Being old school, I myself don't get it when I meet a student and they are majoring in "business."  Just always seemed to me that undergrad years are the perfect time and opportunity to expand and explore your knowledge in different directions.  (When I later went back for an MBA, the business majors had a head start in the fundamental accounting and finance courses, but that was about it.)

Maybe the high point of my years at the GSB was when I managed to exempt from financial accounting, based on my one financial accounting class at SJSU. A friend of mine, with his CPA, had to take the class...

I’d like to know what the admissions percentages for Stanford and the Ivies would be if kids these days applied to three or four schools (as most of us did back in the day) rather than the dozen or so that seems to be the usual now.
