ARINGO MBA Admissions Consulting Reviews 16

Working with ARINGO was absolutely one of THE best decisions we made during our daughter’s MBA application journey. She applied during her senior year of college, and because she didn’t have traditional full-time work experience yet, we were unsure how her profile would be viewed by Top-15 MBA programs.

At first, we made the mistake of assuming the most expensive consultant would be the best choice. That experience didn’t work out as he did not not share our vision or have the confidence to position our daughter as a strong, unconventional candidate. Finding ARINGO changed everything!

From the very beginning, their team truly understood our daughter's story and her potential. They helped transform what we initially saw as challenges into strengths—highlighting her internship experience and her lifelong commitment to dance into powerful examples of leadership, discipline, teamwork, and responsibility.

Mark and Jen were nothing short of phenomenal throughout the entire process. Their guidance on applications and interview preparation was thoughtful, strategic, and incredibly supportive. They believed in her, helped her tell her story authentically, and prepared her to present herself with confidence.

The result? She was admitted to each of her Top-4 MBA programs and ultimately accepted the offer from her “dream” MBA program. Even now, it still feels a bit surreal.

As a parent, I can’t overstate the value of the expertise, encouragement, and peace of mind ARINGO provided. The return on investment was tremendous, and they took an enormous amount of stress off our family during what can be a very overwhelming process. With so many MBA consultants out there, it’s easy to get distracted trying to evaluate and compare them all. Save yourself the time and frustration of vetting multiple firms only to be disappointed by overcommitment and underperformance.

Without any reservation, I wholeheartedly recommend ARINGO to any MBA applicant—especially those with unique backgrounds who need help telling their story in a compelling way.

In closing, my wife and I are incredibly grateful for everything ARINGO did for our daughter and our family throughout this journey. We would gladly welcome anyone to contact us if you have specific questions about our experience.

Definitely 5/5 stars!

Shimri and the team were dedicated to my success, I received four offers from top schools, I highly recommend working with this team of superstars!!

Thanks to Sriram Emani and ARINGO, I got into NYU Stern with a GMAT score of 655! The guidance, support, and deep understanding of the admissions process were invaluable. My consultant helped me craft a compelling application and prepared me for every step. Highly recommend ARINGO and Sriram for anyone looking to make their MBA dreams a reality!

I worked with Aringo for MBA 2023 admissions and needed help to put my best foot forward with my application. The whole process in Aringo is very well structured. The best thing about Aringo is they know how to use your strengths and make you feel confident about your application which is very important for the candidates going through the application process. I worked with Mark and he was always there for me throughout my application journey and he helped me at every step with lots of patience. I also enjoyed working with Cathryn for my interview preparation; she helped me with her experience.
I applied to 3 colleges and got a final offer from 2 of them with a good amount of scholarships.
This wouldn’t have been possible without Mark, Cathryn and Aringo’s support and guidance. I highly recommend Aringo and I am truly thankful to Aringo & Jenifer for making my dream come true!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Daniel and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed with the
outcome. Not only did I receive a positive return on investment, but I was also able to secure a
scholarship from my target school, which made the entire process much more rewarding.

Throughout the entire process, Daniel was highly knowledgeable, professional, and always available
to answer any questions or concerns I had. He took the time to understand my individual needs and
goals and tailored his approach accordingly. His guidance was instrumental in helping me make
informed decisions and ensuring that I was on track to achieve my desired outcome.

His expertise in the field of MBA admissions was evident and I felt confident that I was in good
hands. He provided valuable insights and advice on everything from resume building, to essay
writing, to interview preparation. This was especially helpful as I was applying to top-tier business
schools and wanted to make the best impression possible.

Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the services provided by Daniel and would highly recommend
him to anyone, especially veterans, looking to pursue an MBA. They truly exceeded my expectations
and helped me reach my goals in a smooth and efficient manner. Thank you, Aringo and Daniel, for your support!

I had a 750 GMAT and didn’t get into the three M7 schools I applied with them round 1. They ghosted me after that, but round 2 I got accepted to 2 programs, without their assistance. Seems like a 0 value add.

I highly recommend ARINGO. As a re-applicant the quality of my applications after working with them was night and day compared to my first attempt on my own. The ARINGO team went out of their way to accommodate me and was very supportive. The results speak for themselves - admitted to my top choice school (M7) and another top 10 program.

Overall I had a great experience. I got enough help to reach great levels of applications I wouldn't believe I would reach. I got a lot of great advice and help throughout the entire process (I also had an amazing consultant). From time to time I got advice that probably wasn't the best but that was a very small percentage of the advice I got.

I worked with aringo in 2019 on 3 MBA application. From day one, Jenifer believed in me (other consultants said I don’t have a chance with my low GPA and GMAT) which was the main reason to choose aringo. and I am so happy I did
With the aringo help, I got two offers from Duke and Cornell and even a small scholarship. Thanks Sriram, Jenifer, Mark, Emily, Daniel and David your team rocks!

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!

ARINGO has done nothing but be friendly and hard working! They take their time with their clients and get to know their needs and ambitions and help them achieve them!

I definitely recommend aringo as well as exampal gmat tutors
I came across aringo by chance, and have loved them ever since.
When I saw their website, with so much free professional service about MBA admissions, I knew the people behind it must be pros. and they are.

I came across Aringo while I was searching the internet looking for an mba chances calculator. Aringo provide a very useful and comprehensive free tool that assesses your candidacy into your mba program of choice. From there, I had my initial phone consultation with Chaya, the company CEO, whom was very generous with her time. At the time, I had a 640 gmat and having spoken to several other consulting firms, they were reluctant to start working with me until I improved my gmat score, given that I was targeting only the top 5 MBA programs in the world. Chaya on the other hand, whilst still believed that it was a long shot for me to get accepted into my dream schools, decided that I should proceed with an hourly package to at least start working on my applications. Chaya recommended a few consultants, and I ended working with Prithvi, an HBS grad and a tech entrepreneur.

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 and look forward to start the program this coming fall with the class of 2020.

Well done aringo.
Got in to my dream school. Mainly thanks to you. You rock

The most professional consulting company for MBA in my experience, talked to a few of them in the past.

Thanks ARINGO!!!
I had my doubts at the beginning of the MBA process after scoring a low GMAT score (660 for 4 consecutive times...).

BUT, from day one, I felt ARINGO knows how to handle my case in the best possible way. I applied to 4 schools, got 3 interviews and 2 admission offers!

Thanks guys. You are the best!
