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

  • The MBA Empresarial is the right consultancy for professionals seeking a first-rate MBA outside of Brazil. The application process is very different from that which is experienced with the local schools and makes the candidate immerse into himself/herself, exponentially increasing his/her degree of self-knowledge, and evaluate his/her past, present and future professional development process. Ricardo Betti can help candidates see their strengths and weaknesses, which schools fit into their personal and professional goals, and how an MBA abroad can bring a return.

  • 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!

  • 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!
    Carolina Cardoso de Almeida, MBA INSEAD ‘16 Director of Operations at EF Education First, Lucerne, Switzerland
  • 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 !!!!

  • Ricardo helped me a lot when I was applying for my MBA in 1990. His knowledge of the process and the important points to be emphasized, as well as the indication of the best available service providers, was very important to the success of my application. He is undoubtedly the main reference in career coaching geared towards those who want to do a master's degree abroad. I have been recommending his work to friends and the feedback has always been very positive.

  • 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.
