I would not worry about Honors unless the OP is interested in Honors.

Honors programs are all created equally. My son pursued his but not Purdue’s as an example.

Honors can certainly enhance an experience if it’s right for the student.

But if preferred a school and dudnt have Honors there, I would still choose that one over another with Honors.

Best I can tell, Honors does not impact placement. In fact my son noted there’s not even a place to enter it on online job apps.

So utilize Honors because it’s right for you, not to place one school above another.

Here is job data …couldn’t load Wisc but both Purdue and UMD seem quite similar.
