About Aringo: ARINGO's roots were planted when the founder, Gil Levi, was accepted at Harvard, Wharton and INSEAD with a GMAT score of 650. Gil received a full, merit-based scholarship at Wharton upon admission and later became a member of the Wharton Admission Committee. He formed ARINGO's methodology on the basis of the essay-writing tools that he originally developed as an applicant. The results followed: ARINGO’s clients were accepted at Harvard (MBA) with GMAT scores of 580, 660 and 670; at Wharton with GMAT scores of 640, 660 and 670; at Duke with GMAT scores of 600 and 640; at INSEAD with GMAT scores of 630, 640 and 650; at MIT with GMAT scores of 660 and 680; at LBS with GMAT scores of 630, 650 and 660; at Kellogg with GMAT scores of 640 and 680, and many more… Since its inception, ARINGO has invested heavily in research (over 3,000 man hours and counting…). Following this heavy investment in research, ARINGO clients have access to ARINGO’s Admission Driver System for application content planning, its Tracker System for tracking document versions, and the Planner System for task scheduling. ARINGO employs a round table strategy, with each consultant collecting expert opinions at the critical decision points throughout the application process. We also conduct internal reviews of candidates' materials by additional consultants (and at no additional cost) in order to provide a fresh perspective and make sure each of our client's materials are at their best. The collaboration within ARINGO's team, which includes former admission committee members as well as experienced consultants with marketing writing skills, contributes to the success of our clients' applications. Please join us in welcoming Gil Levi , founder of ARINGO, and wish him Good Luck! Dear all, I was accepted at Harvard, Wharton and INSEAD with a GMAT score of 650. I received a full, merit-based scholarship at Wharton upon admission and later became a member of the Wharton Admission Committee. Following these experiences I founded ARINGO, an admission consulting firm with particular specialty in countering low GMAT scores. ARINGO employs the series of essay tools I originally developed as an applicant. The results followed: our clients were accepted to Harvard (MBA) with GMAT’s of 580, 660 and 670; to Wharton with GMAT’s of 640, 660 and 670; to Duke with GMAT’s of 600 and 640; to INSEAD with GMAT’s of 630, 640 and 650; to MIT with GMAT’s of 660 and 680; to LBS with GMAT’s of 630, 650 and 660; to Kellogg with GMAT’s of 640 and 680, and many more… Any questions out there about the admission process? Regards, Gil Levi ARINGO.com

Impressive background ankushsambare with a range of experience. Academics are a bit on the lower side, but the depth and breadth of your experience can make up for this. The average GMAT for these MEM’s is closer to 645 - so you’ll need to find ways to reinforce your quant readiness for the program. If you are applying for the Fall 2027 start, i would recommend retaking the GMAT. Or you can consider ESMT Berlin, IE, Imperial, EDHEC, or HULT.

You have a great profile from a less-represented country in the MBA pool! You have STEM background with leadership and entreprenuership - lean into this in your essays. HBS is moonshot for all... but apply. Sloan Duke, INSEAD and UNC are great for innovation and healthcare... also consider Wharton HCM program!

Congrats on your admit and interview. MBA programs love Drs! Your Med School can help fill in where your GMAT may lack a little compared to other Indians. Rejections could be because of career goal fit - they feel less equipped to help with the transition.
For potential interviews, make sure to highlight the connections that will help you with the transition to consulting full-time and in that country - specific classes, pathways, clubs. If you know current student or recent alum, you can reference their success and advice they have shared.
