5 stars to Aringo- You guys are the best

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

From my first call with Aringo, I felt I was in the best of hands. Aringo emerged as the composed, rational, patient, knowledgeable, and easy-to-work-with professionals I hoped they would be. Rachel Segal played a crucial role in shaping my work experience, passions, and extracurriculars in a positive light. Rachel provided thorough preparation for interviews, to the extent that I felt overprepared 😊.
Months of collaborative effort resulted in me securing a spot at my dream schools (Kellogg and London Business School). If you're contemplating other options or considering going solo, why take the risk in one of the most crucial decisions of your life? Choose Aringo for a personalized and effective experience!

5 stars to Danielle and Aringo

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

I had the delightful experience of working with Danielle from Aringo, and I am thrilled to say that she helped me secure admissions to both Chicago Booth and Columbia Business School. She was the perfect advisor throughout the application process, offering invaluable insights and guidance that truly made a difference.
Danielle's mastermind approach to my application strategy was incredible, and I appreciate how she took the time to understand my unique strengths and weaknesses to craft a tailored plan that would showcase my potential to the admissions committees. Her attention to detail and commitment to excellence was evident in every aspect of her work, from brainstorming essay topics to polishing my resume.
Overall, I had a great experience with Aringo and would highly recommend Aringo and Danielle to anyone seeking expert guidance on their MBA journey. Thank you, Danielle and Aringo, for your invaluable assistance in helping me achieve my goals!

Fantastic Experience

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

I cannot express enough how grateful I am to ARINGO MBA admissions consulting, particularly my consultant Tal Laks, for their invaluable assistance in securing my admission to UCLA Anderson with a scholarship. Initially sceptical and overwhelmed by the application process, I consider myself incredibly lucky to have found ARINGO.

Tal's guidance and support were beyond exceptional. She skilfully managed the timeline, always keeping my best interests at heart. Tal's expertise in crafting effective essays and providing prompt feedback was instrumental in shaping my application into a compelling narrative.

ARINGO's professionalism and efficiency were truly commendable. They made the entire journey seamless and stress-free. Thanks to ARINGO and Tal Laks, I am now embarking on an exciting chapter at UCLA Anderson with a significant scholarship. I highly recommend ARINGO to anyone pursuing their MBA dream

Aringo: The best decision I made

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

Last year I was here, scouring through endless consultancy reviews and scheduling numerous one-to-one sessions to choose the perfect consultancy to start my MBA admissions journey and Aringo was the best decision I made. I chose Aringo because unlike other consultancies they didn't force their school preference on me but rather pushed me to apply to my dream school even when the chances were slight.

Working with Pratheek was an absolute delight, he made the complete application process breezy and enjoyable. One thing that really impressed me was his candid demeanour, he was frank about my essay drafts and made me re-iterate on them until they were refined enough to showcase my story holistically.
Although my GMAT score wasn't good enough for someone from an over represented pool applying to M7s, he ensured that I never stress over my score but instead focus on the quality of my essays. Working with Pratheek helped me realise how he is well informed not only about the constantly evolving world of business education, but also about the nuances of the technology sector – making him the perfect mentor to help me bring out compelling stories on my background.

Pratheek was invested in my journey both personally and professionally, he would often share anecdotes from his past experiences with other candidates and sometimes stories from his time at INSEAD to keep my motivation levels high through out the process.
My expectations were exceeded at every level (from school research, essay editing, to resume crafting, to strategies) and I can't recommend Pratheek enough.
It was because of the support and guidance from Pratheek and Aringo that I got into 5 of the T15 schools including an M7.

Delightful Service from start to admit!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by membership [?]

Loved the entire journey, was easy to access the consultant as well as Shimri himself. Here are things which they do better than everyone else, since I have worked with 3 more services during my application:

1. The insights from multiple rounds of essay review/enrichment was deep, relevant and different from easily found online information/current students
2. They really helped build my application around my strengths and story - instead of imposing something else
3. Very strong at helping form meaningful connections with folks from the school you might apply to
4. Probably the best profile assessment - which enables accurate representation of chances with top B-schools (and they are amazing at pointing out what you can do/how you can apply to improve your odds). Also very candid about what is un-realistic helping you save time and money
5. Easily accessible, very quick turnaround and VERY professional consultants who are alumni of the best schools and have had experience in adComs of various schools
6. Resume review and interview prep is the best I have experienced among other top Admissions Consulting Services.

Watch a gmatClub vidoe featuring Shimri in it, you'll feel confident about working with Aringo.

Applied to a handful of top MBA programs, attending ESADE from 22'! :)

I strongly recommend Aringo - acceptance to Harvard, Stanford, Booth, and MIT

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

Aringo and Lainie Cogan are real stars who helped me get accepted to 4 M7 schools- Harvard, Stanford, MIT, and secure a whooping 220k scholarship at Booth.


Lainie was incredibly supportive throughout the application process. I had many many rounds of revisions of my documents (resume revision alone had over 15 rounds of edits) but Lainie never showed reluctance. You can tell that she genuinely cares and works as hard as an applicant for making the admission happen. The Aringo process is long and methodological. It started with the strategy team led by Shimri, then Lainie and her magic. Later, each document went for a 2nd and 3rd review with school experts in addition to interview prep sessions with the entire team.



I would definitely recommend Lainie and the Aringo team to anyone who is looking for guidance through the MBA application process.

Multiple M7 schools admits with scholarship- Wow!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I got in touch with ARINGO in 2019, when I was working on my GMAT. Shimri advised me on an action plan and timelines which was super helpful. When eventually I got the desired score, I reached out to them again (obviously) and we had a detailed discussion on my profile and target schools. Shimri connected me with Lainie and shared the application strategy. From brainstorming ideas, editing essays, conducting mock interviews, there is no way I could have made it through this application process without ARINGO’s help. The feedback on essays by Lainie was honest and I could tell that she really wanted me to succeed. There were times when I thought the essays were school-ready but she pushed me to improvise them further. The result- Admits from Chicago, Kellogg, Stern and Yale most with scholarships. Thank you thank you thank you

Amazing results with Aringo help

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I got in touch with Aringo in March, immediately after the GMAT. While I knew the application deadlines are in September, I wanted to make the most of the time. Joy Pincus was assigned to me and she was awesome. She helped me with profile enhancement and networking. She helped me identify the aspects of my profile that made my story compelling. The clarity of thoughts was effectively communicated in my essays. Her guidance helped me prepare to stand out essays that were very much needed for getting a positive result from top-notch schools. Her magic worked indeed. I got multiple interview calls and was eventually admitted from 2. One of the schools gave a generous USD 100,000 fellowship. I owe my success to Aringo.

2 admits from top schools- Thank you Aringo

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

With the help of Aringo I was able to get into Kellogg and NYU Stern.

I started researching for consultants a few months prior to deadlines as I did not want to rush into anything, Aringo was the clear winner. I had a great experience with Joy and she was very helpful with my essays.

I also liked the way the entire Aringo process is streamlined. The consultants are very approachable and are easy to talk to. I know I had a lot to tell about both my military and corporate experience, Joy knows the magic with words and helped me balance the two. She ensured that the final content of the essays are within the scope, word limit, and with all relevant details.
Overall, getting engaged with Aringo was a great decision I made for my MBA applications.

3/3 interviews, 2 admits, both with scholarships Kellogg, here I come

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

My experience with Aringo was beyond amazing.

I first contacted Shimri at an MBA fair during my undergrad, when I told him of my plan to do a top MBA program. He gave me a timeline and told me how to be best prepared and when is a good time to start the process.
When I contacted him again 1.5 years later I knew I had great potential I just wanted to have a professional service that would make sure I didn’t miss anything.
I gained much more than that.
Working with the spectacular Joy Pincus I was able to share my story in a very inspiring way. Joy was attentive, tough when needed, no compromise and led me throughout the entire application. Through the process I learned great writing skills and was given full service whenever I needed, including weekends.
Safe to say the full value for the money spent ( 3 schools packages)
Without the service I’m not sure I would’ve made the cut to Kellogg. Especially not with a scholarship.
