<p>My son is an Aero major at Auburn - starts his Aero classes this fall (completed both introductory engineering courses) and is thrilled to be at AU. You don’t apply to the Aero Engineering, you don’t even apply to Engineering, you just apply to AU. If accepted (not selective so you will get in) you select a “pre-Aero” tract and until you finish your basic courses and take both freshman Engineering courses you are “pre-whatever” engineering. Once you complete those classes and have a certain GPA (average I think) then they flip the switch and all your paperwork reads College of Engineering. AFROTC would be wonderful for you. </p>

<p>BTW my blue eyed freckle faced very Irish descendent Caucasian son is a member of the Hispanic Aerospace Engineers - he said they have the best organized group on campus, all aerospace majors welcome. </p>

<p>I guess I didn’t read all the way down your list before - I see you are at Lambert - which assistant principal - did she used to be the AP English Dept Head at South? If so, great lady! You may come in with a lot of credit starting as sophomore, even 2nd semester sophomore. Even though you don’t need to - take some basic courses to help soften the hard load. My son took some advice on here that you need the time more than the GPA booster - don’t agree with that - you can always find the time, but some classes are just a killer if you get the wrong professor. </p>

<p>Good luck to you - if you end up at Auburn, send me a PM.</p>

<p>If you raise your scores, you do need to apply to GA Tech too if you haven’t already - although difficult to get into, they seem to have an odd way of selecting admissions…but tuition would be free and that is priceless.</p>
