Job With the FBI/CIA for MBA Admissions

Graduate School Business School - MBA

<p>After receiving an undergraduate degree in business, preferrably accounting, would a job with highly respected branches of the government, FBI and CIA look better than a job with a big firm when applying for an MBA program?</p>

<p>Just curious.</p>

<p>I wouldn’t say the FBI and CIA are very highly respected at this point in time :)</p>

<p>“I wouldn’t say the FBI and CIA are very highly respected at this point in time” </p>

<p>Thats incorrect. I would say jobs with gov’t agencies like the FBI/CIA, and military experience are HIGHLY respected in elite b-school admissions. Example: A cousin of mine spent a 2 years in the navy after undergrad, he got into MIT"s b-school, and his stats for that school were also a bit below average. Clearly, being able to operate a nuclear sub. has a little bit more of a WOW factor than being an excel ape at some investment bank.</p>
