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.
    Frederico Mesnik, MBA London Business School ‘97 Managing Director at Porto Capital S/A
  • 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.

  • Getting into a good school is great. Entering the school of your dreams is wonderful. But it takes work, it takes time, it consumes energy. You compete with a lot of good people and you need to stand out. It's not easy. But with the Business MBA, you optimize your preparation and you gain time and energy to focus on that which will really make a difference, your story. It's worth it because you get a head start and you arrive ahead. Counting on MBA Empresarial is a super differentiator.
    Romilson Bastos Filho, MBA Kellogg ‘03 Marketing Communication, Human Resources and Sustainability Director at OKI Brazil
  • 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.
    Renato Mota, London Business School – MiFFT ‘14 Associate at Sequoia Investment Management Company Limited
  • 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!
    Rodolfo Henrique Fischer, MBA MIT ‘90 Financial Markets Executive
  • MBA Empresarial counseling changed my life. We all have many success stories to tell. But which ones do we tell to the school of your dreams? And how do we tell it? This is a journey, above all, of introspection, and having a mentor to guide you makes a huge difference. The sessions at MBA helped me realize a dream that opened doors so that I could accomplish others.
