<p>Which is better for MBA school admissions? Course difficulty or better grades in easier courses?</p>
<p>Grades, they're not going to know how difficult any of your courses are. Some classes might sound like blowoff classes but could be very difficult.</p>
<p>What about majors? Do MBA admissions prefer certain majors like engineering over science/liberal arts?</p>
<p>Your major is not very important compared to work experience, which is the single biggest criterion for MBA admissions. In fact, academics as a whole isn't as important as work experience, leadership, and character qualities, which is why the average undergrad GPA's at the top b-schools are not nearly as high as those of law schools and med schools.</p>
