ARINGO Reviews & Ratings 2026

Doing an MBA was never in my mind in my graduation days. Hence, I did not pay much attention to my extracurriculars, my early career, etc. which all play very important roles in the MBA applications. I decided to take personalized mentorship so that I can put my best foot forward.   Working with Shay has been a fantastic experience. I was juggling many tasks both in personal and professional space. However, he helped me managing my time optimally. When sharing my essays, I had clear and intelligent feedbacks along with the next action items. It made the process easy for me which otherwise is very daunting. I was also helped to prepare my resume in the Oxford template. As I mentioned I did not have many stories to write, Aringo still made me carved out wonderful essays. Oxford happened because of Aringo. I 100% recommend them for applications.

I was aiming for only 1 school i.e. London Business School.   When I spoke to consultants everyone told me that while we can try for LBS but you should hedge your risks and apply to more schools. I did not want to. I thought Aringo will be no different but I was wrong. Aringo told me that I have all that is needed for LBS admission. My request for speaking to the consultant before enrolment was taken positively. Shay has a proven track record of helping clients with LBS applications, so I was confident. Beyond essays, LBS application is quite tricky. Both long and short essays were guided well. Aringo also has school specialists who have a perfect eye for detail. The interview preparation was also very thorough and the resources shared with me played an instrumental role in gaining the admit. Very happy and content with the team.

My cousin referred Aringo to me and I have not regretted even a single day post I signed up with them. In my discussion with Aringo, my plans, my profile, and my expectations from a consultant were discussed. Aringo very much offered everything that is needed for a successful application. Also, what I liked peculiarly was that they do not have a cap limit on discussions with mentors, or ad hoc pricing for a scholarship essay, etc. When they x school program- they mean everything associated with it. Jason Bond, my primary consultant, started the work with my resume. He did minute but extremely significant tweaks to my resume. The essays prepared by me were reviewed line by line. His comments helped me to combine all the pieces of my personality and bring a stronger version of my story. When working with Aringo, you not only get the feedback points from 1 person, rather your application goes through various stages of quality tests so that nothing critical is missed.  On receiving interview calls once the applications were submitted, I prepared by attending different mock sessions. I was given honest feedback and I practiced more. I am happy to tell you that I got an admit from Tepper school and I do not shy away from recommending Aringo to anyone looking for genuine help.

I still remember how lost I was when I decided to do MBA applications on my own. Preparing a stellar MBA application is a herculean task. That’s when I started reaching out and got to know about ARINGO from a friend of mine. I knew I was a little late in the game and I was worried about crafting my story and articulating why I was ready to get my MBA. Jen gave the confidence that I have enough to pull a good application and I would not have to compromise. I was quickly assigned Derin Raji and she was super prompt. In the brainstorming session, I was happy to see the analysis that was done on my profile by the strategy team. My narrative was clear and logical. Once the essay work started, Derin helped me to bring the part of my stories that resonated with each school I was applying to. The resume and recommendation letters, everything complemented each other. I was very satisfied with my final applications.  I got into Rice University in round 2 and was very happy with the admit! I loved the way I was coached by Jen and Derin! Thank you guys????

My result says it all. ???? Getting into MIT is every MBA applicant’s dream and I made it into this prestigious school with help of my Jason from aringo. I worked with him and he is were very knowledgeable and resourceful. Right from the school selection, goals preparation, etc. until the interview, the support was constant. I just can’t thank Jason and aringo enough!

Before reaching out to aringo, I was struggling to translate my professional journey into meaningful application essays. While I had some flair for writing, the MBA applications require a different approach. When I talked to Jenifer from aringo, I spoke about my specific requirements, and she not only understood them, she guided me as well. Before enrolling, she helped me identify my unique points and how I can go about crafting my essays made me sure of proceeding with aringo.  After the brainstorming session with Yair Ton, I was helped with my essay outlines. It helped me structure my essays well and I realized it was not the only point to worry about. He also worked on my resume and shared his insights on how to make it more impactful. Not only this, but I was also assisted on application filling and how to optimally utilize the limited space for short questions. And then came the interview preparation- my answers were polished and the feedbacks were very crisp.  All the hard work paid off when I got my admission offer from Ross with a USD 20,000 scholarship. Jen and aringo are experts in understanding your needs and driving you through awesome results. They are the BEST!

I was very much part of the overrepresented pool (male, Asian, Engineer, etc.) and thought that I would not have anything unique to tell but in my first call with Jason- he was able to convince me otherwise. And she was not generic about it; he had specific points from my resume to justify it. That was Bang On! Jason and Aringo team together helped me create beautifully crafted essays, resumes and gave inputs to my recommenders. The application I submitted super exceeded my expectations. The interview preparation was also well structured. They not only give feedback on content but also on body language, vocal tonality and advised me to avoid over-preparing else it will look too scripted.   I got admission to Cornell and I could not be happier. You need Aringo’s gold touch in your MBA applications for positive results!

From our very first call, Mark had my absolute trust! He could build a connection with me and I was superbly impressed by him. He told me with my profile (which I thought was too conventional), I have a fair shot with top-ranked schools. As ARINGO believed in me, I dived into the application process with them. Guys, Mark will make you work hard for your applications and he will work even harder. ????  To depict well what you are doing, what you want to do with your life, what inspires you, etc. is not as easy as it sounds. He helped me to self-analyze these points and that’s how you make your application shine from the others. Post application submission and with interviews done, I waited for the results. To my surprise, I received admits from Foster (with scholarship), Emory (with scholarship), INSEAD, Tepper (with scholarship), and USC Marshall!!!  Mark and ARINGO underpromise you and overdeliver- that’s what you need for your applications.

I signed up with ARINGO consulting early admission season that is around May. This gave me an ample amount of time to have the preliminary discussion on themes coming out from my experiences and then layering them on all the essays.   Jenifer made the applications much more manageable and less stressful. With Jason on my side, I was enabled to dig deeper into my experiences and could bring out a solid framework for my stories and plans. The final essays were light years ahead of what I wrote myself before the discussion. He was very accessible. My queries were answered promptly. The good thing about ARINGO is that your consulting is not restricted to 1 or 2 consultants, but rather there is teamwork- strategy team, quality analysts, test drive, school specialists, etc. So you are more than double sure that your applications are scrutinized well before it is brought to the eyes of the Adcoms. He ensured that I can optimally utilize the time for starting early by connecting with student ambassadors. Sometimes, it not just about the application. Doing so, also helps you to create a rapport with the program member so that you do not feel alien when you join the program. Thanks again. ????  In short, I really appreciate having ARINGO on my side and I would recommend them to anyone exploring MBA admission consultants.

Aringo services played a huge role in my acceptance to Stanford! After talking to multiple consultants, I finally gave my nod to Jenifer from aringo owing to their personalized approach and being honest about my profile review. My incredible consultant Jason Bond- assessed my complete profile and told me which schools will suit me best. The way aringo team wants to learn about you to make your stories outstanding is beyond words. When giving feedback on essays, they just don’t tell you to rewrite a section; rather will tell you which story will fit best/what to change precisely, etc. I could see how committed and focused Jason was for every session.  I recommend them highly to anyone serious about applying to top MBA programs.

I had a fantastic experience with aringo and received 2 admits- INSEAD and Cambridge (with scholarship). David helped me achieved this. He did wonders with my essays. The in-house resources that aringo has also played a crucial role.   Honestly, I was not expecting admissions from such top schools. These guys are the right partner for your MBA journey.

I had a few introductory calls with multiple consultants but after speaking to Jen, I knew I wanted Aringo’s expertise in my applications. Jen was really excited about my candidacy and introduced me to Sriram Emani. I was amazed by the experience he holds besides the MIT degree. He helped me define my career goals which was the key component of my applications. I am the kind of person who does not like to talk too much about himself. Sriram ensured probing me with the right set of questions that made me think about stories on both professional and personal front. The feedback on the essays/resume was constructive in a manner that motivated me to improve. Simple gestures like proactively asking if I need any help, checking on me after interviews, etc. made me feel that the Aringo team is just as interested in my application as I am. That was a differentiator.   With Sriram’s and Aringo’s guidance, I was gladly accepted to my target school Tuck!

I worked with aringo team and I am super satisfied with the service provided by them. Frankly, I was registering with my details on multiple admission consultants’ websites and was having the initial counseling session done every other day. Some overly promised and some thought that I am aiming too high. Jenifer from Aringo had a different take though. She gave me a thorough idea of what all is positive and what all is not so positive in my profile. She also gave me a clear plan of how Aringo can help me showcase my application in a way so that it is appealing to the adcoms of top B schools.   I then signed up with them and she introduced Derin Raji. Derin is very knowledgeable and was more like a guiding light. I didn’t have a strong understanding of what a business school looks for in the essays and Derin was able to fill that gap. Her insightful feedback on my essays made them unique and helped me align with the values of the school. I appreciate the genuine care she placed on the success of my applications and how she was equally happy when I received the admit from Yale.   All thanks to Aringo- it would not have been possible without them!

thank you aringo. I can't say this enough times. I come from an unorthodox background, both personally and professionally and you guys helped from the start to the final interview stages present myself in the best way, I always thought I had fewer chances but you guys helped me turn my diversity into my strength!  Jason is a real pro and helped me align my essays, shaping them into a stellar application, then the entire team kicked in for reviews and revisions and interview prep!

I could have never gotten the INSEAD's admit without aringo’s help. After speaking to Jen for the first time, I liked the way she showed great empathy and understanding when listening to my background and goals. She could relate to my research done and gave her insights in that first call itself.  I then worked with Shay who instead of immediately starting with the essays - took time to help me articulate a personal unique story that was both authentic and powerful. Even when working on various versions of an essay draft, while the essay improved, the uniqueness and authenticity were intact. Shay took time to even review my application, just to ensure that everything is up to the mark.  Honestly speaking, business school admissions can be incredibly challenging. Having a consultant who is at your side and helping you with commitment is bliss. I owe my successful application to aringo.

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.

Team Aringo helps you deliver the best. Jenifer was amazing when I first spoke to her. She sorted all my queries and cleared all my inhibitions in a patient manner. After taking up Aringo’s consultancy, I was connected with Jason Bond who is a gem of a person. Jenifer and Jason ensured that they are available for every step in the application process. Jason was attentive and invested a ton of time to know me better. He ensured that the key stories of my life are highlighted well. Once I started sharing my initial drafts of the essays, I was highly impressed by thoughtful feedbacks with a very quick turnaround time. Not only the essays- Jenifer and Jason ensured an impeccable application from A to Z including the interview preparation. I was very happy on receiving the acceptance from NYU Stern. Thank you so much!

I had the pleasure of working with Mark Archuleta to prepare for my B school applications. What I really liked about him was the way he helped me discover and prepare the narrative of my initial draft of the essay until the post-interview reflections.   As I am an engineer by training, so not good at writing stories. Mark worked with me from v1 of essays till v10 unless we agreed together that the file is ready to go. I loved the way he encouraged me not to use too much ornamental language and use the word limit optimally to convey my thoughts, logical connection of my stories. His feedbacks on every document shared were both fast and thorough. In the test drive run of my applications, we checked all the points.   I appreciate the genuine care he placed on the success of the applications and I was happy to receive two admits from top schools.

I stumbled across Aringo’s website one night and was amazed to see the free resources available with them. You can find everything that you need for MBA research in that one place. I registered on their website and promptly received an email from Jenifer with details. I scheduled the call and embarked on my journey with Aringo. She understood my interests and also explained to me how we would work during my application. I had clarity on every aspect and was introduced to my star consultant Shay Mendelson. We started filling out a profile summary sheet and then move into strategy and brainstorming calls. Once we decided upon schools, we not only worked on the application materials but were also advised on how to engage with schools. Speaking with ambassadors and attending the info sessions made my school-specific essays very personalized. Shay is not only extremely detail-oriented in proofreading, but he is also an expert on bringing out nuances in your experience that can be easily be missed. He helps you discover not only why this school but also how you would uniquely contribute to that specific program.  Once the application was submitted, Jen’s & Shay’s dedication did not stop. The interview preparation was top-notch. I was confident in my actual interview and was able to tackle all the questions. The first thing I did on receiving the admit from UNC Kenan Flagler is to update Aringo and they were as excited as I was. I give them my highest recommendation.

After completing the MBA, when I look back, I realize that securing an admit from a good B school is tough but finding the right consultant who would take you there is even tougher. ????  When I started planning for MBA, round 1 was almost gone and I had to compete with the candidates in round 2. My playground was mainly in UK schools. On speaking with Jenifer, she gave me a fair idea about my chances in my targeted schools- no sugarcoating. The honest feedback by Jenifer made me sign up with them. She sent an introductory email marking me and my consultant Joy Pincus. Joy’s experience with candidates and getting them admitted to all top schools is very evident when you speak to her. I found her a very straightforward person who laid down the pros and cons of my profile and told me a way on how to deal with it in the applications. She was very reasonable and never imposed any choice on me. She also helped me to change the face of my resume by highlighting the most important points in a very appealing way. As mentioned, I was racing against time, still, I was able to submit competitive applications comfortably before the deadlines for all the schools. Jen’s and Joy’s support not only helped me bagged 2 admits but also guided me on choosing which one is more suitable. The way they are resourceful, always available for their clients, etc. makes them awesome consultants.
