“An engineering degree from A&M trumps an engineering degree from Tech with Honors. Tons of Aggie engineers in Houston, can’t say the same about Tech.”</p>
<p>There are, I live there. I know alot of tech engineers, not as numerous, but definatly there. Alot work for NASA. I’m leaning toward A&M, they just need to say “Yo, you’re in”. I have alot of friends who got it, but I havn’t heard back yet. 4.42/4.5 GPA with a 1760 SAT just don’t match up.</p>

<p>LMAO @ you thinking that internships make you anything other than a “kid.” BTW, I had a full-time job while in college which paid a post-graduate type salary, but even that is not the same as post-graduate work experience. Sure, there are exceptions of people graduating at an older age with more life lessons learned, but the vast majority of college grads, ages 22 to 25, are still pretty clueless (including those with Masters degrees).</p>
<p>“An engineering degree from A&M trumps an engineering degree from Tech with Honors. Tons of Aggie engineers in Houston, can’t say the same about Tech.” Okay, here’s the pull of Tech and the Honors College for one person, my son as of last week. He has received (and is getting ready to accept) a management training job offer from a Fortune 500 oil field services company based in Houston. He has a business degree and got his initial break from a person on the Honors College staff who knows the lead recruiter from that company and put in a good word for my son. An engineering degree from Tech with Honors will likely open many a door.</p>
