Business majors get priority when registering for business classes, so it will be tough to get some of the popular classes. Some professors wont take any non business majors because they want to prioritize seats for business majors. You could still take some classes of course, but it would be tough. I know a couple people double majoring in Econ/Business, but you would need to apply to Haas first in order to do that. Also when recruiting for internships Haas majors get more resources and opportunities.
GPA looks fine and EC’s look good, it would probably come down to the personal statement. I know some people who go tin with 3.6s so I wouldnt worry too much about your GPA, I had a 3.93 and got in so you’re probably fine.
