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.

  • Ricardo Betti is an ace. With a lot of experience and articulation, he and the MBA team extract the best from each one, taking the MBA candidates to another dimension in their preparation, through a productive program of great reflection and exceptional results. Highly recommend to all.
    Eduardo Marchiori Eckersdorff, MBA Columbia ‘07 Managing Director - Mercer Marsh Benefits & Marsh Consumer
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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
  • 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!
    David Sion Turkie, MBA NYU Stern ‘03 Sales Director at FOX – WARNER
  • 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.
