MBA right after CS

-----------------------------------

So after much reconsilation, I decide on taking computer science program at waterloo. After trolling around waterloo webpage, I came across the double degree for computer science and business administration. I did a little reseah and found that the program is new. The specific requirements for the program is the same as Computer science, but its too late to change now. So, I was wondering if i can get advice if I should pursue an MBA right after my compsci degree?  A

Talking to teachers and doing more research online tells me that an MBA will help me in my career in IT and help secure a managerial position.While I want to work in IT, I also want to be one of the top.

DD(CS) had ten times as many applicants as positions this year. It was very hard to get into.

MBA programs typically like you to have a couple of years of work experience before starting. I am not sure if co-op counts. They are also quite expensive.

You have plenty of time to make up your mind about an MBA or other paths after graduation.

I had a few questions about the BBA/BMath DD program. I didn't apply to this program directly and got an alternate offer into it. So how do I go about enrolling into it? I thought you had to apply to both universities to get in, but  I only applied to waterloo. Also from where do  I choose my first year courses?
