Double major or minor?

Could you have taken just those few ME classes (as opposed to the whole major) and then done research during the academic semester too? Also, requiring more depth is not anecdotal. Most graduate programs state when they look at your application they are looking at your ability to do independent research. If you’re taking additional ME classes to fulfill your major that aren’t relevant to your primary research interest, it stands to reason you’re wasting time you could be spending working with a professor (experience and a better LoR). I said earlier if you can do the double major AND research during the academic semester, not just the summer, go for it.
