Graduate School

<p>To get into a top graduate MFE program, is there any major that is viewed as "better" than others? Like math, physics, CS, econ, engineering (any particular discipline better than others)?</p>

<p>Right now, I'm in biomedical engineering, but I was wondering how much that degree might inhibit my ability to get into Haas or Columbia for a MFE degree. Also, will future employers care that I was a BME major, instead of something like EE or CS?</p>

<p>I think any math / science / engineering degree that has a lot of math, especially the higher-level ones are considered better. Any finance, statistics, economics would be good too, but i'd still say, math is the most important part.</p>

<p>I agree with tuna846 that math/CS is probably the most useful. Engineering or physics can be pretty good too.</p>
