It’s not unusual for a specific program or school within a university to be more popular, and thus more competetive. I suspect this is the case with Business at FU. The COB is ranked at 27 by Business Week, the University is ranked in the low sixties by USNWR … so I’d guess more kids are trying to get into the business school than they have room for … so does that make it more difficult - sure!

As with any highly ranked program, the COB can select the best and brightest from an even more narrow pool. That doesn’t mean the best and brightest of FU are all in COB, just that among those seeking an undergrad degree in business it’s pretty competetive. And it should be.

As an u.g business school graduate myself, I might suggest that getting a Liberal Arts u.g. degree and an MBA may indeed be a better course anyway. But as ever, what matters is what fits your situation best.

Good luck.
