The team truly cares about their clients. They just don’t blindly follow the application checklist but rather take time to know you better. I really liked the way they are transparent with everything. The feedback on drafts was always direct and supportive with ideas on how to strengthen the theme. The focus was more on honest opinion rather than sugar-coating words. That is what you need from your consultant- to be a critique, to make you realize your true potential, and of course, should be an expert in the field. I know the transition from being super anxious at the time of the start of the application process to be calm knowing that an experienced professional is guiding me. Big thanks to them.

Fantastic Experience

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Overall a fantastic experience during an exceptionally difficult application season. Thankful and lucky I will be off for my MBA at a top program, largely due to ARINGO. I applied to 4 schools in total all above what would normally consider me due to me GMAT/GRE score. Nonetheless, we crafted a compelling story and I am off to a top 5 MBA program.

David and Shimri are extremely responsive and focus on the needs of the applicant and their goals. I would suggest the school package as ARINGO's is reasonably priced compared to others and you get the full suite of services focused on each essay and application.

Would highly recommend and currently referring ARINGO to my other friends applying

Best in the industry

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I am thrilled that I chose aringo among all the admission consultants out there. Their experience is visible in their approach to the process.



The work started with some brainstorming sessions regarding my why mba and career goals. I spoke to Shimri several times and he gave me the comfort that I have the potential to get into good schools and with a scholarship, which was vital for me, as I will be moving with a family. Joy is a real professional (she has been doing this for 15+ years) and very patient and understands the anxiety of the candidate. I still remember my CV alone had 15+ revisions. Joy helped me steer through the applications with comfort and ease. And in the end, the promise was kept. I got into 3 top schools with $200,000 in total scholarships – which made my decision very tough. They do not oversell. I highly recommend aringo for their professionalism.

Amazing support throughout the process!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

I was recommended by a friend to work with Aringo and am fully satisfied with the experience. I worked with Shimri on my application strategy and his inputs were invaluable. He was very supportive and helped me refine my thoughts and structure the application essays well. He also kept checking on me throughout the process and was always available to discuss any changes, even if they were on the very last day before the application deadline. I really admire his candid feedback and no BS approach while discussing the strategy and enjoyed working with him.

I have joined Columbia Business School this year and would recommend Aringo to all the prospective students for application strategy and essays.

Thank you Aringo

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I got selected for the London Business School. I got to know about Aringo through one of the webinars on GMATClub. After some research, I chose Aringo. I received help from a team of amazing consultants to prepare a winning application. Shimri helped me on application strategy and overall application, whereas Danille and Gwen reviewed and provided feedback on my essay and resume respectively. Also, Uri and Shimri provided great feedbacks on my mock interview. The greatest strength of Agringo team - they did a detailed review of my application and provided very helpful inputs (especially on essays) that helped me improve my application. I really appreciate the help received from the entire Aringo team.

Best MBA consultant team

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I have just got addmitted to the MBA program and it would not have happened without ARINGO's help and guidance.
Objective and honest consultants that despite my lower Gmat score (640) helped me to highlight the "peson behind the number" and my qualities in order to become a llegitimate candidate.
We managed to organize all the required materials from CV to application essays and ideas within a month and it was a real satisfying and enjoyable experience.
The team made this stressfull situation very relaxed and i am really greatfull for that.
Thank you ARINGO team, will definitely be recommending you guys!

Top MBA Consulting

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Worked with Aringo on my application to three top business schools.

Kfir and Shimri were extremely helpful and I cannot thank them enough. On a very short notice, they managed to very quickly and efficiently managed to for a strategy for me and review my applications. The comments were very relevant and my application got significantly improved ! (They helped me to emphasis my strengths.)

I was also teamed up with a few other consultants for my interview prep, which was really helpful. As a result, I got into the business program that I wanted.

I could not recommend more, really! Awesome service!

Great Service!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

I hired the Aringo Unlimited package for two schools, IESE and LBS. I didn’t know anyone that actually had hired them within the people I knew so I made the decision based on the comments I had read online, which were pretty good. This said, the experience was much better than I expected. Kfir Catalan was my lead consultant, supported by Shimri Winters. Both of them had amazing insights during the whole process, and demonstrated deep knowledge on both universities.
In particular, its relevant to mention Kfir’s amazing commitment with my application during very tight deadlines. I had a mediocre GMAT score (650), however with Aringo’s help I got accepted into both of the universities I applied to.
Finally its relevant to mention their interview preparation software is amazing, and Aringo’s professionals really know how to structure interviews questions in order to become as effective as anyone could be.

London Business School Scholarship

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

To me, a child dream come true. I looked at reviews and selected Aringo for their expertise in London Business School. Shimri Waters is an LBS almunus and former interviewer. That really makes the difference because he knows the school inside out and the requirements to be admitted. Shimri was extremelly friendly, helpful and proactive in improving my application and giving me hints on essay wrtting, cv tailoring, video presentations, and interview performance. I also had a mock interview that was very helpful. In the end, I attained a £20,000 scholarship from London Business School and I could not have got it without Aringo.
