Does anyone know anything about these programs at UVA?

I’m still a junior in HS, so I didn’t apply this year, but I’ll be applying next year, and I’d like to know more about some of UVA’s programs.

  • How is the Astronomy (Or Astronomy-Physics) major? What kind of work could I expect to do?
  • What is the Aerospace Engineering program like? Also, what is college engineering like in general?
  • How competitive are application for the Batten School? If I don't end up doing well in Astronomy or Engineering, Public Policy has always interested me, so I'd definitely try and get into Batten if I could.
  • What are UVA's ROTC programs like? Do they interfere with studies?
  • How strong of an applicant do I need to be to get in? (For reference, I've got a 4.1 wGPA and a 32 ACT)

Thanks!

Are you in-state?

I don’t know the latest numbers, but the competitiveness of Batten greatly increased from 2013 to 2016.
