Thank you @AGoodFloridian. I will definitely be applying to MIT and Cornell, but I’m not sure about Caltech as I’m on the east coast.
Do you and @rshortsma really think schools like Stanford and MIT are worth considering for me? I’ve tried to avoid thinking about such top schools because of how difficult they are to get into, but I might add a few more to the list. Stanford is a longshot, but the aerospace major looks amazing.
