Many students start with one type of engineering and switch to another. In fact that includes me - switched from CivE to MechE around my 3rd semester. Personally I don’t see a lot of advantage to aerospace degree. It seems MechE with some aerospace electives would allow more flexibly after graduation.

For now don’t worry too much which specialty. Concentrate on making a list of a variety of schools (safety, match, reach). As you probably already know, Stanford and MIT are a high reach for all. If you have stats to consider applying, you probably qualify for excellent merit scholarships elsewhere. Good luck!
