I had an outstanding experience working with Michael. He took the time to truly understand my goals and strengths, and helped me communicate them effectively in my MBA applications. His insights and guidance were invaluable, and I couldn’t have asked for a more supportive and knowledgeable consultant. Highly recommend!

I cannot recommend working with Andrew enough. I required some last minute help to prepare for my Kellogg interview, and Andrew was so quick jump in and provide the most helpful guidance I genuinely believe I have ever received when doing mock interview practice. He was enthusiastic about helping me achieve my goals, very detailed in areas that I could improve, and motivating me when I did things well. He has an impressive amount of knowledge about how MBA interviews work and I owe him huge credit for making me feel as prepared as I did walking into my interview.

A joy to work with Skyler!! Got in to my top choice with his help I had started my application journey completely unsure of where I landed as an MBA candidate. After my first consultation, I started working with Skyler who was the ultimate hype-man! Skyler helped me gain confidence in my application, in the professional experiences I had prior, and in my goals post-MBA. He was an incredibly friendly and positive member of the team - I really felt like he was a fantastic confidant as we worked through the whole process together. Skyler helped me stay on track with the applications and I ultimately landed in my top choice school because of his help! I would definitely recommend anyone to work with Skyler after having such a great experience myself.

Skyler’s Expertise & Positivity Were Game-Changers For Me As someone coming from a non-traditional background, I initially lacked confidence in my ability to craft a compelling story for my school essays. I knew I had a unique journey, but I struggled to articulate it in a way that would stand out. That’s where Skyler came in. From our first interaction, Skyler’s positivity and encouragement were evident. He took the time to understand my background, and instead of focusing on what I perceived as gaps or weaknesses, he helped me see the strengths and unique aspects of my story. His ability to highlight parts of my experience that truly made me stand out was invaluable. Skyler guided me through the process with patience and expertise, helping me to not only tell my story effectively but also to gain confidence in my narrative. Thanks to his support, I was able to submit essays that I felt proud of and that genuinely reflected who I am. I’m incredibly thankful for Skyler’s help and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for guidance in crafting their business school applications. He doesn’t just help you write essays; he helps you discover the story that makes you unique.

Booth 2026 Admit! It was such a pleasure working with Skyler throughout the admissions process. I will be attending Chicago Booth in the fall. Having been the former Director of Admissions at Booth, I could not have asked for a better support system through the process, which included interview prep and a successful scholarship appeal application. Skyler helped me structure my interview responses in a manner that was clear, concise, and specific towards my goals and the school. The difference between my first mock interview with Skyler and my end state was night and day. When I was fortunate enough to be accepted to Booth I received zero merit scholarship, which is the only form of financial aid at Booth. This was critical for my ability to attend. Skyler helped me write a highly compelling scholarship appeal application, which resulted in $40,000 of merit scholarship to the university. I am forever grateful to Skyler and the entire Personal MBA Coach team for their personalized support and kindness throughout this process. Thank you for everything!

Ben is a consummate storyteller with a lot to say regarding essay writing strategy and structure. Beyond that, Ben is a great facilitator and really down to earth. I would definitely work with Ben again!

I chose the comprehensive package with Ben, and he was incredibly helpful throughout the entire application process, especially for Stanford. His deep understanding of the university and its culture played a key role in shaping my application. Ben provided valuable feedback and edits on my essays at every stage. He’s an excellent coach—always supportive, accessible, and easy to work with. I highly recommend him.
