Rachel Segal Reviews

The journey with Aringo MBA admissions consulting has been nothing short of exceptional, from the very first meeting and follow-up calls to the incredible news of acceptance into my top four school choices (LBS, Judge, Oxford, HEC). The support and assistance provided by the Aringo team have been truly remarkable.
Having extensively researched various consulting agencies, I knew that Aringo was the best choice, but their team went above and beyond my already high expectations. Rachel emerged as a beacon of positivity throughout the entire process. Even when the combined pressures of the application process and managing my professional career threatened to overwhelm me, Rachel consistently offered unwavering support and invaluable advice.

Here's some advice I would like to share with prospective Aringo clients: Trust and follow their guidance. The team possesses profound expertise and always has your best interests at heart. If you diligently adhere to their outlined plan of action and deliver accordingly, I truly believe that the chances of failure are minimal.
Words cannot express my gratitude to Rachel and the entire Aringo team. I genuinely cannot fathom what the outcome would have been without their exceptional guidance.

The review title says it all. I got into Tuck, Anderson, and Cornell with hefty scholarships. I dreamt of just getting one admission but aringo’s magic made the impossible possible.

Rachel Segal, my consultant helped translate my work and life experiences into an impactful essay that I could not have done on my own. She helped me dig deep into the past through self-reflection so I could figure out what I wanted in my essays and why. This not only helped me but also excited me for the next chapter. Working with aringo was a seamless process. The strategy review, quality analysis, test drives, and interview prep- each step had its merits and added value to my application bundle. I just can’t thank them enough.

I am a last round applicant, applied to Oxford and Cambridge with Rachel’s help, and then applied to IE and ESADE based on the same materials myself. I got accepted to all four business schools, each with a scholarship. Rachel was very helpful. She assisted me with building my story, and of course, refining my English level. In addition, since I applied in the last round, the deadlines were very tight. Rachel was always available for me, even on the weekend before the submission. Due to that, we managed to finish the essays within a few weeks. Rachel is highly recommended.

Wow! I cant stress enough how happy i am that i choose working with Aringo. Shimri the CEO is a great guy, he helped me even with things i havent paid for!! I worked with Rachel who is amazing! I got into Duke and Emory and its only thanks to their help! Studying for the GMAT was a horibble experience for me since i have exam related anxiety so it was super hard for me and yet, Shimri and Rachel believed in me every step of the way! I am still waiting on some more answers but i had 5 interviews and got into 3 places and waiting to hear from the other 2. ARINGO is great! they really accompany you throughout the process, from strateegy to interview, paying attention to every detail, and most importantly, really care about me and my admissions process. Countless calls, WhatsApp messages at all times, emails, and document back and forths prove it. I know I will be studying in one of the top business schools in the US next year, and it is all thanks to Aringo!

After doing the GMAT and scoring 710, I thought the toughest part is done. And I was so wrong. The struggle had just begun. Initially, I tried doing the MBA application on my own but eventually got confused (INSEAD alone has 7 essays…). As taking the MBA was going to be one of the biggest decisions of my life, I did not want to take any chances with the application process. I was also applying late and couldn't afford to wait for the next round.

Aringo believed in me more than I did. Rachel was there at every step and guided me thoroughly. She never spoon-fed but helped me think from a different perspective (they were very patient with me, we updated the CV over 7 times). And what I loved the most, she was always open to my suggestions (no matter even if they sounded silly). I was always given a rationale whenever the edits were given on my drafts. I got into 3 schools. I still remember when I saw the Congratulation email from INSEAD, the first thing I did was to share it with Aringo. I knew they would be equally thrilled.

With a 690 on GMAT, I started my research on admission consultants and that’s when I came to know about ARINGO. I thought since I could not break the barrier of 700+ I would need to compromise on my applications but ARINGO's strategy team head, Shimri Winters, thought otherwise. He evaluated my profile and gave me the confidence of applying to my dream schools. With Rachel Segal's incredible support and storytelling skills, and the ARINGO team, I got 4 out of 4 interviews and 3 admissions, 2 with scholarships. I am now headed towards joining the Cornell Tech program for the class of Fall 21. Looking back I can undoubtedly say that ARINGO was the best investment ever made. They really go the extra mile to provide all the support and work towards a common goal of getting admits. Thanks ARINGO for believing in me and making my dream come true!

Aringo helped me with every aspect of my application. Within a very short time frame, I had applied for 4 of my top schools and did 1 on my own. The process of applying to 4 schools with Aringo gave me the knowledge me to apply to 1 on my own, and I I learned a lot about myself during the process.

Aringo is very honest and clear with their goals and expectations, and does not give you false hope. I had certain schools set in mind, but after speaking with the team, I found out schools that fit me better. Shimri, Rachel and the rest of the team is great. They answer questions very quickly and helped with everything that I needed. Their experienced staff set you up for success no matter your background or score.

Today I am at the University of Michigan and could not be happier. Aringo is worth every penny and would definitely recommend .

I worked with ARINGO on several schools and got into 4: Duke, Tuck, Yale, and Cornell, 3 of them with a scholarship. I was very satisfied with their guidance, their responsiveness and professionalism. While some would think that the process should be stressful, I found it rather enjoyable, especially with the help of my consultant who made sure to provide viable and positive feedback with a lot of sense of humor and respect. Another thing I liked about ARINGO is their robust and proven processes and platforms, which facilitate communication and way of work to ensure professional and productive work throughout the process. I would definitely recommend ARINGO to any friend of mine who would be interested in applying for an elite MBA program.

I reached out to Aringo a few months prior to the round two application deadlines and they advised me on the various options I could take. Aringo was professional and respected my budget constraints.

The process, which they use, is effective and thorough. Initially I had to send a wide range of information on myself. This allowed a number of consultants to help me narrow down which schools I should target. They each provided useful feedback to help me decide: where I would have the best chance of admission and which schools are most suited to my personality, past experience and professional goals.

After establishing which schools I would target, I was assigned a consultant who would help me with my essays and resume. My consultant was brilliant. She took time to truly understand me and what I wanted to achieve. An invaluable aspect was her attention to detail, which is perfectly aligned with what the schools are looking for. She reviewed my essays and would send comments back to me, in most cases, in less than a day. Her comments made me reflect on a deeper level and come up with more compelling essays.

After receiving interview invites from both Duke and Berkeley, the schools which Arigno helped me apply to, I also did interview preparation with them. The prep was incredibly thorough. I was completely relaxed and prepared, thanks to the mock interviews I did with them.
