scott and Personal MBA Coach overall.

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.

From crafting my story, advice on which school to apply to and the turnaround speed of edits, Scott was fantastic and frank. His is a passion for the work and not the money. I was a bit sceptical when I saw his 96% admissions success posts. Now I understand, it is true. He has got a personal touch and continues to push you back on essays so that you bring out your full story. Hooray!!!
