Applying to Kellogg without a GMAT or GRE score was honestly stressful. I knew every other part of my MBA application had to work harder, especially the essays and resume.

I worked mainly with Gwen and Shimri, and they pushed me much harder than I expected in the best possible way. We rewrote essays again and again until the story actually felt personal and convincing instead of sounding like standard MBA language. At one point, I remember thinking this is hopeless, and actually thought about stopping the process in the middle, but Shimri calmed me down and said they truly believed in me and in my chances of admission. What helped most was that they never treated the test waiver like a weakness that needed excuses. Instead, they focused on making the rest of my profile stand out in a very confident and natural way. The process went smoothly, the interview prep was spot on, and, in the end, I was admitted to the Kellogg MBA program.

Looking back, I honestly don’t think another company could have helped a candidate like me get admitted to an M7 school without a GMAT or GRE. Kudos to Aringo!
