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!

• 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.

• The MBA at Stanford was one of the most important and transformative experiences of my life. There I had access to tools, people and opportunities that enabled me to re-signify my career and align it with my life purpose. Ricardo and team were fundamental at this stage, understanding my profile, helping me choose which schools fit into what I was looking for and guiding me in the application process.
  A work that is very serious, deep and personalized, which has been transformed into a partnership for life! I am forever grateful!

• MBA Empresarial was fundamental in my acceptance in to the MBA program at the University of California, Berkeley. It helped me identify the school profile that best suited my expectations, considering my score, work experience, and my long-term goals. MBA Empresarial also helped me define strategies and identify elements in my life history that would serve as a basis for addressing the matters of schools. When I think of MBA Empresarial, I think of a team that, besides having been key to my acceptance into 5 universities, played a very important role for my self-knowledge. The team taught me to have resilience and focus in a time of great pressure. I am very grateful to MBA Empresarial and all of its team.

• I will always be very grateful to the business MBA, and especially to Professor Ricardo Betti, for the extraordinary work done during my candidatures to the best business schools in the world. I remember that in my first conversation with Ricardo it was clear the great challenge that we would have ahead of us. I practically did not speak any English, did not have an immaculate school record, and already had more professional experience than was recommended by the schools themselves. MBA Empresarial accepted the challenge and the outcome of the program developed by them could not have been better. At the end of the preparation I attained 720 points in the GMAT and an offer from the London Business School, among others.

• 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.
