As a Canadian, are there any advice on using mba consultants from the US vs a Canadian mba consultant? I feel like there is less experience here for mba schools but also not sure if it’s important to have someone who understands “local” context (like if a school evaluates a Canadian vs a US applicable differently). Thank you!

I just discovered I have vision tracking issues: my eyes don’t converge together in close-up work and they don’t track together. My brain apparently handles this by ignoring the signal from one of my eyes - and alternates throughout the day which eye signal it ignores. The treatment involves vision therapy (eye exercises). Apparently getting this fixed may help with concentration issues since my brain won’t be fighting me sitting still and reading all day. Has anyone done this? Did it help?
