[i]most Ivy League schools do not offer undergrad business.[/i]

business is a selective major at some schools, but not at others.

I don't think you are familiar with this area.  UPenn, Cornell, Brown offer businsee curriculum, so that's 3 out of 8 ivies.

When schools have undergrad prorams, they are usually more selective and ... it's very hard to change into business program later.

I was a business professor at multiple Ivy League and state universities.  Princeton lacks a business school, but has economics adjacent to operations research.  I would choose that over any undergrad business program.  I know an Emory professor whose kid wanted to go to Duke, even though Emory would have been free.  Ouch!

If you only choose Penn or UVA for business, then you might be disappointed if you don't into Wharton or McIntire.

Professors often try to send their kids to selective liberal arts colleges.[/quote]

Uh... yes Princeton as well as Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth,  are those 5 ivies that don't have undergrad Business.
Econ is usually it.  Yes, econ at Princeton, Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Duke, UChicago etc. are great.
So are Upenn Wharton, Cornell Dyson, MIT Sloan, Berkely Hass, Georgetown McDough, etc.

They are just different OPTIONS and equally target programs.  Liberal arts colleges are also options.
Your choice or your friend's choice is not universally applicable to everyone in the world.
As I said multiple times, UPenn Wharton > UPenn Econ.
However you can say Harvard Econ = UPenn Wharton.
They are options to people.  Your preference to Econ or liberal art college doesn't mean much to other people or the employers.
