@BarrelBlaster - “I thought business undergrads would have an advantage over people who went to an A&S undergrad school, for instance.”

An understandable misconception. It may be true for, say Wharton undergrad (and really only Wharton) but if so it’s because of prestige and networking. Everyone I’ve ever met in the business world has said undergrad business is pretty much irrelevant, and that the deeper communication, analysis, synthesis, and critical thinking skills developed in a more academic (as opposed to pre-professional) undergrad program are far more useful than the watered-down management stuff in an undergrad business program.
