Choosing Sriram as my admissions consultant was one of the best decisions I have ever made in terms of my education. I spoke with 8 potential consultants and nobody came close to understanding my application so quickly. On the first call Sriram immediately began firing off ideas for directions to potentially take my application. Not only is he an incredible storyteller who helped me craft an entirely unique narrative, but he drove me to work on my applications until that narrative was perfectly communicated in every single application. He was readily available at all hours of the day- particularly near deadlines. Without him I would not have gotten into Wharton.
The entire Aringo team is fantastic and provided extra support the whole way through, particularly when it came to school selection and interview preparation. I can't recommend Sriram and Aringo highly enough.

When I started my application process, I initially believed I could navigate it alone, relying on online resources. However, I soon realized that I needed substantial assistance.
From my first session with ARINGO, I was impressed. I asked for advice on my school list and was told I should aspire higher - which is the extra push I needed to apply to HBS in the first place. I wanted a consultant who could help me find the most compelling story. Sriram Emani was the right person for this job. Sriram consistently pushed me to look for stories in which I shined, helped me refine my resume to help me stand out.
I generally have a hard time with self-flattery, and I was having a hard time writing the application. Sriram constantly pushed me to highlight my accomplishments (and back them up with numbers). Our sessions not only aided me in recognizing my strengths but also provided valuable insights for long-term personal development.
I wholeheartedly endorse the Aringo team.

Two weeks before the application deadline I decided to get in contact with Aringo to finalize my MBA applications. I was obviously under time pressure and in need for a consultant who would be available 24/7. Sriram was keen on accelerating the process of reviewing my application and provided great advice that helped me in securing a MBA spot at my top choice program with scholarship. What stood out was his pursuit for perfection. He did not allow myself to cut any corners and pushed me to really reflect on why I am the perfect candidate for the program. All in all an amazing coach who I strongly recommend working with!

Working with Aringo on your business school application is something I STRONGLY RECOMMEND. For my application to Sloan, Booth and Fuqua, Aringo's Sriram helped me write my essay. Sriram helped me polish the tales I wanted to utilise in the application process, so that they would have the most effect on the admissions committee. When I worked with Sriram, it was always quite easy. As well as being prompt in his communications, he offered straightforward advice. If you're thinking about going to business school, I highly suggest Sriram!
Moreover, It was a pleasure to work with Aringo, where I received invaluable assistance in a number of areas, including writing, resume creation, interview preparation, and LOR. They also do a great job of conceptualizing the approach in line with your program without compromising your true topic or distinctive story. Aringo (specially Jen) really impressed me with their personal touch.

I had some really good experience with Aringo. After dinged twice in my round 1 application, I changed my consultant to Aringo for three schools in round 2 and received two offers from two top 5 business schools, including a top three with 75% scholarship!
The process with Aringo was very systematic. Besides working with Sriram who is fantastic and instrumental with helping me improve my application materials (especially my resume), I have been connected with past alumni during essay review and interview prep process - all of them have been extremely helpful.
I highly recommend Aringo, especially if you already have had a taste with the process, understand the process and want to go further with your application plan.

You won’t regret choosing Sriram’s services. Honestly, he has been more helpful than any friend, teacher, peer, confidant I have met and asked for help. Prior to applying, I had gone to several people for help, but it was only after going to Sriram when I was able to actually improve my application. It was the best decision I made. As a result, I was able to get into my top choice MIT Sloan in Round 3.
Right from the start, Sriram was patient and very sharp to understand my industry and experiences. He was able to ask questions that helped me formulate my thoughts and think deeper about my application. As a result, I was able to carefully handle my weaknesses, bolster my strengths, and convey my ideas in my essays and videos in a very eloquent manner. Even more so, I was able to improve my writing quality by thinking about the why, the important details, structure, style, etc, which are all skills that are necessary in any kind of writing. Moreover, Sriram was also able to help me tailor my responses to the particular school I was applying for.
For interviews, Sriram was extremely patient. I really struggled getting back into interview mode after job interviews, but Sriram patiently highlighted the specific aspects of my responses that needed work, which left me with actionable items to work on. This is a gamechanger because most people give generic feedback or leave me feeling like I know what the problem is, but not how to solve it. Sriram’s biggest strength is getting you think about things in a different light.
Sriram is very friendly and amicable. His responses were so quick- most of the time < 24 hours. He has very high standards and pushes you to reach your maximum potential. He has plenty of resources and is an amazing person in general to get to know. I was just inspired just by his work ethic!

wow wow wow is all I have to say
it is always best to work with someone who believes in you and cares about you and that is exactly what I got back here.
I spoke to 4 admission consultant firms - but Jen from ARINGO was the only one who thought I had a chance in R3.
I contacted ARINGO on March 10th and applied by April 1st to 3 schools. Sriram my consultant, was on my case from day 1 - suggesting improving, editing, supporting and leading the process
And when I got an interview for Kellogg and Wharton, ARINGO where there for me with 5 interview prep sessions
What can I say - Real pros. Worth the money, worth the confidence.
THANKS!

I have a friend recommended me Sriram for the MBA consulting service and was very glad that I got to work with him along the process. I was able to get into my top choice school (CBS) in the end with the help from him.
Sriram is an expert in the field and is very professional. He helped me a lot in terms of brainstorming my essays and tailoring to each school. He was very honest about advice and had very quick turnover of each round of feedback, which I very much appreciated. My first draft of essay was very different with my final version, and I am grateful that Sriram helped me to create a piece that represented myself well and suited for application.
For Sriram's professionalism and expertise in the field, I highly recommend him as a MBA consultant for your application.

Sriram helped me apply for 4 schools: HBS, GSB, Sloan, and Wharton. I got interviews from GSB Sloan and Wharton and got offers from Wharton and Sloan. My time for the application was tight (only about one and a half months), but Sriram guided me through the whole process with experienced techniques, impressive strategic thinking, and quick turnaround. He patiently discussed with me on every essay, commented with super detailed suggestions, and helped me avoid numerous mistakes I would have made if I applied myself. He also conducted a series of mock interviews with me which helped me aced the real ones later. I truly appreciate Sriram's great help, and I would recommend Sriram to any MBA applicants without hesitation.

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!!
