Frenk Nebiu

Admissions Director

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.

The information provided in this section is solely for verification purposes by Poets&Quants staff. It will not be published, shared, or used in any other way. We may need to contact you via email to confirm details of your review, because only completed reviews will be published.

Please make sure your name is visible on the acceptance letter; you may redact all other personal or financial details. Alternatively, Poets&Quants will accept any of the following documents as proof of acceptance: emails from the school, a class schedule, or a tuition invoice, provided your name is clearly visible.

If you are not leaving a review for a successful application season, that’s OK! We accept positive and negative reviews for: applicants only, rejections, and those who have been wait listed. It is MOST beneficial for your consultant if you are as thorough as possible in your review and with your personal verification details. If we cannot verify you, the review will not be published.

Select "N/A" if you are a career coaching client only.

P&Q Consultant Reviews

  • 100% Worth It! Got Into My Dream Business School
    10 months ago
    Frenk truly helped me shape my story in a way that made sense. Thanks to his guidance, I ultimately had options to choose from—rather than simply hoping to be chosen. I ended up at my dream business school. You don’t always get more than you expect when paying for a service, but this was one of those rare cases—I got far more. Both Frenk and the entire team at Personal MBA Coach, including Scott, genuinely cared about my success and supported me every step of the way. Frenk was fully invested in helping me reach my goals, constantly pushing me to improve and challenging me to build the strongest candidacy possible. His dedication and belief in me made a real difference in my journey.

    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.
