MBA Schools varying alumni?

Graduate School Business School - MBA

<p>Sorry about the topic typo…I was curious to whether a business school would have a preference to an applicant who went to their school as an undergrad (not necessarily the business school tho) for example would A or B have a better shot if both had the same experience?
Applicant A:
GMAT 700
Undergrad: NYU english major </p>

<p>Applicant B:
GMAT 700
Undergrand: St.johns Uni. Tobin Business School Finance Major</p>

<p>All else being equal, as you said, they both get rejected for falsifying their resumes.</p>

<p>haha not really english majors could end up with a finance job…i see it at my internship at JPM</p>

<p>This question is completely pointless. I hope you aren’t basing a decision on the answer to this question.</p>

<p>I think the school you graduated from is one of the least important things they check at business school. 3 key things:

  • Experience. What have you done that you can bring into the class and will add value?
  • Personality. Does your fit with the school you are applying to?
  • Essays. You have to nail the essays.</p>

<p>Well then again there is the GMAT. After all this are taken care of, I don’t think you can find two candidates that are the same for the graduate school to be the differentiator.</p>

<p>Thanks WeAreClyons first person actually give a real answer. I wasn’t basing my decision on this but it actually does matter what school you go to if there was a preference.</p>
