[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a foreign language/poli sci double major but I had a year of calc and took micro/macro econ undergrad at my SLAC. I worked in consulting for two years and studied for the GMAT and got a very high score. No problem getting into top business schools, and I think its still the same--they look at GMAT score, undergrad GPA, and if you have some work history. It is very quantitative, though, so even if your kid doesn't take a lot of quantitative classes in college, they have to have quant ability/willingness. If they do take them in college, hopefully they like them and do well. [/quote]

I really appreciate all of the helpful responses! This is how things played out when I was in college in the 90s, but it seemed there were many more social science/humanities majors in my day, versus now stem majors are predominant and more quant focused majors have developed that didn’t exist then so mba programs now have their pick of business, engineering and other quant focused majors. So I wondered if the barrier to entry in quant programs like mba’s had shifted for the humanities majors. DS did take macro/micro and has credit thru calc 2 due to a 5 on bc calc ap, although by the time he applies to a grad school/takes whatever stabdardized test is required, that math will be 6 plus years outdated, ha!

Anyway, dc isn’t planning to apply for an mba, if at all, until he’s worked for a few years. But I feel better after reading these responses in advising him that he won’t be auto eliminated due to college major, at least.
