In general, DoD labs have excellent reputations. Just start looking them up and you'll see what I'm talking about. Also, to put things in perspective for you, I've never heard of Sandia National Labs before but I've heard of several of the SMART SFs. I'm an aerospace engineering student working on a...

Thanks! That certainly lifts the spirits. Good luck to you, too.

Wondering...how many applicants there are to the aerospace engineering field, and have any been contacted? I am a 4th year Aerospace Engineering major working on a blended BS+MS focusing on propulsion and minor in Physics with a GPA of 3.81. I come with some research experience (and the promise of ...
