Kellogg’s MBA application is often underestimated, especially by high performers who assume that leadership speaks for itself. But at Kellogg, leadership is about how you show up in teams, how you make others better, and how you align your personal ambition with collective success.
On July 10th at 10:00 AM ET, join Susan Berishaj, Founder of Sia Admissions, for a live strategy session designed to unpack what Kellogg is looking for—and how serious candidates should think about framing their applications.
This session is built for applicants who want to translate their accomplishments into a narrative that reflects not only competence but also character. It’s for those who recognize that Kellogg is building a class—not just admitting individuals—and that their story must demonstrate how they’ll elevate that community.
We’ll cover:
The Kellogg Leadership Model—And What It Actually Looks Like in Practice: Kellogg’s definition of leadership extends beyond traditional frameworks. We’ll examine the types of experiences that resonate most with the admissions committee, the attributes they look for in collaborative environments, and why certain leadership stories fall flat, even when they’re impressive on paper.
How to Signal Emotional Intelligence Without Overexplaining It: Kellogg values EQ, but it’s not something you can name directly; it has to come through the way you reflect, frame, and communicate. We’ll explore how strong candidates demonstrate self-awareness and collaborative instincts while maintaining clarity and credibility.
Elevating Career Goals with Kellogg’s Ecosystem in Mind: We’ll look at how your professional vision must interact with the school’s platform—academically, culturally, and through the lens of leadership development. Strategic clarity here is essential.
Narrative Coherence Across Essays, Resume, and Recommendations: Every component of the Kellogg application speaks to the same core question: who are you, and how do you lead? We’ll discuss the alignment required across the written and interpersonal elements of the application to reflect a clear, integrated picture of candidacy.
This is a session for applicants who want to be intentional about the kind of leader they’re becoming and how that vision fits Kellogg’s community, values, and future.
If you’re targeting Kellogg and want to shape a powerful, high-level application strategy, we invite you to book a consultation. We only work with a select group of applicants each year.
Limited availability. Reserved for applicants exploring coaching support for Kellogg or peer programs like GSB, HBS, Wharton, Booth, or MIT Sloan.
