The fact/statistic about our applicant pool this week is undergraduate major listed on the application. 50 majors fit into what I would call “standard categories” while number 4 is the “other” category.
Category of undergraduate major is not particularly tied in any way to how we view an application. If I would have applied to SIPA I would have been in the 7 slot, and my minor was number 3 . . . perhaps another reason I should have chosen SIPA over B school =)
