<p>There were several engineers in my MBA class, and I know many Cornell engineering grads who went on to careers in finance and who received MBAs from top schools (most of the people I am thinking of were OR/IE at Cornell). I know that the OR/IE majors were heavily recruited by bulge bracket investment banks for analyst programs (at least they were several years ago). I assume the same would be true for engineers from other unversities.</p>
<p>thanks a lot guys for the views.</p>
<p>Will B-Schools take into accnt Research experience while doing under-graduation or does it have to be B-related?</p>
<p>OR/IE majors?</p>
<p>Sorry, could the terms be clarified?</p>

<p>I could just as easily ask you where's Kellogg? Where's Chicago? Where's Columbia?</p>
<p>It is true you can get into a top MBA with just a couple years experience. My S told me recently his friend and fellow CMU grad (CS major with a masters, same as my S but a year ahead) is going to MIT (also accepted Northwestern) this fall for MBA. He's worked as technology analyst at NYC bank for those 2 yrs since graduation, not ibanking. Under 3.5.</p>
<p>sakky,</p>
<p>You should know by now that Wharton is the only B-school in America.</p>
<p>OR/IE - operations research and industrial enginnering. I think that Cornell has now changed the name of the major to Operations Research and Engineering.</p>
