BYU-Provo is selective overall. The website below will give you the idea. "According to BYU, students admitted as freshmen in 2017 had an average GPA of 3.86, an average ACT of 29.5 and an average SAT of 1300." BYU also looks at other factors including the mandatory ecclesiastic endorsement for church members. Graduation from seminary is favored. I don't know for sure, but being an early return missionary for other than health issues likely would be a strike against a student.

There was a recent post that addressed job prospects for newly graduated engineers. To sum it up, engineering students need to pay attention to their grades and resumes just like any other student. They need to have internships and evidence of curiosity and innovation through projects and hobbies. You just can't graduate with a B.S. and expect a job to fall in your lap.
