Applying to senior-level programs like the MIT Sloan Fellows MBA presents a unique challenge: condensing decades of leadership, responsibility, and decision-making into a concise and compelling narrative. With extensive professional experience, my biggest challenge was not content, but clarity; understanding which stories truly reflected my leadership and how to present them with focus and intention. Shimri and Mark provided exactly that clarity from the outset.

Together, they acted as true strategic partners, helping me identify the specific experiences and achievements that aligned most effectively with both my long-term aspirations and short-term goals. Their guidance ensured that my story remained authentic, grounded, and sharply tailored to the expectations of elite one-year programs.

Working with Mark, in particular, was transformative. He invested significant time getting to know my professional journey in depth: listening carefully, asking incisive questions, and consistently pushing me to reflect on my experiences through a genuine leadership lens. Mark spent countless hours simulating answers with me, stress-testing every story, and refining each message until it was sharp, authentic, and precisely calibrated. Through continuous conversations, detailed edits, and relentless iteration, he helped me move beyond listing roles and responsibilities to clearly articulate judgment, impact, and leadership growth. His approach was never transactional; it was thoughtful, rigorous, and genuinely invested in getting every detail right.

One of the most demanding aspects of the process was the resume, and this is where Shimri and Mark made a meaningful difference. They guided me patiently through numerous iterations, challenging every line and refining every detail until the result was a sharp, disciplined one-page document that truly reflected my executive presence, scope, and leadership maturity. Their combined precision, judgment, and attention to detail elevated the resume to a level that matched the seniority of the programs I was targeting.

Despite a very demanding professional schedule, the overall process was seamless, structured, and efficient. Aringo’s ability, led by Shimri and Mark together, to elevate my profile and highlight my professional seasoning without exaggeration was a decisive factor in my successful admission to my top-choice program. The interview preparation was another standout element: practical, targeted, and perfectly calibrated for senior-level candidates.

For experienced executives considering elite one-year MBA programs, the Aringo team offers a level of commitment, insight, and partnership that is truly unmatched.

I started my B school Applications in July of 2021. I had just completed my GRE exams and I was late to starting my applications. I quickly realized that to be competitive that I needed a consultant who would hold my hand and help me create stellar essays for the admission committee for the many schools I applied for. I decided to go with Aringo given that they provided the best economical return. I was not disappointed at all! In the short amount of time I had for R1 and R2 deadlines I was able to apply to a total of 5 programs and through each of the essay writings they really helped through each process from essay writing to resume drafting to interview prep. The best part of it all is that compared to other consultants Aringo really is focused on quality essays and making sure you are satisfied at the end of the day They provide unlimited edits and really make sure you are happy with your drafts. In terms of consultants I hands down cant agree more and say Mark Archuleta is the best consultant Aringo has! He has several years of experience helping students get into top business schools like Harvard, Yale ,Haas, Tepper. Ross, etc I really enjoyed the way he was able to take some of the weak parts in my story and make them my strength that led me to get admitted into top business schools. In addition his patience and individual level of hard work for each of his clients is unparalleled. Not once did he ever cancel a Zoom or Google Meets call, he was even available on weekends if need be! You definitely cant go wrong with Mark! Overall I understand many of you may be hesitant with Admission consultants but with the research I did on many of them I really found that at Aringo they really do care about how their clients do and are focused on the quality rather than quantity!

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!

The best part with Aringo starts with your first mail when they take you on board. The first strategy session takes care of you crafting a winning strategy of approaching your entire application. This strategy session is tailored for you and helps to identify the schools in the buckets of reach/ target and safe.
Shimri did a great job of being honest with me and never once he said that your profile is unbelievable and you can get any school you target.
He clearly explained that even my safe schools were competitive and my highest chances were only 30-35% with my safe schools as well. (It is painful to hear but good to set your expectations).
Mark came in with a lot of experience and maturity, his approach of highlighting the right areas of your application are great and the way he is able to help reduce extra 100 words from the essay without losing the essence is appreciable. Also, he always keeps you on your toes and pushes you to chase deadlines with him.
All small elements whether it is quality assessments by 2 different consultants or mock Interview sessions add a lot of value during the entire journey.
Overall a great experience.
