I'm a Columbia MBA here to help you earn a spot at a top MBA program, even -- or especially -- if you come from a regular old background. I started my career in consulting at Accenture in their strategy group. I then joined Nordstrom’s corporate strategy team before heading to Columbia Business School for my MBA. After business school I spent two years Samsung’s Global Strategy Group as an expat based in Seoul, South Korea. I'm now back in the US working at Disney on a strategic planning team supporting their Parks segment. As a coach, I'm particularly keen on helping you with Application Strategy and School Selection. Why? My grandfather went to HBS, my father went to HBS, and me? I ended up at CBS! No, not because I mixed up my acronyms -- but because I chose my MBA program based on culture and fit. To do that, I read every school guide on the internet, visited as many campuses as I could, and spent hours talking to colleagues and coworkers from different programs. Ultimately, I chose Columbia, and it truly was the perfect program for me. If you come from a regular background, have ambitions of attending a top MBA program, and could use help laying out your strategy and choosing which program is best for you, I'm the perfect coach for you. I'll help you choose your school list, craft your story, and nail your application when you apply!

Scott has helped clients get into these schools:

I've helped hundreds of candidates navigate the CBS admissions process. I know exactly what you need to craft a strong profile, develop your story, and write killer essays. If you bring a decent GPA and strong test scores I can help you get to the next step of securing an interview. As an undergrad English major I'm well suited to help you craft strong stories in your essays that will make you standout from the crowd. While a lot of my coaching is for students applying to CBS, I've helped candidates with essays for every top program including: HBS, Stanford, Booth, Wharton, NYU, McCombs, Darden, LBS, and so on. I've worked for & with colleagues that have gone to every top school and have visited most of the campus locations myself during my own application cycle so I know what the different programs are looking for and can help you work that into your story. Please reach out to see how I can help you strengthen your profile and get into your dream program!
