HELP! Advice for an aspiring Astronotical Engineering Major

Thank you all so much for the helpful advice and linked resources (especially the other universities that were not previously on my radar!). I have found some summer courses relating to physics and math that I plan on taking this year.

I am currently taking flying lessons and am working towards getting my private pilot’s license. Are there any flight related activities that I could pursue to build portfolio because I really enjoy this field.

Additionally, could you please suggest any academic competitions that I should participate in that would help with my application?
