How screwed are non-finance majors in top business schools?

Specifically, Georgetown and Notre Dame only admit to major and it's pretty difficult to switch out to finance if you're in another major, so how difficult would be for a, say, management major to recruit for IB?

Would I be grilled as to why not finance? Would an acceptable explanation be "oh initially when I first transferred out of another school I was interested in operations management but now I like IB and wasn't permitted by the department to switch out"???
