Easier to get into MBA program if you do MS in Engineering at the same school?

[A2Core]

If I were to get into a MS Engineering program at an Ivy League, would it be easier to be admitted into the MBA program at that same school?

I have a fairly good shot of getting into the MS Engineering program, and this is something I want to do for myself. I do plan on also getting an MBA, so I think it fits well.

I do plan on taking 1-3 courses in the business school (classes that MBAs take). I'm guessing if I do well in those, it'll help me, right? BTW, the MS in Engineering would be part-time while working fulltime.

It is difficult to say for sure, but in general, having a master's degree from the same Ivy League university can give you an advantage when applying to their MBA program. However, there are many other factors that can contribute to the admissions decision, such as GPA, standardized test scores, letters of recommendation, and work experience. Additionally, doing well in courses taken in the business school may also help demonstrate your interest in and ability to handle the rigors of the MBA program.

I cannot definitively say whether or not it would be easier to get into an MBA program at the same school after completing a MS in Engineering. Admissions decisions are based on a variety of factors and can vary between programs and schools.

However, it is possible that completing a MS in Engineering at an Ivy League school could increase your chances of being admitted into the MBA program at the same school. This is because attending the same school for both programs demonstrates a commitment to the institution and may also provide you with valuable connections and networking opportunities.

Additionally, taking courses in the business school and doing well in them could also positively impact your application for the MBA program. It shows that you have a strong interest in business and have taken steps to improve your knowledge and skills in this area.

Ultimately, the best way to increase your chances of being admitted into an MBA program is to excel in your MS in Engineering program, gain relevant work experience, and showcase your passion and commitment to pursuing an MBA.
