Prasanth Ramanand Reviews

I knew my experience and background was strong, but with a GMAT below 650 I knew I needed help. So I purchased the GMAT Bundle with hourly help from ARINGO. Working with Prasanth I was able to secure interviews with Tepper and Cornell (just waiting on results now). They work hard to utilize the experience you do have and tailor it to each specific school in mind to help you write killer essays.

Also, Prasanth is very nice and easygoing. I found his turnaround time to be really quick even though I had engaged him during the holidays. He has been a constant support throughout!

Jen and Shmiri really helped me articulate my waitlist plan for Tepper and Cornell as well. They were committed to me getting the admit. I still have my fingers crossed and waiting for the positive decision after all the hardword I have put!

I had dreams of getting into an elite MBA program and making a career pivot into management consulting. I knew I would need help translating my highly technical background and education to adcoms. This is where ARINGO came in. I worked with Prasanth and he was able to help me draw out my professional indirect leadership experiences and extra curriculars. With the help of ARINGO, I got admitted to and Booth and NYU with only 3 years of experience. After all the interview prep I went through with Aringo’s team, I was able have my best interviews when it really mattered! I highly recommend working with the team to tailor your story to fit each program.

Worked with Aringo after a free consultation chat with Shimri Winters their founder. I specifically chose Aringo due to its expertise in helping candidates with low undergrad GPAs get admission to top business schools.

I paid for the 3 school package and they were the most reasonably priced compared to their competitors in the space. They also had a team that was well covered across European and US business schools, whereas most of the admission consultants I spoke to focused heavily on US business schools only. After a strategy meeting and report I was assigned Pratheek Krishna as my consultant and I dont have enough words for how amazing he is. Hes always availble, super patient, and full of awesome ideas , he becomes your friend and career coach rather than a consultatnt during this service. I managed to secure admission into INSEAD with a scholarship, and all the other schools I paid for in thier package, in fact it helped me gain confidence to apply for a 4th business school myself and I also secured an admission myself with a generous scholarship.

It's easy to see the value from the consulting service when I look back at my first attempt at the process when I didn't get any help. When I compare that experience to how much easier it went with Prasanth's guidance, the value in help is obvious.

What's great about his advice is: he knows what the adcoms are looking for, and as importantly, he reads applications to make sure your 'story' is visible.

The drafting process went by much easier with that direction. I could say the same about his help through the interview process, he knew what adcoms wanted and so could make sure my prep was focused and targeted.

If not for Prasanth, I would have spent a lot more time figuring out the foundation for my application. So thanks Prasanth for all the time saved, and good tips! :)

I'm a recent MBA grad, two years ago I used Aringo to help me with essay writing. As an international student, I was looking for support not only in grammar/semantics but also tailoring of content and guidance.

Aringo was a great help! Always replying with in a day (sometimes hours) with candid and reliable feedback. The way the company is established allows one to benefit from one’s direct consultant as well as other consultants that as grads from other top B-schools and can collectively give you a broader and more nuanced perspective. For instance, my consultant was a Columbia grad, he was the lead consultant as I applied to Tuck and Kellogg and occasionally he pointed me to a Kellogg grad for interview practice and final essay review.

I ended my application process with three top 10 offers. I recommended Aringo to a few friends and it was mostly successful for them.

Two extra tips -- 1)it usually pays off to negotiate the initial price 2) be active in selecting the consultant that better fit your needs
