I think you may have been misinformed. I am not sure about BBB , but quite a no. of ABB students make their way into NUS business faculty.
Business is one of the faculty where the students are not all triple 'A's, given that my associate who got ACC also manage to get in, though his method was quite unorthodox. After appealing his way into NTU, he brought the letter of acceptance from NTU to NUS for his interview and manage to argue his way in, though I will not encourage anyone here to do something like this.

The thing is, the grade profile is based on sucessful applicants hence it would not be clear did those successful appeal cases's grade profile was included as well.
At this point, even so meeting the grade profile does not mean able to secure the place

I don't know, people study business for a myriad of reasons, why should we question them? Even if it is for glamour or the money, we are here just advising OP on how to get into a BBA, not to go into lengthened debates about his raison d'etre. And if your information is correct, which by the by I highly doubt so, that students need AAA to enter business, then of course students would be drawn to a more entry-rigorous course.
I noticed teenagers these days many shun the courses like engineering because of some image that is not totally true..
sometimes for all you may know, years down e road you might find out passion but by then it's too late

Yeah, if you want to do a BBA in the likes of Wharton, Sloane, Haas, Tuck or the Havard-Yale-Princeton universities, of course you need straight As. If we are considering entry to local business degrees, then BBB would suffice as an average grade. I have it on very good information.
if you want to insist I can show you

Are you talking about the dumping ground image for engineering in local unis? I think you are correct. My friends who are passionate about engineering had already decided to go overseas for an engineering degree instead of staying in Singapore. The trouble is with the image as you rightly say. Engineering in NUS has always been seen as a back-up (maybe not electrical engineering) if you do less than expected for A levels. Whether or not, that stereotype is true, I know not, for I am an arts student - and my back up is not engineering.
But thing is, there need to be engineers in Singapore but they're not so recongised than e biz guys. That's e issue of where e fame goes.
one thing to take note, what's going on in uni is also going on in poly admission exercises.
but this recession might have shifted the demograph
