I am a young candidate. With lower than average professional experience. Hence I decided to apply to many schools and hope for the best. Oded Ben David and the entire Aringo admission consultants provided me with the guidance and support I needed to build the best possible application. The team was with me at every step on how to build a compelling story and highlight my most authentic self. I applied to multiple schools and the feedback on my essays was tailored per the school. The interview preparation was also so helpful that the actual interviews looked like a cakewalk. I am thrilled to say that with great success I got into many schools with hefty scholarships. I truly can’t thank them enough for their hard work and mentorship. Result: Ross, Stern, Tuck, Yale, Darden, Johnson, and Tepper all with scholarships

Little did I know that when I thought that MBA will be the next right step for my career, there was so much to do. When I was done with my GMAT, I assumed I have aced the most difficult task – I was so wrong. The MBA application process is like a mammoth in itself. Initially, I tried doing things on my own, but later realized I need guidance. That’s when ARINGO came into the picture. Jen (you will love her) is like a genie! She knows what you want and has answers to all your queries. Based on my profile and background, Jason Bond was allotted to me as my primary consultant. He did wonders to my immature essay drafts and helped me to structure my essays with a logical flow. My resume (which I thought was good to go) was revamped and I could clearly see the value being added. ARINGO just doesn’t give feedback, they share the rationale and are open to hearing your thoughts. It’s teamwork and effort. I made it to Richard Ivey and I highly recommend going for ARINGO if you are planning to apply to competitive B schools.
ARINGO- Best Coach! Best Results!

I did some research on many admissions consulting firms and decided to go with Aringo due to a recommendation I got from a close friend who got into MIT the previous year with their assistance. When I made my decisions, little did I know that this will be one of the best decisions I ever made! The one thing that I loved about Gwen and every single one of the ARINGO reviewers is that they don’t sugar coat. They are brutally honest with the feedback at every stage from strategy, school selection, resume, essay to interview. I could always count on the team with their critical feedback. My story for each essay was finalized and they helped me to put across the unique aspects of my profile with customizations to each school. With the guidance of Gwen and Shimri I was accepted to 2 top B-school and had the chance to pick the one that is best fit for me. Huge thanks ARINGO!
A Big thanks to Mark and ARINGO

From my initial free consultation to submitting stellar applications, the experience with the ARINGO team was fantastic throughout. Based on my profile, I was assigned Mark Archuleta as my consultant. Once I spoke with him, I could easily tell that he is incredibly experienced. To be honest, I had infinite ideas about my essays that could easily overcomplicate my case; but Mark always shared the rationale before accepting and rejecting my thoughts. This made it very easy for me to work with him. I initially started with 1 school but later on added 2 more schools based upon my experience. Mark’s knowledge about what the school is expecting out of the essays, his eye for detail for my resume, and his support to bring out the best in every element of my application made the difference. I received the interview calls for all the 3 schools I applied to. I also got a lot of school-specific resources from the team on interview prep material which made the preparation quite easy. After 2 mock sessions, when I faced the interview, I knew I was making a good impression. ???? Eventually, I got into 2 schools Kellogg and Haas (both with partial scholarships), and got waitlisted in the 3rd one. Mark and the ARINGO team really go out of the way to help you and come up with the best possible applications!!!
Awesome Experience! got an admit in MIT

I was just a few weeks away from the deadline and was worried. I reached to ARINGO and they were really helpful. Jenifer did the initial discussion and I was quite happy on the insights that she had on my profile. My consultant Daniel worked closely with me and helped me with all the application related components. The team is very approachable and I was able to submit my application smoothly within the timeline. The interview help was on the spot! I highly recommend ARINGO. Thank you. :)

Without Sriram and Aringo's help I would never have gotten into the schools that I did. I got into 3 out of the 4 schools that I applied to and ended up going to USC. Sriram worked so hard to help me with my application and was there for me around the clock, whenever I needed help.

I've worked with Aringo from the very first start. I did my research before, but came to the conclusion that Aringo is the best admissions consulting company out there. I purchased full school packages, and it was definitely worth it! I got in to my top choice school and to another school, both with scholarships! I had the privilege to work with Gwen as my consultant. She was amazing! She responded super fast, was very thorough and organised, and was available to me whenever I needed her. For each school I was given all the information I needed to get going with the essays, and her insights were extremely helpful and important. In addition, Shimri was always there to help and give a second opinion when I needed it (and I nagged him all the time!) I am SO HAPPY with this decision, and I really couldn't have done it without Aringo!

I just heard back from MIT! Dawna S Levenson rang me to tell me I was accepted for next year's MBA. WOW!!!
When I spoke to you the first time, I was so annoyed. I knew I had a good profile, but my 690 made me feel I would not get into top schools. Chaya guided me from day one, explaining that that GMAT is just one factor and that Aringo really has had successes with these kinds of scores.
I applied to 6 schools. Booth dinged me, but I got 5!!! interviews (Tuck, Yale, MIT, Cornell, Kellogg)
and 4 offers (I knew I had a bad interview with Tuck), and 2 scholarships. as MIT has always been my dream, no brainer!
how did you guys do it??
Sriram, I owe it all to you! dedication, professionalism and personality made it all a joy to work with you
Chaya, Priothvi, Prasanth, Jamal, Derin, Ross, Shimri and the rest of the team
huge thanks to you all and please come to visit me in Cambridge next year :)
Thank you ARINGO!!!!

I am a white male that works in finance. with a 710 GMAT.
When I spoke to MBA consulting firms, they all seemed very eager to sell me the fact they can get me into a top school. when I mentioned the fact I have a regular career to date, they tried to be realistic with me and emphasized the fact they are many candidates like me, that I have nothing special in my profile and suggested I apply to schools ranked 10-20.
ARINGO was different. they really wanted to know me before giving me a chances estimation. when working on my application they had many amazing suggestions (for example: a lot of my essays speak about my hobbies and my leadership experiences from high school).
I just got an acceptance call from Columbia / I could not be happier.
big thanks Prithvi, your dedication and experience made all the difference. Chaya, Shimri, Derin, Sriram and the rest of the tea, awesome job
thanks Derin and aringo! Harvard here I come

I knew I had a solid story, but Aringo helped me to shape it and tell it in the best possible way.
Shimri and his strategy team advice were priceless. Derin helped me from day one, till the end throughout the process with my cv, essays and even interview prep.
As I did the aringo full school I also got plenty of second and third reviews from school experts
so, to sum things up...
big thank you aringo. very professional with top results!

I am not sure how authentic all the reviews are on this site, but all I can say, my one is :)
I spoke to 4-5 firms before choosing aringo. the reason I chose them was a. Chaya, the CEO, really understood my story, and it didn't feel like she was selling me anything. I initially spoke to her in February and was debating between round 3 or delaying my plans by a year. all the other firms pushed me to apply early, where Chaya suggested I wait, gain another months of experience and only then apply.
the second reason I chose aringo is they do more. they have a strategy stage with a number of ex ad-coms, they have several rounds of 2nd review and 3rd review. I also did at least 6 interview prep sessions with 6 different! consultants...
so, to cut a long story short. I worked with Sriram. who is amazing. he guided me throughout the process. I applied to MIT, Chicago, Kellogg and Ross. I got a 3 interviews, a full scholarship at Ross, 100K scholarship at Kellogg and acceptance to MIT (no scholarship). I am Indian, 730 in the GMAT
Thank you Sriram. thanks you Derin, Shimri, Chaya, Femie, Prtihvi, Daniel and Lainie for the interview prep sessions, thank you aringo
Admitted to 3 top schools!

Prithvi and I used to conduct a lot of ? as he often referred to them ? ?strategy sessions,? that I thought were detrimental to the process. Throughout these calls we would exchange ideas and try to come up with the best stories that would qualify with the admissions teams. Prithvi knew very quickly what stories would qualify and what would not. From then on, I would work on a list of expanded bullet points that he would then go on to critique. What I found really helpful with Prithvi is that his comments were very detailed yet the turnaround time for the marked up versions of the drafts was very quick; something that is uncommon with many mba admissions consultants who take on too many clients at once. Aringo does a very good job of making sure that this is not the case when recommending a consultant.
Before working with Prithvi, I worked with a couple of other consultants and I think what really differentiates him is that he always focuses on the ?big picture?. He does a very good job of learning everything about your background so as to extract the best stories that will likely form the foundation of the essays. Other consultants often tend to dwell on the language and grammar in the essays which I came to believe are not as important as the life experiences themselves that are being told. Knowing off the bat what stories make the cut is the single biggest asset any consultant can possess.
I applied to Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, MIT, and LBS, and got accepted into each of Wharton, MIT, and LBS. I have enrolled into Wharton.
Amazing consultant! Thank you!!

Lauren, I feel like I lucked out in choosing you as my application consultant. You have been extremely helpful with all of your essay edits, revisions and suggestions- you are clearly very skilled and good at what you do. More importantly, your personality has been very helpful in allowing me to open up and share a lot of details about my life for my essays, it made a huge difference that from day 1 you made an effort to get to know me on a casual and non-formal basis, that really helped set forth a strong foundation of comfort working with you. I have felt as though you truly understand what an admission officer looks for in an application. I have noticed a huge difference in the type of commentary and feedback I gain from you in comparison to ?edits or suggestions? a friend or family member would give on my essays. Being able to make my essays hard hitting and concise without any ?filler? words is the main issue I struggle with in my writing, you have been able to fix that problem for me over and over again. Lastly, your turnaround time for all emails, revisions, etc and the fact that you are available to be reached through text message and phone calls at almost all hours of the day has been above and beyond my expectations. The knowledge of each school?s culture has been fantastic, and moreover you have a great understanding of all the industries and job prospects for each school. Up until this point in the process I give you a 10/10. I suppose the next step that remains to be seen is the interview prep if I am able to obtain some interview invites from the schools in question! Thanks for checking in with me. I have also truly enjoyed the experience up till now!
Expert guidance without which I wouldn't have gotten into one of the top MBA Schools in the World

I worked with Sriram on five schools and in spite of having low GMAT scores, I still managed to get into three of them, even receiving scholarships from two!
Sriram's commitment and dedication to ensuring that my applications were tip-top are the sole reasons for my success.
His extraordinary eye for detail helped me spruce up my application and preparation beyond what I thought was possible and necessary. I must also add that my applications wouldn't have been even half as good without his expert advice.
My advice to MBA aspirants would be to not completely rely on your own instincts. Expert advice from people like Sriram makes a world of difference between preparing a winning application and a mediocre one!

I just got off the phone from my dream school.
They have offered me $40 scholarship. WOW!!!
I worked with aringo and Sriram on 4 schools. 2 M7 schools and 2 backup schools. My results so far: 4/4 interviews. 3 offers, 2 scholarship and one happy client
Sriram you are awesome!
Chaya, you are amazing
Lainie, Ori, Gwen, Joy, Shimri, and the rest of the 2nd 3rd and 4th lines that assisted me throughout the process you rock!
I really had my doubts regarding the value I will receive. but, no more doubts, you are amazing!!!

She explained that I need to wait one extra year to strengthen my work experience which would also help me getting admitted and also I will enjoy and benefit from my MBA more
. this impressed me, as most service providers like to sell their products... When I insisted on applying, Chaya actually said that aringo will not work with me that year, and they do not work with candidates unless they think I have a good chance of succeeding. she also referred me to their statistics page, which is verified by a big 4 accounting firm.
Like I said, this all impressed me, and indeed I waited a year.
I spoke again to many consultants, who advised I apply to 6-8 schools. Chaya suggested 3-4 as she was confident my now, stronger profile would do the trick
I applied to Wharton, Kellogg, Duke and UCLA.
Got into 3, and chose Kellogg.
I was also offered a partial scholarship
Derin is an amazing consultant. she gave me feedback, helped me develop ideas from scratch, was honest and harsh where needed. I also loved the fact that I did 6!!!! interview prep sessions with 6 different aringo consultant... all boosting my confidence
thanks aringo. love your service, love the result

I was in your position a few months ago and so I can totally relate to trying to understand whether admission consultants are worth it. I can tell you this: every dollar spent on Aringo was really worth it! In fact, in my opinion, Aringo offers a high value/money proposition as well.
All in all, I highly recommend Aringo and Joy Pincus to all people trying to figure out how to put their best foot forward in the application process! Thank you Aringo!

If anyone is still looking for admission consultants, please allow me to share my experience.
After I considered and checked a number of professional consultants, I chose Aringo.com. Great choice! I was accepted to Wharton and Chicago thanks to strenuous work, very professional strategy, loving and close service, and primarily a wonderful match fitting to me and my needs.
It was not easy, and I think I survived this rocky road mainly thanks to the efforts of the Aringo staff with me, and the endless support I got during the process. Being that I believe that professional help is a critical part of any application preparation, I would be happy to take part in spreading their good name to the public.
