Yes, the elite programs (ex. Harvard, Wharton, Stanford) are tremendously competitive. They want the full package of GPA, LORs, work experience, GMAT, essay etc. While some slack might be given for an engineering major at a tough school, it is likely that a GPA under 3.0 could be an issue. If he does choose to pursue a MBA then just like college admissions it would be wise to apply to a group of reach, match, and safety schools and see how things play out.
