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.

  • The Business MBA has been with me at very important moments in my life. Our relationship began when I participated in the selection process for the Itaú internship program. The professionalism impressed me, although they made the mistake of approving me in the process!: ) Afterwards, MBA Empresarial helped me in another very important stage: the MBA. I was approved in the 4 schools that I applied to on the first round and the advice and support of Ricardo were fundamental. With so much help, I built a relationship of friendship and affection that transpires whenever we meet. Thanks for everything!

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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!

  • MBA Empresarial was fundamental in my acceptance in to the MBA program at the University of California, Berkeley. It helped me identify the school profile that best suited my expectations, considering my score, work experience, and my long-term goals. MBA Empresarial also helped me define strategies and identify elements in my life history that would serve as a basis for addressing the matters of schools. When I think of MBA Empresarial, I think of a team that, besides having been key to my acceptance into 5 universities, played a very important role for my self-knowledge. The team taught me to have resilience and focus in a time of great pressure. I am very grateful to MBA Empresarial and all of its team.

  • When my wife and I decided to apply together for an MBA course in the United States we focused on the best schools and therefore went after the best person to assist us in the process. From the first meeting Ricardo sought to know in detail our profile, along with what we were sought for our career after the MBA. By knowing in detail the best schools in the world, Ricardo gave us some options that fit perfectly in our profile. From there he was able to extract details about our careers and personal life that enriched our application and helped us get accepted into several schools. Among the various options we decided to go to Tuck and could not have made a better choice. Ricardo was and continues to be a great contributor to the successes we had in our career.
