ARINGO Reviews & Ratings 2026

After my GMAT was sorted, I had to start working on my applications. All the consultant seems to be equally good and it was hard to find the right fit. I had a counseling session with Jenifer and instantly liked her. She advised me on the schools that I can apply to and paired me with Jason Bond who was a true mentor in every sense. The team has school specialists and what they bring to the table makes your application unique. I felt like I had decent credentials but I was totally lost on how to showcase the story. Jason helped me to identify the right stories and building the theme of the applications. He helped clean up my storytelling and provided valuable feedback to smoothen the rough edges. I was confident that my applications are strong and interview calls proved the same. I had multiple rounds of mock interview sessions and got offers from 4 schools!!! Jenifer and Jason exceeded expectations- Thanks Aringo!

With an average GMAT score and from an over-represented demographic, I did not hope much from the applications. I started talking to different admission consultants and they thought the same. But Jen was an exception. She brought the peculiar points in my profile which even I failed to look at. That was the deal maker and I knew Aringo could make an outstanding case out of an ordinary applicant like me. Jen quickly mapped me with Jason Bond– my wonderful consultant made the crazy process of application super simplified. There was so much I did not know about the process but Jason was a lifesaver. I will always remember the level of commitment from the Aringo team who helped me with shaping my resume, essays, short questions, and interview preparation. I was accepted in IE and wholeheartedly recommend Aringo to every MBA aspirant.

Jen introduced me to Shimri with whom I worked for my applications and I am glad she did. Shimri took time to understand my background, my career goals, strengths, and weakness before jumping on anything. The brainstorming session played a key role in how my story should be created and the team knows what the school is looking for in an application. We spent hours on essays until it was perfect. With the combined effort I got an offer from INSEAD which was like dream come true. I was elated beyond words on receiving the admission letter. Thank you Shimri for being a tremendous coach!

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!

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!!!

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. :)

I was recommended by a friend to work with Aringo and am fully satisfied with the experience. I worked with Shimri on my application strategy and his inputs were invaluable. He was very supportive and helped me refine my thoughts and structure the application essays well. He also kept checking on me throughout the process and was always available to discuss any changes, even if they were on the very last day before the application deadline. I really admire his candid feedback and no BS approach while discussing the strategy and enjoyed working with him.  I have joined Columbia Business School this year and would recommend Aringo to all the prospective students for application strategy and essays.

I worked with Mark 3 years ago on my applications for Duke and two other top schools. He was extremely professional, friendly and understood what I wanted. I ended up getting into two out of three of those programs and graduated from Duke’s program last year. Since then I have been working at Bank of America, a position I never would have been considered for without my MBA from Duke. Could not recommend ARINGO highly enough!

Choosing ARINGO was one of the best decisions I ever made. I would never have been accepted to MIT without their help. Thanks ARINGO!

After studying in Istanbul and New York, I knew that for my MBA I wanted to study abroad again. When Sriram suggested INSEAD to me, I was surprised. I didn't think that my GMAT was good enough to even apply. . After working on my application I got into INSEAD And two of my other top schools.

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!
