Non-science/math major

by Ludacrispat26 » Tue Oct 20, 2009 1:00 pm
Hi,

I was wondering if applying to business school straight out of college is more difficult for someone with a social science degree (I'm a history major).

Thanks so much!

Hi and thanks for your question. I'm not sure which schools you're applying to, but in general the top schools like to see significant work experience and rarely take candidates with less than 2 years of full time work experience. I don't think it's the major itself that matters as much as any work experience you've gained in summers and internships.

Hope that helps.
