<p>So let's say that you want to major in engineering and get an MBA afterwards from a top school, and eventually pursue consulting, I was wondering how hard it would be to get into a top MBA school. I've heard that MBA is primarily based on work experience and GMAT scores, and while you will be adequately (hopefully) prepared for the GMAT due to the intense nature of engineering, what type of work experience would you need to get into a top MBA field by majoring in engineering? Many MBAs from Wharton, I hear, have internships at MBB and such, but because engineering deflates your GPA greatly, and the MBB people still want a high GPA of like 3.8 or whatever even though you're in engineering, what if you can't get an internship like that, but have a high enough GPA to work for a prestigious engineering firm? Would working for a great engineering company be decent work experience, or would the MBA schools mostly want business ECs? Thus, my overall question is, if you don't get into MBB right out of undergrad, is it still possible to get into a top MBAwith an engineering degree, and no superb business ECs, but superb engineering ECs?</p>

<p>Not sure what your definition of "superb" is but if it's within the range of how Webster's dictionary defines it, the answer is "yes".</p>
<p>I mean obtaining one of those really coveted business internships (i.e. Goldman Sachs) for biz, or perhaps working at microsoft, intel, etc. for engineering.</p>
