Aerospace Engineering or Astrophysics? College Application?

<p>Thanks for the quick responses.</p>

<p>@ThisNerdGotAGirl (sorry, don’t know how to do direct quotes on this forum)
-Algebra I & II, Geometry, Accel. Trig., Analytical Geometry, and AP AB Calculus (I plan on passing the AP Exam for calc.)
-Physical Science (H), Biology (H), Chem. (H), Genetics (H), Space Technology & Engineering I & II, Accelerated Physics (no science AP/DE at my school :confused: )
-DE Language & Comp. I & II, DE Literature & Comp. I & II
-AP World History, DE American History, DE Economics, DE American Gov’t
-DE Music Appreciation
(I’m assuming you meant only for Math and Science, but I included all my AP/DE classes)</p>

<p><em>Sigh</em> The more and more I do college and career research, the more I come to the seemingly inevitable conclusion that Astrophysics will most likely end up being a passionate hobby of mine… No matter, as long as I learn all I can about it, I’ll still enjoy it, even if I dont get to learn first-hand the beautiful math that explains our Universe and existence.</p>

<p>Now, I’m glad to see so many scholarship opportunities so fast, I really don’t know where to start looking for that kind of stuff. Any other leads would be appreciated.</p>

<p>Additionally, I have no idea how I left it out of my original post, but I’ve also considered Nuclear Engineering. I’ve been told by a few of my teachers and a “mentor”, if you will, that Nuc. Eng. combines alot of both physics and engineering to a level that would suit me. What’s yall’s take on Nuclear Engineering? I’m sure there are a ton of jobs out there in both the applicational and research/theoretical fields, what with all this concern for alternate energy sources.</p>
