Probably yes. Many of the students in the elite programs already have the few years of work experience, high GMAT scores and great letters of recommendations. However, many elite programs do realize that some of the engineering curriculum (electrical, chemical, nuclear, etc.) are difficult and may accept some engineers at a little lower GPA than the average for that program. Have DS get some great work experience, letters of recommendations and a high GMAT score and hope for the best. Also, admission to a part time program of an elite school is generally a little easier than to the full time program. DS might want to consider an elite part time program.
