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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Doing an MBA outside of Brazil can be one of the most important decisions in a person's life. This decision will certainly change the way you look at work-related activities as well as your future decisions in the course of your life. The investment in time and money is high, but certainly will payback not only financially, but also for the networking and mainly for the rich experience of life outside Brazil. The correct search for a professional counseling of people who know the schools outside Brazil and also the knowledge of how to prepare correctly for the TOEFL, GMAT and the correct way to finalize an application, will be determining factors in the making the correct choice of the best school for your profile and for your future goals. The MBA Empresarial, led by Ricardo Betti, MBA from MIT, certainly offers the best preparation in Brazil so that you can get it right with your school and attain the best scores in the admission exams. This investment will certainly be of
    great value for you to properly start this marathon called an MBA.

  • 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.

  • Ricardo Betti is one of the pioneers in MBA counseling in Brazil. Already in 1987, when I did my "applications" for the MBA, he guided me and eight other colleagues from the same company. As a result, all of us got into top ten schools of the USA: Stanford, MIT, Wharton, Chicago, etc. I have been following the MBA's work ever since, through people nominated by either me or the company that I was director of for many years. The standard is the same: high acceptance rate in the best schools of the USA and Europe.
