<p>I know people who have gone both routes at MIT – double majors in a technical field and management, and single majors in a technical field who worked for a few years and are now going back to Sloan or HBS for MBAs. My subjective feeling is that the latter group has been more successful, but my numbers are fairly small.</p>
<p>You might want to check out the [graduating</a> student surveys](<a href=“http://web.mit.edu/career/www/infostats/graduation.html]graduating”>http://web.mit.edu/career/www/infostats/graduation.html) for the past few years to see where students have ended up. This data set doesn’t identify double majors, but it is useful nonetheless.</p>
