Woah! I didn't know NASA had programs like this. Will definitely be on the lookout.

Awesome! Thanks. I guess I was wrong to assume that all NASA employees/interns are high GPA, top-10 school/Ivy league people.

Do you listen to Howard Stern? Also, I know a lot of Sikhs that come from India and become truck drivers. Tends to be a job that you can get into without any formal education but still make good bucks. Do you have any Sikh friends?

Thanks for doing the AMA!
Here is my question:
I am graduating in December with a degree in Mechanical/Nuclear Engineering from an ok-engineering school. Not Ivy League or top 25 in the country. I have an average resume: ok GPA, some work experience, and activities. What can I do after graduation that would impress NASA and get me an interview someday? I would love to work at NASA when I'm older, but how do I make myself stand out over MIT, Standard, and Cornell grads?
Edit - Thanks for all the responses. However, I would like to emphasize that I am graduating this December. Opportunities for me to do research with professors and apply for internships has passed =(. Mainly looking for advice on how to add onto my resume after graduation to impress NASA folks. Work on my own projects? Invent something bad-ass? Gain experience working in a certain industry?
