<p>The schools with top MBA programs, like Harvard, Stanford, Dartmouth, Northwestern, and Chicago, don't even have undergrad b-school.</p>
<p>They always talk about the importance of liberal arts education and breadth of knowledge.</p>
<p>So... is it a disadvantage to attend undergrad b-school when it comes to MBA admission?</p>
<p>Say..</p>
<p>Will NYU Stern or UMich Ross or UCB Haas students have difficut time getting into those MBA schools like Harvard, Stanford, Tuck, and Kellogg?</p>
<p>anyone?~~~~~~~</p>
<p>Disadvantage to go to a top undergrad business school? ABSOLUTELY NOT.</p>
<p>it's not a disadvantage, but if you want to go to an MBA program, you might have a better time coming from an undergraduate program not as a business major or from a different school. </p>
<p>it's the whole diversity mentality- similar to colleges. </p>
<p>best advice: do what you like. go for what you want. figure that out and do that. if you like something you'll do well in it and if you do well in it chances are you'll get into a good MBA program no matter what your major was. </p>
<p>if you want to work out of undergrad then a b-school program might be the better option. you don't always have to get an MBA to land top jobs (Wharton's undergrad program- as an example- i think 2/3 of their kids never go back to school to get an MBA and i think the numbers are similar at the other top ugrad b-schools)</p>
<p>No - your work experience and the demonstration of potential greatness is what matters most. For example, if one took random, high quality jobs where he/she showed versatility and quick-learning would be more important.</p>
<p>That's why you see a lot of people with jobs that were not related to their major (and they likely excelled despite this).</p>
