Do MBA programs look down on finance majors when determining admissions


Do MBA programs look down on finance majors when determining admissions?
Just a quick one, Is it harder to get into a MBA program with a finance major than another one like accounting or marketing? I recently read that it is. I am looking to get get into a middle to top tier school for my MBA and am going to be a junior in college this year. Well, I will be a junior by spring semester credit hour wise because I have taken a lot of summer courses. My current major is finance, and I am still very interested in it, but I have to make a firm decision on which way I want to go very soon. Any help would be appreciated.

MBA programs don't look down on finance majors. They just tend to get more applicants in that specialization since it's a prerequisite for more senior-level positions there than in other fields, which means you have to work harder to stand out. (But that's true of pretty much every undergraduate business major. The people who come from non-business backgrounds have more of an advantage because they bring diversity.)
