Having gone through a rigorous engineering program, I know how tough it is to get a great job in the business world with a sub-3.5 GPA.

Is this the same deal for MBAs? I’m speaking on hypothetical terms here. But say Chicago GSB (Full Cost) vs. Penn State Smeal (with money and low tuition cost), is it better to be the top 10% at Smeal or the bottom 10% at Chicago? in terms of recruitment.
