Just thought this list from WPI may be of interest. You can see what undergraduates in astrophysics and EE actually do.
For astrophysics see https://www.wpi.edu/search/google/astrophysics#gsc.tab=0&gsc.q=astrophysics&gsc.sort=
For EE see https://www.wpi.edu/academics/departments/electrical-computer-engineering
For cheerleading see https://wpi.campuslabs.com/engage/organization/cheerleading
Average unweighted GPA @ WPI is 3.9
