Consultant Bio

I am a former Director of Admissions at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management, where I evaluated and interviewed Full Time MBA applicants globally.

I was the admissions liaison to the Kellogg student affinity networks and oversaw end to end admissions for the MSMS program with Northwestern University. I have led hundreds of domestic and international sessions as brand ambassador for the Kellogg MBA programs. Additionally, I lead MBA recruiting nationally for the largest professional services firm in the world. In this role, I have developed a deep understanding of the post MBA employment market.

I earned my Bachelor degree in Communication from the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, cooking and recreational sports.

Company Information

Personal MBA Coach Logo

Personal MBA Coach was founded in 2008 to offer a boutique and personalized level of application support unavailable at other firms. Our approach is unique and, unlike with many other consultancies, you will not be handed off to a junior consultant who works with a few clients a year and has limited insight into the application process. All Personal MBA Coach clients work directly with our founder, Scott Edinburgh or a former M7 admissions director. This means you work directly with an expert throughout the entire process.

Personal MBA Coach helps clients with all aspects of the MBA application process including early planning, GMAT/GRE/EA tutoring, application strategy, school selection, essay editing, and mock interviews. Our team includes former M7 admissions directors and former M7 admissions interviewers. We work with a select number of applicants each year and place them into the best MBA, EMBA, part-time MBA and other graduate school programs.

Our clients not only get admitted, but many also receive substantial scholarships. Last year our clients received over $6.5M in merit scholarships.

    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.
