• Fifteen years ago, when I made the decision to do an MBA abroad, I understood the extent and impact that this decision would have on my professional life. In that way, I knew that I needed to enter a first-rate school and I looked for the best professionals to support me in this project. The first name that was recommended to me was that of Ricardo Betti, and today, looking back, I recognize how important this work was for the success of this challenge. As an entrepreneur and dental surgeon, my profile had particularities that could be an advantage or a disadvantage, depending on how this background difference was presented. At this point, Ricardo's experience and competence placed this difference under the right prism, which was definitely decisive for the outcome of this endeavor. I am sure that Ricardo and MBA Empresarial can also contribute in a decisive manner to the candidates for the best business schools, just as it was for me.

• 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.

• My Masters abroad experience was fantastic. I believe that I have had a very significant evolution both in the academic and in the personal sense. The challenges I faced in the two years in Chicago have strengthened me, but have also shown me the importance of respecting different cultures and ideas. However, none of this would have been possible without the work of Ricardo Betti. I was very raw when I received the invitation from Itaú to do the MBA abroad. I would not have been accepted by American and European universities, had it not been for Ricardo with his careful training and his precise directions of step-by-step recruitment processes.

• 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.

• 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.

• Ricardo Betti was instrumental in my MBA process and my wife's LLM process. In 2006 I entered the 2-year full-time MBA at the Kellogg School of Management (also having been accepted into 4 other top-10 schools) and in 2007 my wife was accepted into the Law School of Northwestern University. Ricardo helped us throughout the entire process, from the choice of the school ("Matching") to the preparation for the admissions process with the correct positioning of our experiences to maximize our chances in the top-schools. We strongly recommend the services of MBA Empresarial.
