I interview college seniors who have finished a business degree and cannot articulate in any meaningful or compelling way why they are interested in working in a business. They went into it to make money, they come out of it intent on making money, and it’s hard to plunge the depths of something that’s two inches deep.

People need a job to live in our society as currently structured, it’s that simple. That was the main point of my post.

To stay on topic for OP, their S should do activities he likes, knowing he needs at least some strong business ECs to create a competitive app for the level of schools he is targeting. Write a good personal statement that does not talk about their activities, and flesh out experience from activities in the business supplements. Lots of schools provide good guidance on their websites and/or in their admission sessions as to how to create a strong app.
