<p>I've heard that business schools don't necessarily like for applicants to have majored in economics, finance, or business their undergradute years. If that's the case, would it be better to major in science or engineering?</p>
<p>I understand there is no "correct" formula to get into business school and that there are a variety of other (perhaps more important) factors like grades, experience, etc., I would just like to know if one option could be better than the other.</p>

<p>Huge discrepancy relative to Berk in terms of humanity.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t say that a business degree would be adverse, but a double major would set you apart from the rest of the stock (along with considerable work experience.)</p>
<p>Hsu - That’s very interesting, I always got the vibe that humanities/social sciences majors were more likely to go to law school.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone!</p>
