What generally strengthens a Business Administration application

Business and economics programs generally value strong quantitative coursework (math through at least pre-calculus, and statistics where offered) alongside evidence of initiative — a student-run club, a part-time job with real responsibility, an internship, or a small entrepreneurial project. Some universities admit directly into a named business school with its own, more selective application, separate from general admission to the university — confirm which model a target school uses before you apply.
