Admissions Consulting

With more than 25 years of experience, the MBA Counseling area aims to guide professionals who wish to pursue an MBA abroad (or other programs, such as LLM, undergrad, etc.). The orientation goes through all stages of the application process: from choosing the program suited to your needs, to preparing for the admissions process for the world’s most competitive business schools, such as Harvard, MIT, and Stanford, among others. Almost 2,000 clients have already been served, with a 92% approval rate and more than 3,000 attained admissions, out of which 76% lie in the top 15 business schools in the USA, and the top 3 in Europe. The guidance on the strategies and the preparation of applications is personalized and individual. In order to offer a full-service solution to our customers, MBA Empresarial has teamed up with Philadelphia Consulting, JCaro and The MBA Wire, and internationally with Veritas Prep, a global leader in online preparation for the GMAT. From this strategic alliance MBA Talent was born, which brings together some of the most experienced admissions consulting professionals in Latin America: Ricardo Betti, Maurício Betti, Júlio Caro, Paulo César Oliveira, Neusa Oliveira and Mateo Chang. In addition, MBA Recruitment and Selection services are also offered to companies that wish to fill their positions with highly qualified professionals, thus closing the professional development cycle of our clients: from preparing for the MBA to accessing the job market.

  • Ricardo Betti was instrumental in my MBA process and my wife's LLM process. In 2006 I entered the 2-year full-time MBA at the Kellogg School of Management (also having been accepted into 4 other top-10 schools) and in 2007 my wife was accepted into the Law School of Northwestern University. Ricardo helped us throughout the entire process, from the choice of the school ("Matching") to the preparation for the admissions process with the correct positioning of our experiences to maximize our chances in the top-schools. We strongly recommend the services of MBA Empresarial.

  • I really enjoyed interacting with Ricardo Betti during the application process. It was crucial for me to better understand the differences between schools and to be more sure of the choice. In addition, as MBA Empresarial has a great history in the market, they put me in contact with alumni of the schools to be able to interact directly with them. Doing an MBA and the choosing of the school are two big decisions, it is worth talking to those who have experience on it, because of this I recommend MBA Empresarial.

  • Getting into a good school is great. Entering the school of your dreams is wonderful. But it takes work, it takes time, it consumes energy. You compete with a lot of good people and you need to stand out. It's not easy. But with the Business MBA, you optimize your preparation and you gain time and energy to focus on that which will really make a difference, your story. It's worth it because you get a head start and you arrive ahead. Counting on MBA Empresarial is a super differentiator.

  • I will always be very grateful to the business MBA, and especially to Professor Ricardo Betti, for the extraordinary work done during my candidatures to the best business schools in the world. I remember that in my first conversation with Ricardo it was clear the great challenge that we would have ahead of us. I practically did not speak any English, did not have an immaculate school record, and already had more professional experience than was recommended by the schools themselves. MBA Empresarial accepted the challenge and the outcome of the program developed by them could not have been better. At the end of the preparation I attained 720 points in the GMAT and an offer from the London Business School, among others.

  • MBA Empresarial helped me a lot in the application process for my MBA. The role of counseling was fundamental so that I could know how to best expose my strengths and discover my differentials in things I would not have seen by myself. The role of the MBA was fundamental in my admission and they have always been there for me even after we have finished this process. I felt in them the perfect balance between professionalism and at the same time the proximity necessary to assist me in this.

  • A MBA Empresarial foi fundamental para todo o processo de decisão e preparação para meu MBA no INSEAD. O processo foi quase como o primeiro período de autoconhecimento do MBA, essencial para “career changers” como eu, onde repensei minhas experiências, defini prioridades e juntos conseguimos garantir os próximos passos necessários! Não sei como agradecer todo o apoio recebido, recomendo a todos buscando cursar um MBA de ponta!
