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.

Know the opinion from those who have already hired

  • Doing an MBA in a school that is among the TOP 10 was something that came in a turbulent way into my plans, as I had little time to do everything. MBA Empresarial, with professionals and partners of high level who, besides the competence, work with their heart in their mission, helped me a lot in the organization, prioritization and execution of the preparation to apply. The Business MBA Empresarial efficiently catalyzed from the choosing of the right school for me, up to what I should focus on more on each stage of the preparation. As a result of this work with them, I chose and got into Kellogg, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I have ever made.

  • The MBA at Stanford was one of the most important and transformative experiences of my life. There I had access to tools, people and opportunities that enabled me to re-signify my career and align it with my life purpose. Ricardo and team were fundamental at this stage, understanding my profile, helping me choose which schools fit into what I was looking for and guiding me in the application process.
    A work that is very serious, deep and personalized, which has been transformed into a partnership for life! I am forever grateful!
    Claudio Sassaki, MBA Stanford ‘03 Co-Founder at Geekie
  • MBA Empresarial was part of 2 special moments in my career. The first one was the acceptance into MIT. When I arrived at MBA Empresarial, I had so many doubts about what to do and how to do that I did not know where to start ... Ricardo Betti, with his knowledge and guidance, was essential to get me on the right (and more efficient) path that resulted in acceptance - one of the moments I remember most fondly in my career! The other moment was the time I worked as an Associate in MBA Empresarial itself, in MBA Counseling. It was 2 years of great learning, and I especially remember the very friendly environment of the company, with people who are willing, with initiative, acting in a collaborative environment. Without a doubt an enriching period from a professional and personal point of view.

  • O Ricardo Betti é a pessoa de escolha quando se trata de decidir se ou onde estudar no exterior. Nós mantivemos excelentes e reveladoras conversas que realmente moldaram o meu processo decisório. Sou muito grato a ele pelo tempo que trabalhamos juntos e o recomendo para qualquer pessoa pensando em buscar uma pós no exterior.
    Fabio Haberland, MBA Wharton ‘06 Partner at Arktos Capital
  • 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
  • Minha experiência com o Ricardo Betti foi um processo fantástico de autoconhecimento e planejamento de carreira. Através de conversas pessoais e francas, ele conseguiu identificar os meus pontos fortes e tornar meus essays muito mais efetivos e competitivos. O Ricardo consegue alavancar seu conhecimento profundo do processo de aplicação do MBA e dos diferentes perfis das escolas para orientar o candidato na escolha do programa que mais se adeque aos seus objetivos e expectativas. Recomendo fortemente toda equipe do MBA Empresarial para qualquer profissional considerando um mestrado no exterior.
