Applying for postgraduate studies is undoubtedly a tedious process and to get into any of the top notch schools, one has to have a very well-crafted application. When I started the application process, I clearly had no idea at all on how to proceed and come up with a convincing application. I was sure at this point that I need a specialized consultant to have a strong application.
Upon my research, I learned about ARINGO and just by looking at the reviews, I was convinced to hire them. Although none of my friends or acquaintances had the experience of working with ARINGO, I still chose them by looking at their success stories. And when I had the free consultation call with them, I became even more confident that my decision is right.
They are very well organized and professional in their field and have the exact specialized knowledge that is required for the entire process of application. Choosing ARINGO undoubtedly makes a significant difference because they know exactly what do the top schools want to see in your application and what can convince them to induct you.
Despite of having a low GPA, my consultant, Jennifer, did not let me lose my confidence and her constant guidance and directions kept me motivated. I am someone who asks a lot of questions but I must say, each time she responded with full responsibility and attention and used to listen to all of my questions (some of them won’t even make sense at all). She is very professional and concise in her work and responds pretty quickly with the updated version of essays. So, the bottom line is, that if you are considering hiring a consultant for your applications, you should not give it a second thought and get started with ARINGO, because they will surely do a great job and your chances of getting into your dream school will increase exponentially.

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.

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.

I got accepted to the Cornell Tech MBA with the very helpful and supportive experts at ARINGO.
Communication with them was always very easy and prompt, and the advice they provided me with helped me organize everything that I needed for the application process.
Their support continued throughout the interview process, as well as preparations for back-up schools.
Along with CV and recommendation support, the background and knowledge that ARINGO has regarding most of the top business programs provides a lot of important insight into the application process.
I strongly endorse this consulting company and believe that they are well worth the investment!

After multiple retakes, the best I could manage on the GMAT was a 660. Adding to this par score was my low GPA. When I decided to start the application process, I was very sure to hire a consultant as I was targeting US schools ranked 20-30 (US News) and Top 10 European B schools. I spoke to 7 big firms and everyone except Jen (Jenifer Turtschanow) told me that I should be realistic in choosing schools and should target US schools ranked outside 35 (US news) and European schools ranked outside 50 (Financial Times). Jenifer loved my career goals and trusted that I had the potential to make it to Top Schools. I vetted the Aringo’s consultant pool and chose Sriram. Sriram’s achievements speak volumes about him that were reinforced by his clients’ testimonials.

Sriram is very professional and concise while addressing the changes in essays. Here’s an example of how he addressed when I sent him some poorly written stuff.

“Please find attached. Am a bit surprised by the responses, it looks like you've just rushed into them without spending much thought. For a few of them the question asked is different than what you are responding. In many places you are stating things without any context or example or explanation. We've already worked on so many essays I thought you would use some of those here. Many of them do not have any professional examples at all, and it looks very hastily put together. Please review my comments and do the needful.

These are professional programs, please do not write statements like I want to work in XXXX because it is cosmopolitan and a good place to have fun. That makes it seem more like you want to vacation there because your city is polluted. XXXXX is not going to give you admission for reasons like this. It needs to be a more carefully thought-through positioning of professionally what it will offer to you.”

His turnaround time is super quick, sometimes 6 hours and most of the times less than 24 hours. With Sriram, I can confidently say that one could submit 3 strong applications in 10 days. I applied to 3 Top 10 European Programs all in the final rounds and received an admit from one school, waitlisted (as the school had a cap for Indian applicants) at one school and awaiting results from another school. I remember the interviewer telling me that my application was so informative that the interview was just to hear my story through me online.

I trusted Sriram in this journey and he delivered far above expectations. He used to set ambitious goals. The results were nothing short of outstanding. I don’t believe anyone else would have had the ability in pitching my profile so perfectly towards what seemed to be unreachable goals and the same commitment as Sriram’s. I am thrilled that I chose him. Aringo’s Intelligence reports for Top B-schools are extremely helpful. Mock Interviews with Jen and Sriram are no different from the official ones. Their interview questions were authentic and school specific. Just to touch upon briefly, for the school I’m awaiting result I was interviewed for 3 hours and never did I become nervous during those grueling 3 hours. I credit Jen and Sriram for that. Investing thousands of dollars in Aringo was a risk that I was certain about and I’m glad that it has been rewarding. One could argue that I made the decision to opt Aringo but I got lucky along the way to have right people like Jen and Sriram.

To all applicants, especially Indians, who are considering an admissions consultant, I suggest Sriram because he will have profoundly positive impact on your candidacy and with him you are never alone in this journey. Thank you Jen for connecting me to Sriram. Lastly, many thanks to all the test drive experts at Aringo!!

If you choose purchasing advising service I highly recommend Aringo. They are well organized and work professionally. Since the price is not negletable I would say that if you have the time and energy you might be able to write the application forms by yourself, but be sure that you'll work harder and will have to find what the schools want to know about you and how to present it.

The process was stressful for me, I was emotionally invested into it and it had it toll. My adviser, Gwen, did well in soothing my fears by pointing out and reminding me what are my key strengths. She taught well me how to write and how to "sell" my story better. It is something I'll carry with me.

Bottom line - with Aringo's help I've been accepted to two out of two schools, they have made good work in consulting me, and I'm sure they'll do great job for anyone else.

I applied to UCLA Anderson as my top choice and was lucky to have Lin in my corner as he was very attuned to my situation and application needs right off the bat. As someone with a somewhat "generic" but strong background, having Lin's guidance to take my application to the next level was vital. His insight into the application process was valuable to me and his tactical approach worked well for me. He has a very keen understanding of what Admissions Committees acutely look for and was able to substantially improve my essay responses, resume, and my interview answers. Highly recommend for anyone who is looking to be accepted into a top-ranked program.

I approached Aringo near the R2 deadline. Fortunately, I met Jenifer and Sriram. They were both very responsible and professional!

Sriram is a great mentor in leading me to discover the values of my background. He also set a high bar for my application materials and makes sure I bring out the best state and stories in my application. My understanding of the MBA application improved a lot with his support and teachings.

I cannot remember how many rounds we edited my essays and resumes. But they were always so patient and detail-oriented in giving me the best advice and service. The best part I enjoyed working with them is that they always replied to me promptly. When I had a week to the deadline, they helped me edit my essays and sent me back within 24 hours every day in that week.

I will highly recommend their service to new MBA applicants.
