<p>Can someone also tell me which coll. will offer merit based schol.s based on my stats above?
Also, I want to major in Aerospace Engineering…I am planning to secure a couple of part-time jobs this summer (already have a summer prog. at UIUC under my belt), and increase my leadership activities…</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>If you are interested in Aerospace Engineering – have you considered applying to the Air Force Academy?</p>

<p>Ahh…not really, no…I think one has to be a citizen to get in…I’m not!..any other good colleges come to your mind?
I was looking at GA Tech, VATech, UIUC, and such…</p>
