He didn't imply anything regarding "being in it for the money".

As someone with a similar background (product dev/financial engineering), I think I understand the underlying motivation behind OP's question; our odds of admissions are sooo bad (relatively) that we need to tailor the "right" major in our applications to pass though that damn admissions barrier, regardless of where our true interests lie.

My advice (fwiw) would be to look into the tech product management/entrepreneurship/analytics majors, and frame your application around those majors.

disclaimer: this is advice from someone who've yet to land one wait-list (let alone an admit).[/quote]

Thanks friend,

Any advice is welcome. I am still in the research mode. If you have done research, could you please suggest be some good schools for product management, project management, program management, and IT consulting.

I want to know , what will be best MBA major for a guy like me?


Correct me if I am wrong in assessing your thought process.

You are stuck in a relatively low paying job with diminishing scope of career growth. You want MBA to kickstart to a higher level. Presuming you are module lead now, you aspire to jump to level of Program manager/Delivery Manager. Would this be a correct assessment of your situation ?
