Heyo. I just wanted to share my two cents with you guys. I am applying as a transfer student but I got married really early. My husband graduated from the Cornell University School of Engineering last May, and since he switched majors halfway through and didn’t have too many internships, he’s honestly having a rough time finding a job that will pay him what you’d expect from his background (he’s working in low level IT right now). Since I do a fair bit of his resume sending, I’ve really developed the opinion that employers care MUCH more about what you do while you’re in college than they care about where you got your degree. I’m not saying a Brandeis degree won’t help, but if we don’t get in then lets just make the most of our opportunities elsewhere and we’ll do just fine.
