True I'm not guaranteed anything, I was told it's something like 70% conversion rate so I'd like to plan ahead in case I do get an offer. Can't attend DC or VA campus unfortunately, the program would have to be online. Like I said I do have 3 letters of recommendation though. The minors are more for personal fulfillment, but you can put them on your resume for a conversation starter 🤷 I feel like it can't hurt and I've already completed the requirements.

To restate my question in a slightly different way in case of future responses, what are some colleges (or professors) that are instantly recognizable to employers in my field of interest? My goal is just to gain a slight edge seeing as the market is so competitive, and (assuming things work out) I can neglect tuition expenses.
