<p>I've been doing a lot college searching and I've been wondering which schools have good Aerospace Engineering Majors/Programs, and/or Astronomy/Astrophysics Majors/Programs.</p>
<p>I researched and looked at Vassar, University of Michigan, and Notre Dame. Does anybody know any others?</p>
<p>I appreciate all the help...</p>
<p>air force is top 3 i think</p>

<p>Embry-Riddle's a pretty big one people keep forgetting...or maybe it's just an east coast thing?</p>
<p>Go to Caltech. Especially if you want to do astronomy or astronautical engineering. Caltech owns and operates NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab right here in Pasadena, and with the small student body, internships and such are extremely doable (and give a very nice boost to your grad school app).</p>
<p>thanks everybody for their help! I don't think I'll get into Caltech though... there is a very low acceptance rate at my school for West Coast competitive schools, such as MIT and Caltech.</p>
