This is my first summer in college (Next fall is going to be my second fall). I have 4 more semesters to go (2 years) to graduate with a Mechanical engineering degree. One problem I have is that I haven't done any reasearch/internships yet and I want to go to a good grad school for engineering.
I could stay in college one more year (4 years total) and get a dual degree in Aersopace and Mechanical engineering and this will probably give me one more summer to do an REU or something. I could also MAYBE get a minor in math or physics if I stay one more year in college. If I just get a Mechanical engineering degree and grauduate in 2 years, I'll be 20 when I graduate.
So far, I have a 4.0 but I don't know if that will hold up. Do grad schools care more about graduating early with good grades or getting more than one degree or does it even matter with them? Which option do you think I should do? BTW, I heard that the Aerospace degree in my college was useless, but that was only from one person.
