Lots of good advice here. The main thing is to do well in high school now. I didn’t see any foreign language in your courses. Some schools require 2 or 3 years of a foreign language to be admitted (yes, even for engineers).

Aerospace engineering is basically a specialized subset of mechanical engineering. So don’t rule out some good schools that only offer mechanical engineering. Honestly, if the goal is just to work in the space industry, and you’re open to it, take a look at electrical engineering. Those are usually in high demand in the aero industry as well as everywhere. But it’s really different than mechanical/aerospace engineering.

Get a budget from your parents, that will determine a lot of what your choices will be.
