Susan is more than an MBA consultant. She's a coach.
I could not speak more highly of Susan Berishaj and her MBA admission consulting services. Coming from a non-traditional background with a blip in my professional experience, I was worried about the prospects of getting into business school. With Susan's help, I was able to interview with Stanford GSB and was accepted to 6 of my 7 target schools (Wharton, Yale, Kellogg, Booth, Berkeley-Haas, and NYU), with full-ride scholarship from NYU, significant scholarships from Yale, Kellogg, Booth, and Berkeley.

Susan is an exceptional MBA admissions consultant!
I cannot recommend Susan enough as an MBA admissions consultant. With Susan's help, I got in to all five schools that I applied to (Wharton, Booth, Kellogg, Haas, and LBS) with several scholarships including my top choice school. Susan led me through a thorough and structured process from start to finish, including personal story and goal development, school selection, application development, recommender support, interview practice, and even acceptance decisions and early recruitment strategizing.

Extremely personalized experience
I was a re-applicant, applying to the same M7 schools that had rejected me in the previous year. I did manage to get some interviews during my first application cycle but fell short. After the rejections, I wasn't too sure on what I had to do differently the second time around. So, I decided to research for consultants and found Susan from Sia Admissions. With Susan's help, I obtained an acceptance letter to an M7 school. It was a lot of work. We went through roughly 10 drafts before each essay and resume submission, and numerous practice interview sessions. But I am glad I worked with Susan because she possesses all the technical tools of a great admissions consultant, in addition to her strong ability in empathizing with applicants.

I got accepted on my top choice!
I had a great experience working with Susan. Not only was I accepted in my first choice, but I enjoyed the entire application process. In February 2020, I decided to apply to 3 of the top MPP programs (Oxford, LSE and Cambridge). I was overwhelmed by the number of requirements for each school and confused about the entire process, so I started looking for help. I interviewed over 10 consultants and when I spoke with Susan, I knew I wanted to work with her. She is passionate about helping people achieve their goals, listens to them and understands them. This was very important as she was able to help me reflect my goals throughout my application. Even though I knew what I wanted, I didn't know how to put that on paper, and she helped me to do it. She has a methodology in which I learned what the universities were looking for and how would that fit my purpose, increasing the chances of acceptance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about working with Sia Admissions
Sia Admissions takes a personalized, story-driven approach. The
process is fully one-on-one with Susan and her team, covering
discovery (understanding your story), a custom game plan with
internal and external deadlines, and iterative crafting of every
component of your application. Contact happens virtually, via
email, and over the phone throughout the entire engagement.
The Associate package is focused on custom SOPs
for multiple schools, with resume, LOR, and interview prep
available à la carte. The Partner package is
the full-service option, covering SOPs, resume, LOR, and
interview prep with personal contact throughout the entire
application process. Most applicants seeking comprehensive
guidance choose Partner.
The service level Sia Admissions delivers requires deep,
sustained engagement with each applicant. By capping client
volume each year, Susan and her team can give every applicant
the attention required to refine essays through multiple drafts,
run thorough interview prep, and stay closely involved across
every school on your list. Spots fill early in the cycle, so
reaching out sooner rather than later is recommended.
Sia Admissions clients have been accepted to the full M7
(Wharton, Booth, Kellogg, Berkeley-Haas, Yale, NYU, and beyond)
as well as top international programs including LBS, INSEAD,
Oxford, LSE, and Cambridge. The team works with both U.S. and
international applicants targeting top U.S. universities.
Yes. Re-applicants are a meaningful share of past clients —
including applicants who were previously rejected by M7 schools
and successfully re-applied with Sia's guidance. The process
typically involves diagnosing what fell short the first time and
reshaping the narrative, school list, and supporting materials
accordingly.
Sia Admissions does not offer a traditional sia admissions discount code or public coupon that can be entered at checkout.
Start by submitting an inquiry through the Sia Admissions intake
form or contact page. You'll be invited to a brainstorming
consultation to discuss your background, target schools, and
goals, after which Susan will recommend the package that best
fits your situation. Because client capacity is limited,
reaching out early in the cycle is recommended.
