<p>Don’t get hung up on getting into Honors engineering. It will be much more meaningful to have internship experience on your resume. (DD was an engineer turned econ major. I was disappointed when she opted to not do econ honors program, which required thesis. In retrospect her job at the IT helpdesk was a much better use of time and effort. That is what helped her land the first job.) </p>
<p>Do you think you can go back to DOT next year? </p>
