He will likely have a relatively more difficult time getting accepted to a top MBA program with no work experience (and hedge funds and some consulting firms only hire from the top programs).

I would encourage him to look into getting a consulting job right out of undergrad, if he doesn’t want to work as an engineer. There are many firms that hire engineering undergrads…can his college career center help?

Then, work a few years in consulting (doensn’t have to be at a tippy top firm, could be CapGemini, or LEK, or even one of the zillions of boutique firms out there) and he will likely have more success when applying to top tier MBA programs.
