Testimonials

Scott is so knowledgeable and helpful. He possesses so much insight and helpful tips as well as strategies for navigating so many nuances and parts of the process. I appreciated the ways in which he challenged me to fine-tune my materials. For example, in essay writing, I really benefited from how he pushed me to draw connections from my professional/community experiences to what I (at the time as an applicant/prospective) can do on campus in student groups/complement the school’s values and social environment. Furthermore, I appreciated the guidance I received in the interview stage. I received help with some questions I had some difficulty on. In addition, the feedback was very specific/line-by-line and I received guidance on how to structure/organize my thoughts and responses to enhance my concision. I highly recommend him.

Scott was super supportive since day one! He is extremely knowledgeable about the process and is exceptionally good at creating specific applications for specific schools. As an ORM with a not-so-stellar GRE score and below average WE, he was able to fine-tune my application which led to interviews at every school I applied! Ultimately, I got into my target school with $$. The combined scholarships received was over $100K!!

Scott was instrumental in my admittance into multiple T7 programs and scholarship awards. When faced with particularly demanding professional and personal demands leading up to round 1 applications, The Personal MBA Coach team was extremely flexible and generous with their time, working tirelessly with me to meet tight deadlines. From application/essay support to interview prep and scholarship negotiating strategy, Scott and his team were with me every step of the way. I owe much of my success to the thoughtful and tailored feedback that The Personal MBA Coach provided throughout the process and I would highly recommend Scott to aspiring students at all stages of their MBA journey.

I had a great experience working with Scott and the Personal MBA Coach Team! Scott was incredibly thorough in helping me with every aspect of the MBA application process. I came to him a little bit later and was still struggling with the standardized test part of my application. He found me a new tutor and within about 5 weeks, my GMAT score had jumped 100 points and we finished my top two applications in time for round one. Scott was professional and realistic in helping me curate a list of schools. The application process working with him is incredibly structured and seamless. He also made himself readily available to answer any question that I had. I would highly recommend working with him and his team!

When I embarked on my MBA journey, selecting the right consultant was crucial, and working with Scott and his team turned out to be the best decision I could have made. From the very beginning, Scott set the tone with an initial call that was all about understanding my goals and laying out a clear plan for the months ahead. One of the key areas where Scott excelled was helping me craft a resume that effectively showcased my experiences and created a cohesive narrative that aligned with my overall story. His ability to highlight my achievements and frame them in a way that resonated with admissions committees was invaluable. The essay writing phase ran smoothly, with his team offering great insights and constructive criticism while helping me craft essays that truly reflected my story. The interview also went great as Scott had many resources for preparation. Scott was a large part of my MBA journey, and I am very grateful for all of his support throughout the process.

Scott and his team were incredibly helpful throughout every step of my MBA application process. I ended up with 3 acceptances and 2 waitlists (out of 5 applications) and over $300K in scholarship money. This was particularly exciting for me as I had initially set my sights on lower-ranked schools, but decided to apply to primarily “reach” schools after Scott encouraged me to aim higher. I have no doubt that Scott’s assistance was instrumental in achieving this outcome, particularly regarding essay reviews and interview preparation. Applying to MBA programs is a daunting experience, and I chose to work with Scott because I didn’t want to leave any stone unturned and wanted to ensure I put together the best applications I possibly could. I am extremely grateful to Scott and his team and have no regrets after working with them. While his services aren’t cheap, I am positive that the investment paid off multiple times over given the amount of scholarship I received, much of which I attribute directly to the quality of my interviews, essays, and overall story.

Scott is exceptional and I cannot recommend him enough! Scott was very candid to me about which schools I would be competitive at for admissions and scholarship, and did not employ any fear-based strategies or “you need me” speeches like his competitors did. My GRE improved from 315 to 326 within 2.5 months. I ended up getting multiple scholarships to T15, including my top choice. Scott is genuinely available 24/7, and he was very prompt and informative about responding to even my most vague questions. I worked West Coast hours, but he did an excellent job structuring my test prep around my hectic work schedule.

It was a pleasure to work with Scott. He believed in me and pushed me to be my best. I would highly recommend him.

Scott and his team were fantastic partners throughout my MBA application journey. Their support and knowledge were incredibly helpful, as they took the time to truly understand my goals and how to best leverage my strengths. With their guidance, I was able to clarify why I wanted an MBA and how to share my story effectively. The interview preparation was the best coaching I have ever received for an interview – Jacqueline was super direct and pushed me out of my comfort zone in the best way. I only applied to CBS and NYU and received acceptance offers from both, along with very generous scholarship awards. I could not have done this process without Personal MBA Coach and HIGHLY recommend them!

Going through a new process on a huge MBA system like the US one is daunting, especially if you want to make the best out of your time and MBA. From the first contact with both Scott and MJ I felt like I was talking to knowledgeable people, but also willing to guide and teach. My experience was tough but I always felt cheered in and supported. If I would get to do this process again, I would get Personal MBA again, hands down.

Scott and his team are incredibly efficient, organized, and helpful. I received an interview invite for every school I applied too (including 2 M7s) and just got into NYU with significant scholarship. I will be hearing back from the other schools in December 2023. Through this process, Scott was patient and provided me with incredible mentorship advice as I went through this MBA journey. I particularly appreciated the essay advice and interview advice. These components really helped my application stand out. I would highly recommend working with Scott!!!

I was most motivated to seek help from an MBA consultant to ensure I was framing my story in a way that resonated with admissions committees, be honest about blind spots or deficiencies in my application, and keep me on track through a busy work schedule in private equity. MJ delivered on all these fronts! The outcome was a six-figure scholarship to attend Chicago Booth, my first choice.
