If your goal is a top MBA, you should have a combination Major/Minor that includes one quantitative (Statistics is great, but Math, Physics, Engineering, CS, all work) and one “traditional Liberal Arts” outside of the previous ones, such as History, Philosophy, Classics, a Foreign Language, Economics…
MBA classes include all kinds of majors and Business majors are a minority, whereas they often make up a majority of applicants, ie., your odds are minuscule if you’re not a Wharton/Stern/Babson/Mendoza graduate, whereas any strong major in other subjects has a better shot.
Stanford separates Business Majors from others, and you’ll notice they form only 14% of the total; Harvard lumps business majors with economics, which together form a large group, but the split falls toward economics. Penn has the largest group of business majors (27%) and it’s still quite a minority considering the percentage of applicants.
