Is your major meaningless at a M7 MBA program?

I have been wondering for a while if it matters much at all if your MBA is in finance when you're at a M7 program. I would think it would probably only matter for the more finance intensive industries like AM, HF, etc. I know some people with entrepreneurship, management, marketing, etc. that had no problem getting in post mba ib and mc. I also think it matters even less if you come from a finance/accounting undergrad and have work experience in either.

Let's see....

Is your major important in a program where academics are meaningless?

I'll let you figure this one out all by yourself.

If you don't know who the sucker is at the table, it's you.
 

Doesn't really matter, but can help you build a certain brand (e.g. you want to do life sciences work in consulting, so you can point to your healthcare major to help build the argument of why you should be staffed).
