Considering MBA Admissions Consulting? Start With the Right Conversation.

Your initial consultation may be with Susan or with a senior member of the Sia Admissions team, depending on fit, timing, and availability. If there is mutual alignment, we thoughtfully match clients based on profile complexity, goals, and the consultant best positioned to support the engagement. Every Sia consultant is trained in Susan’s methodology and held to the same high standard of strategic rigor and personalized support.

Our services vary based on the level of support, scope of work, and the type of engagement that makes the most sense for your goals. We offer both comprehensive admissions partnerships and more focused advisory support in select cases. If there appears to be mutual fit, we’ll walk you through the most appropriate options transparently during the consultation.

That’s absolutely okay. A GMAT or GRE score is not required to have an initial consultation. We can still have a meaningful conversation about your background, goals, timeline, and whether this is the right stage to pursue expert support.

Absolutely. Some of our strongest client outcomes have come from reapplicants, career pivoters, and applicants with profiles that may appear less straightforward on paper. Nontraditional backgrounds are not inherently disadvantages, but they often require more thoughtful positioning. The consultation helps determine whether your profile would benefit from that kind of strategic support.

Unlike larger firms built around volume, Sia is intentionally selective. We maintain limited client rosters so the work remains deeply personalized and strategically rigorous. Our role is to help applicants think more clearly about how their candidacy is positioned, where strategic opportunities exist, and how to build an application that reflects genuine depth and coherence.
