In my experience if you don't have the intellectual aptitude and work ethic for the sciences or engineering, you switch to economics which is easier, and if you can't handle economics, you major in business.  I might exclude some accounting and finance degrees in making that statement.  There are a lot of weak undergraduate business degrees.  Does not have to do with whether it is hard to be admitted into the business school -- that is just supply and demand.  Has to do with how hard it is to get through the major.[/quote]

Or there are plenty of people with just no interest in STEM, hard as that may be for you to believe.[/quote]

There are a lot of people interested in business because they have no idea what the hell to do with their career and vaguely know that “business” is what you go into.

There’s also a lot of washed out and underprepared engineering students who end up in business, or jaded engineers who know the careers ends with management who just switch to business cause it’s easier.
STEM programs have something near a 30-50% attrition rated so no kidding they choose the easiest backup major.[/quote]

At any well-regarded business school, business is usually the kids’ first choice. Often hard to get in if not. Direct admission is common.[/quote]
