Hi guys,
I was writing one of my essays and I wanted some advise from you folks in the MBA specialization area of the essay. I am a bit fuzzy in this area, hence the question. Firstly a bit about myself: I come from an engineering background and am presently in an IT service company. My vertical is insurance (property insurance to be exact) and I have a good understanding of this domain since I have been working for insurance clients for the past three years now. I want to do a MBA in general management with a focus on finance - that is to say, I don't want my MBA to be an all and out finance MBA but rather a general management MBA with a larger number of finance related subjects (as compared to other fields).
Question: Is such a field even possible? If yes, given my background, is it credible enough to be considered during the application process? Thirdly, when I am putting this in my essay, would it be enough to simply put it as "general management with a focus on finance" or would this be too ambiguous?
Thanks!

PS: In case, I have posted this question in the wrong forum, could you please tell me where this is to be posted? Or else, could you move it on my behalf? Thanks!

General management and Finance are different concentrations. Depending upon the school you can choose to focus on one or many; but keep in mind that you got to choose the subjects with the limit of allowed electives. Said that, general management covers finance to a certain extent and vice versa. If you are really interested in Finance, just go for it. I would recommend researching the schools first to find out what level of flexibility they give you on curriculum, and then craft the esssays accordingly.
