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.

  • 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.
    Romilson Bastos Filho, MBA Kellogg ‘03 Marketing Communication, Human Resources and Sustainability Director at OKI Brazil
  • I am a graduate of Stern-NYU's 2003 class. I met Ricardo Betti and MBA Empresarial when preparing my applications for universities and MBA courses. Ricardo - with his tireless patience and valuable opinions - was of fundamental importance to my application process and in my choice regarding which MBA to attend. Today I am a Director of a multinational company, a market leader and reference in our segment. Much of the success of my career and the professional that I am today is due to my MBA - and consequently to the work done with Betti. I'm certain that he and his company are some of the best - if not the best! - choices in this arduous process. Good luck!
    David Sion Turkie, MBA NYU Stern ‘03 Sales Director at FOX – WARNER
  • 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.

  • The whole process of choosing an MBA and applying to a top school made it very clear to me the importance of having people who understand the subject, who pass on tranquility, guide, question, and participate in body and soul. The MBA team with Ricardo's baton was fantastic at this important stage of my life. The involvement is so relevant that we sweat together in preparation and celebrated together in the results. Thanks a lot, or in Wharton style, where I did my MBA, fantastic ROI !!!!
    Bruno Gobbi Schmidt, MBA Wharton ‘99 Board Advisor & Business Development
  • Doing an MBA outside of Brazil can be one of the most important decisions in a person's life. This decision will certainly change the way you look at work-related activities as well as your future decisions in the course of your life. The investment in time and money is high, but certainly will payback not only financially, but also for the networking and mainly for the rich experience of life outside Brazil. The correct search for a professional counseling of people who know the schools outside Brazil and also the knowledge of how to prepare correctly for the TOEFL, GMAT and the correct way to finalize an application, will be determining factors in the making the correct choice of the best school for your profile and for your future goals. The MBA Empresarial, led by Ricardo Betti, MBA from MIT, certainly offers the best preparation in Brazil so that you can get it right with your school and attain the best scores in the admission exams. This investment will certainly be of
    great value for you to properly start this marathon called an MBA.
    Marcos Bellizia, MBA Boston University ’00 Business Development & General Manager - Latin America Food & Beverages
  • When the bank where I worked offered me a sponsorship for a master's degree in administration abroad, Ricardo Betti was the one who prepared me. It helped me in studying, being accepted, and choosing the university. He is a brilliant professional, perhaps the most qualified person on this subject that can be found, not only in Brazil!
