That sounds like a pretty good plan to me. If I read that right, does that mean your top choice would be Purdue? Is that a finished list or are you planning to expand a bit?

I ask because it seems some of the major Midwestern engineering schools interest you so it’s just a little surprising to not see Illinois or Michigan on there. I’m not 100% sure if Michigan leans more toward aeronautics or astronautics, but I do know for sure that Illinois has a large amount of aeronautics research, and therefore a nice array of aeronautics electives.

Also, I wouldn’t worry too much about a rigid course structure. You’ll find that at most engineering programs. There’s so much to cram into the degree that you have to stay somewhat rigid. That’s especially true in Texas where the state mandates a maximum number of hours that can be required for a degree.
