When applying to an MBA, does a particular academic or professional background give me any advantage during the admission process?
Not really. Universities seek students from a wide variety of backgrounds. Diversity in all forms (academic, professional, cultural, ethnic, gender, geographic, socioeconomic, etc.) is an important component of all MBA programs. However, if your background is in any business related area, you will find it easier during the program, whist if you have studied subjects like art or music you may find it a little more difficult.
