Very Satisfied

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Jen and the team were very helpful throughout the entirety of this admissions cycle. She weighed in on practically all aspects of the application process, including evaluation of my candidacy and school selection, resume and essay editing, interview prep, and advice on managing waitlists and negotiating scholarships. After working with her, I felt confident that my applications were as strong as possible and that I was well prepared for each of my admissions interviews. During the nine (!!!) months I worked with her, I found Jen to always be responsive and helpful with whatever I threw at her. I would give her a full-throated endorsement for anyone looking for help with MBA applications.

Aringo was the best investment - Stanford here I come!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I am a Master’s applicant and was not sure if investing in an admission consultant. But once I saw that admission offer from the prestigious Stanford University- I knew I did the right thing. Aringo really puts additional effort into the applicant’s story. The professionalism from the first strategy meeting to the final output helped my application shine. My consultant, Danielle, made sure to listen to my unique experiences and strengths and helped me articulate my goals. I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to work with the entire Aringo team and cannot recommend it enough. Needless to say, I made it into the school of my choice.

Aringo has been super helpful

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by post count [?]

I knew my experience and background was strong, but with a GMAT below 650 I knew I needed help. So I purchased the GMAT Bundle with hourly help from ARINGO. Working with Prasanth I was able to secure interviews with Tepper and Cornell (just waiting on results now). They work hard to utilize the experience you do have and tailor it to each specific school in mind to help you write killer essays.

Also, Prasanth is very nice and easygoing. I found his turnaround time to be really quick even though I had engaged him during the holidays. He has been a constant support throughout!

Jen and Shmiri really helped me articulate my waitlist plan for Tepper and Cornell as well. They were committed to me getting the admit. I still have my fingers crossed and waiting for the positive decision after all the hardword I have put!

Highly recommended, truly professionals

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by gmat club tests [?]

From my first conversation with Aringo (Shimri) to the one-on-one attention I received from my fantastic consultant (Ori Elkin) and the rest of the Aringo team, my experience was excellent. Coming from a technical background, they helped me understand what MBA programs would be suitable for me. Ori shared with me his impressive experience and offered me constructive feedback to help me shape a compelling story for my essays. With two scholarship offers, I chose Kellogg, for its strong brand and the great sense of community. I am very eager to join this incoming class of 2021 and embark on this new journey.

100% application success rate with Aringo's guidance!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

After the GMAT I was completely overwhelmed by the amount of requirements I’d have to complete. I recognized that I needed extra guidance to help answer the tough questions and to better position myself in such a competitive pool.

I was so lucky to have found Aringo by chance. From the get go, both Shimri and Mark were so accommodating of my questions and refreshingly honest with feedback. They helped craft my narrative without removing my personal touch. From the strategy session, in which they sifted from my stories for the best of the best, to the essays to the interview process to the results — Aringo was there throughout the entire process.

In the end, I was admitted to three of the three top business schools I applied to with a partial scholarship from one. It’s more than a nervous applicant like me could’ve expected and asked for and I owe much of the results to my time with Aringo!

Thank you Aringo

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I got selected for the London Business School. I got to know about Aringo through one of the webinars on GMATClub. After some research, I chose Aringo. I received help from a team of amazing consultants to prepare a winning application. Shimri helped me on application strategy and overall application, whereas Danille and Gwen reviewed and provided feedback on my essay and resume respectively. Also, Uri and Shimri provided great feedbacks on my mock interview. The greatest strength of Agringo team - they did a detailed review of my application and provided very helpful inputs (especially on essays) that helped me improve my application. I really appreciate the help received from the entire Aringo team.

Amazing- blew my mind!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

You won’t regret choosing Sriram’s services. Honestly, he has been more helpful than any friend, teacher, peer, confidant I have met and asked for help. Prior to applying, I had gone to several people for help, but it was only after going to Sriram when I was able to actually improve my application. It was the best decision I made. As a result, I was able to get into my top choice MIT Sloan in Round 3.

Right from the start, Sriram was patient and very sharp to understand my industry and experiences. He was able to ask questions that helped me formulate my thoughts and think deeper about my application. As a result, I was able to carefully handle my weaknesses, bolster my strengths, and convey my ideas in my essays and videos in a very eloquent manner. Even more so, I was able to improve my writing quality by thinking about the why, the important details, structure, style, etc, which are all skills that are necessary in any kind of writing. Moreover, Sriram was also able to help me tailor my responses to the particular school I was applying for.

For interviews, Sriram was extremely patient. I really struggled getting back into interview mode after job interviews, but Sriram patiently highlighted the specific aspects of my responses that needed work, which left me with actionable items to work on. This is a gamechanger because most people give generic feedback or leave me feeling like I know what the problem is, but not how to solve it. Sriram’s biggest strength is getting you think about things in a different light.

Sriram is very friendly and amicable. His responses were so quick- most of the time < 24 hours. He has very high standards and pushes you to reach your maximum potential. He has plenty of resources and is an amazing person in general to get to know. I was just inspired just by his work ethic!

London Business School Scholarship

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

To me, a child dream come true. I looked at reviews and selected Aringo for their expertise in London Business School. Shimri Waters is an LBS almunus and former interviewer. That really makes the difference because he knows the school inside out and the requirements to be admitted. Shimri was extremelly friendly, helpful and proactive in improving my application and giving me hints on essay wrtting, cv tailoring, video presentations, and interview performance. I also had a mock interview that was very helpful. In the end, I attained a £20,000 scholarship from London Business School and I could not have got it without Aringo.

Great service & support

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

I got accepted to the Cornell Tech MBA with the very helpful and supportive experts at ARINGO.
Communication with them was always very easy and prompt, and the advice they provided me with helped me organize everything that I needed for the application process.
Their support continued throughout the interview process, as well as preparations for back-up schools.
Along with CV and recommendation support, the background and knowledge that ARINGO has regarding most of the top business programs provides a lot of important insight into the application process.
I strongly endorse this consulting company and believe that they are well worth the investment!
