A must service!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

I would highly recommend to anyone who just even thinks of an MBA to reach out to Shimri from Aringo and I am sure he'll match you with the right consultant to fulfill your goals (I was fortunate to get Shay).

The standout feature is the unlimited time provided by consultants, granting me the flexibility to experiment with the Resume and essay stories. This extended timeframe allowed room for errors and corrections, ensuring a refined final product. Regular calls with Shay my consultant, and Shimri, chief strategist, enforced consistency in the application process. The meticulously crafted process was a revelation. While gathering content, I delved into my profile, discovering stories that showcased my diverse traits unexpectedly.

The whole team is extremely professional, available at any time, and strives to win!

The entire experience, from crafting essays to interview preparation, was terrific.

Don't even think about it, just send them an email and they will take care of the rest.

Yes, it is possible to do your application on your own and by taking help from friends and family but it will definitely be better if you hire a professional consultant as this is one of the most important investments in your life (both professionally and monetary). Like most, I was also initially hesitant of seeking help from a consultant but I am glad I did 😊.

Having been out of school for so many years, I was a bit rusty with my writing but ARINGO and my consultant Shay Mendelson, an amazing person and super professional MBA consultant, and the rest of the ARINGO team, pushed and I was able to write with their assistance compelling essays for my applications. I highly appreciate the quick turnaround time between all the edits. The team always answered my queries and I always felt content with the response. I wholeheartedly attribute my successful MIT Sloan and Chicago Booth admissions to Shay and the entire Aringo team.

Got into INSEAD with less than 670!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

I first heard about Aringo from a friend who had a low GMAT and used their services and got into INSEAD. I knew I had a good profile, but my lack of knowledge about the MBA admissions process and my low GMAT score drove me to seek for professional assistance. I feel I got it from the best. My dream schools were INSEAD and LBS but I decided to apply to HEC as well. Aringo INGO were amazing from day one. Shimri helped me decide on the strategey and Shay and the rest of the ARINGO team were there for me all along the way. I received 3/3 interviews, and a week ago I got the call from INSEAD. Although I am still waiting for the final decisions from the other two shcools I applied to, I feel it doesn't matter what they say, Aringo did a fantastic job, and I am on the top of the moon and on my way to INSEAD at Fontainebleau!
Thank you Aringo!

My great experience with ARINGO

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

I had the best time working with Shimri and Shay from Aringo MBA consulting. My target schools were that of the UK and Europe. Shimri gave me an honest evaluation in the first call and a holistic idea of my chances. I knew I had a good profile and relatively low GMAT, but still wanted to give it a shot… I was happy to start my journey with them and glad I chose them. Shay- my consultant did an outstanding job of assisting me throughout the process. There were times when I was really confused (applications are really complicated) but Shay kept motivating me. He also helped me articulate my career goals more convincingly. Eventually, the result was in my favor and I am joining the upcoming class of HEC Paris.

Great Service and Adivce

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

I am very glad to work with ARINGO. A big thank you to Jenifer and to Shay for the support and wonderful help along the way.
ARINGO's service was very structured and to the point. They have been very responsive and know exactly what they are doing. Jenifer been always so upbeat; every time we chat, she brightens up my day. My lead consulatnt Shay was very punctual, he leaded the direction of preparing the package and gave super insightful guidelines and feedback.
It was such a great pleasure to work with them. I high recommend to work with ARINGO.

INSEAD and LBS acceptance

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by gmat club tests [?]

Thank you ARINGO, got into two top business schools with your wonderful help.

Specifically, working with Shay was a real pleasure. He constantly provided an enlighting feedback alongside a professional and accurate help with the writing framework and style.

Beyond that, the fact that ARINGO provides a second review (by a different consultant) for the essays drafts is also very efficient and helps to sharpen things to an excellent level.

I'll state the obvious and say that working with an admissions consulting company cannot replace your work on exploring the programs you are interested in, speaking with as many current students and graduates as you can, and thinking about your story and advantages from every angle in order to create a coherent and interesting profile.

To conclude, ARINGO's services are highly recommended.

I certainly believe that hard work and persistence are the most important elements needed to get in those programs. So, do your best and I'm sure that everything will be okay.

Good luck to you all.

Highly professional approach, successfull admit to INSEAD and IMD

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I felt very confident after I've started working with Shay. He has an impressive track record of supporting successfull applications to INSEAD, which was a criteria from my side. I enjoyed his approach towards working on the essays and CV, when he was reverting with comments time after time, unless the posible level of perfection wasn't achieved (wonderful educational experience). He knows exactly what adcom is looking for which helps a lot while setting focus within the entire process. It took several weeks to covert the drafts into final docs and I've stayed within a 10 hour package. Was successfully admitted to INSEAD and IMD (2 out of 2) Thanks a lot!

Thank you team!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I was admitted to the school of my top choice with Aringo team's help. My consultant Shay was instrumental in this process so a huge thanks for his support!
The toughest part of the process was understanding my profile/strengths/weaknesses and building a convincing narrative. As part of the package, I could get as much feedback as I requested for and this was great. The feedback provided was always so insightful - the team will make sure that your story is structured and communicated in the right ways.
Thanks also to Shimri for the interview prep session - the school package at such rate couldn't have been better!
