A 3.9 in Finance/Humanities major or a 3.7 in STEM Double major
I am wondering from an MBA application standpoint (To top programs like HSW). Which one is more impressive? A 3.9 in Finance/Humanities single major or a 3.7 in STEM (like Math and Computer Science) Double major (Assume same GMAT and similar leadership experiences). I feel like schools don't really put much emphasis on the rigorousness of your undergrad major or program because it's hard to evaluate how hard a program really is. Any thoughts?
Considering you're from a school which is at least decently regarded for STEM majors, the stem double major is definitely more impressive.
Average GPA of HBS is like 3.79. So 3.7 might be a bit low?
The fact that you're a stem major will be accounted for. You won't be at a disadvantage.
Spot on. Finance isn’t a hard subject but most if not all top Finance programs engage in serious grade deflation, be it Wharton or Stern or Sloan...
