To underscore what Gibonius said earlier, UVA's engineering school was harder to get into than MIT the year applied due to the small number of places available. I got into MIT but did not go but I was wait-listed at UVA's engineering school so I went to UVA anyway, later qualified but went to the undergrad business school anyway. I did manage to get a minor in computer science from the engineering school.
What I think some overlook or don't realize until later is that so many students like myself change majors once they get in. I think those who specialize which is now even possible in high school can find themselves making tough decisions if they change their mind later. It seems that a mix of classic liberal arts training plus some business specialization is a pretty good combination based on what I have seen.
