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.

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.

  • MBA Empresarial helped me a lot in the application process for my MBA. The role of counseling was fundamental so that I could know how to best expose my strengths and discover my differentials in things I would not have seen by myself. The role of the MBA was fundamental in my admission and they have always been there for me even after we have finished this process. I felt in them the perfect balance between professionalism and at the same time the proximity necessary to assist me in this.

  • 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
  • The MBA was a transformative experience: I had the opportunity to study in one of the best business schools in the world, to learn important tools for executive life, and to meet incredible people with diverse backgrounds and nationalities. This experience was only possible thanks to the support received from MBA Empresarial. From the decision to apply to the conversations that explored my life history, I had full support, especially from Ricardo Betti, who directed me through an interesting path of self-knowledge, extracting my best in the application. I had the great pleasure of being accepted into 6 internationally renowned schools and I counted on the support of Ricardo for the choice of the school that would best fit my profile, as well as orientations to make the most of my course. Today I have a degree from Columbia and I feel completely accomplished professionally! Thank you Ricardo and the MBA Empresarial Team for the immense help during one of the most important and enjoyable journeys of my life!

  • MBA Empresarial was part of 2 special moments in my career. The first one was the acceptance into MIT. When I arrived at MBA Empresarial, I had so many doubts about what to do and how to do that I did not know where to start ... Ricardo Betti, with his knowledge and guidance, was essential to get me on the right (and more efficient) path that resulted in acceptance - one of the moments I remember most fondly in my career! The other moment was the time I worked as an Associate in MBA Empresarial itself, in MBA Counseling. It was 2 years of great learning, and I especially remember the very friendly environment of the company, with people who are willing, with initiative, acting in a collaborative environment. Without a doubt an enriching period from a professional and personal point of view.

  • 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.
