pre-business folks should have 3.5+ overall and at least a 3.2-3.3 pre-bus pre-req GPA (financial accounting, DSci, and Econ I suppose). You get the 3.5+ (mean is apparently 3.6) by working hard in medium/hard classes or you just do like a significant amount (this is me sugarcoating for “most”) of other pre-bus students by taking easy GER courses and inflating/buffering your grades while taking b-school pre-reqs which grade on a curve (and may thus lower the chance of an A grade). Like most professional schools, it is a numbers game. The goal is to just play the game to get in, even if you have to kind of do lackluster non business oriented courses while in ECAS. If you end up on the low end of the GPA spectrum, you can do something cool EC wise that may help, but as baseballfan86 suggests, it should not be the stereotypical activities that pre-BBA students do. Be more creative.
