<p>My friend wants to major in sociology because he thinks that the sociology major is much easier than economics. He told me that he would rather get a higher gpa and major in sociology than get a lower gpa if he were in economics. He said that with a higher GPA, it is much easier to get into graduate school for a MBA. I told him i remembered reading somewhere on this website that said graduate schools don't look kindly upon sociology majors and only a few get in. Can someone clarify this for me so I can go tell my friend because i dont want him to think that he will get into graduate school just because he has a higher GPA.</p>
<p>can anyone answer this??</p>
<p>you can reassure him that college gpa carries very little weight in MBA admissions. It's primarily a multitude of other factors, but due to the varied and unpredictable ages of prospective applicants, it cannot really be a legitimate success prediction. go to the business school admissions forum to find out some more.</p>

<p>If he's interested in management or marketing, some background in sociology would be quite helpful.</p>
