So I’ve heard that people who earn a B.A. in political science are top candidates for admission into MBA programs.



You heard wrong. As said above by Wildflower, your major matters little. What really matters is the quality of work experience you have, and to a lesser extent, your grades and your GMAT score. A poli-sci grad who gets a great job that allows him to obtain strong management experience is a strong candidate. A poli-sci job who ends up stocking shelves at the mall will be a poor candidate. Don’t laugh. I actually know one poli-sci graduate who is doing this.
