I’m in the same position as you. What I decided is that I’m going to major in Aero if I end up going to a top ranked school (probably top 20 or better). If I end up going to a school that is not very highly ranked, I will major in Mech. The reason I chose to do this was because I don’t think it will be too hard to get an Aero job with a degree from a top tier school. But if I go to a school that’s not as good, I would like to have the more broad Mech. degree for the job security. I’m not really sure if this is a good idea because I haven’t heard anyone else suggest it, but it makes sense to me.
