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

  • Fifteen years ago, when I made the decision to do an MBA abroad, I understood the extent and impact that this decision would have on my professional life. In that way, I knew that I needed to enter a first-rate school and I looked for the best professionals to support me in this project. The first name that was recommended to me was that of Ricardo Betti, and today, looking back, I recognize how important this work was for the success of this challenge. As an entrepreneur and dental surgeon, my profile had particularities that could be an advantage or a disadvantage, depending on how this background difference was presented. At this point, Ricardo's experience and competence placed this difference under the right prism, which was definitely decisive for the outcome of this endeavor. I am sure that Ricardo and MBA Empresarial can also contribute in a decisive manner to the candidates for the best business schools, just as it was for me.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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!

  • 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.
