Admissions Consulting

Know the opinion from those who have already hired

• Those who have studied at one of the best universities and business schools in the world have surely heard several times: "those were the best two years of my life" or "one of my MBA colleagues was appointed CEO"! Because of this I'm not surprised with the fact that my best friends have studied with me at Wharton and that Sundar Pichai, Wharton Grad 2002, has been named CEO of Google. Whether from personal experience or professional perspective, one of the critical factors to be accepted into a top school is self-knowledge to know "what matters most to you, and why?" (Classic Stanford question)! And it was precisely in this aspect that MBA Empresarial made all the difference for me. Ricardo Betti, the best MBA coach in my opinion, made me know myself more as a human being, be proud of my achievements, and know what made me the most difference as a candidate. Coaching is not telling you what you should write in applications, but rather, asking the questions and reflections that lead the candidate to make the decisions and the most appropriate choices. I was very happy and proud when I saw that Ricardo wrote a chapter in the book "Vale a Pena" telling my story. I have no doubt that this story would have been different had it not been for MBA Empresarial. After years of financial market experience with treasury, asset management, investor relations and equity research, I am currently working with HR talent from a large bank, and my tip for anyone who wants to pursue their MBA in one of the world's top business schools is to count on the support of MBA Empresarial!

• Ricardo is simply exceptional and was fundamental to my preparation for the MBA. The job is much more than an orientation, but rather a coaching and a deep preparation to reconcile profiles, opportunities and chances of success. The work was done in a highly customized way to analyze, from my options, which schools would be the most compatible with my profile and which ones I would have a higher chance of getting into. With this definition, we set out to prepare the applications per se, with a valuable orientation, from those who really know the ins and outs of each process. Ricardo's inputs were fundamental to my success and today, 22 years after this work, I consider him a friend who is always present and whom I wish all of the achievements that he seeks.

• 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!

• 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!

• The MBA was a transformative experience: I had the opportunity to study in one of the best business schools in the world, to learn important tools for executive life, and to meet incredible people with diverse backgrounds and nationalities. This experience was only possible thanks to the support received from MBA Empresarial. From the decision to apply to the conversations that explored my life history, I had full support, especially from Ricardo Betti, who directed me through an interesting path of self-knowledge, extracting my best in the application. I had the great pleasure of being accepted into 6 internationally renowned schools and I counted on the support of Ricardo for the choice of the school that would best fit my profile, as well as orientations to make the most of my course. Today I have a degree from Columbia and I feel completely accomplished professionally! Thank you Ricardo and the MBA Empresarial Team for the immense help during one of the most important and enjoyable journeys of my life!

• 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.
