From the moment I first spoke to Derin I was immediately impressed with her dedication to my application. I was unsure exactly which programs to apply for when I first started working with Derin. She took the time asking me what my goals were, my strengths/weaknesses and what I was looking for in a program. We then narrowed it down to 3 schools, Kellogg, Stanford and Berkeley. To say that Derin was there for me every step of the way would be an understatement. Any question I had she answered as quickly and thoroughly as possible. She helped me create my applications in a way that still felt like "me". (Which was something that I was initially worried about.) I decided on attending Kellogg, to which I received a fantastic scholarship. I could not recommend Derin enough!

When I was initially debating whether to even choose a consultant in this process, I vetted a number of options - ARINGO, MBAmission, MENLO coaching, Accepted, Art of Applying, etc etc. Applying with a lower GMAT score was a huge concern for me (taking it again wasn't an option) and while the other companies (both listed and not listed) made my low score the focus, Sriram at ARINGO saw my story for what it was, and believed in me from the beginning.

His belief, and his ability to see the candidate behind the numbers is uncanny. He knows how to get the right stories out of each person, and was able to help me really craft my personal brand + tailor it to each school I worked with him on.

Of all the schools I applied to - I was waitlisted at 1, and got accepted to 4, ultimately now matriculating at Wharton.

10000% could not have done this without Sriram's help - he helped me not only improve my storytelling, but also hone in on why I really wanted business school to begin with (since that often becomes unclear in the depths of the application process) and reminded me that my story meant more than the scores/numbers I was so worried about.

Could not recommend Sriram and ARINGO more - truly, they understand that we are all unique people at the end of the day, and all have value to add in the MBA classroom.

Not only did I get into the MBA school of my dreams (IESE Business School in Barcelona - DO NOT MISS OUT ON THIS!), but Aringo also got me a scholarship, which covered the cost of their consulting service.
They worked with me from step 1, and were kind and responsive throughout the process, that included 1-on-1 meetings, phone calls, emails and extra time (free of charge). I am confident their service assisted me greatly.

Shimri, Lainie and the team was amazing and simply got the job done!
Thanks Aringo for being there for me and helping me achieve my MBA goals. Thank you

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!

Shimri and the team at ARINGO are incredible and I cannot speak highly enough of them. If you are stressed out about the application process or unsure of how exactly to spin your story they will be of enormous assistance.

I spoke to 4 other consultants before reaching out to ARINGO at the recommendation of a friend at HBS. The consultants at ARINGO were super responsive, not pushy at all and extremely knowledgeable. I started working with them on an hourly basis and I wish I had bought a package in hindsight because they blew me away. Their insights turned my application around 180 degrees and addressed the tiny details that make all of the difference. They took a stressful process and made it a constructive and reflective journey from drafting the essays and CV all the way through the interviews.

Bottom line is that I got into all the schools they helped me with and a year into my MBA I can say it was worth every penny!!

I wanted to commend Sriram on all of his hard work and effort, my application is likely a 500% improvement over what I would have submitted without his help. He was extremely personable and did an excellent job communicating my weak points, for instance in one of my essays I included several industry-specific technical terms and he referred me to a documentary where Henry Kissinger couldn’t figure out how to use the speaker on his phone, and stated that I should pretend that I am writing for him. Even the executives in my company are relatively technical, so I was in the habit of phrasing on those terms and forgot that not everyone would understand these. This was memorable for me and I will remember this in my career going forward.

High level of professionals who know how to tell your story in a very appealing way. Very honest about your strengths and weaknesses and using 100% of your potential. Aringo will be by your side for the whole process.

I really enjoyed the personal treatment I got at ARINGO, right from the first contact you make they give you professional advice about how to proceed at every stage. After the initial orientation you get assigned to a specific counselor and begin the process of writing your application. My counselor was excellent and gave me very valuable advice and answers along the way.

I decided to take the hourly services with Aringo. I was put in contact with one of their consultant, which was very helpful and responsive. I got help with my resume (content and writing style) and motivation letters (again, contente and writing style), and got in one of the top business schools.

With mediocre GMAT score and a lot of doubts, I used ARINGO's hourly services to apply to two Tech MBA program - NYU Andre Koo Tech MBA and Cornell Tech.

Throughout the entire process, Shimri and Lainie both were super nice and helpful. They were always available, clear and attentive. Also, they provided moral support when needed – a major part of the process.

The outcomes of my application speak for themselves - 2/2. I got into both into NYU Andre Koo Tech MBA and into Cornell Tech MBA with a scholarship.

All in all, I’m happy that I worked with ARINGO. Thank you!

I worked with ARINGO on several schools and got into 4: Duke, Tuck, Yale, and Cornell, 3 of them with a scholarship. I was very satisfied with their guidance, their responsiveness and professionalism. While some would think that the process should be stressful, I found it rather enjoyable, especially with the help of my consultant who made sure to provide viable and positive feedback with a lot of sense of humor and respect. Another thing I liked about ARINGO is their robust and proven processes and platforms, which facilitate communication and way of work to ensure professional and productive work throughout the process. I would definitely recommend ARINGO to any friend of mine who would be interested in applying for an elite MBA program.
