Safety/Target schools for aerospace engineering + good degrees to match?

Answered

Hi @ruthie! Thanks for your question!

To figure out what schools are targets/safeties for you, check out our School List builder (linked here: https://www.collegevine.com/schools/hub/school-list/sheet ). In the filters, put down "Aerospace Engineering" as the major and it will list all of the schools that offer that major. Additionally, if you've already filled out your profile with stats and extracurriculars, it will also tell you if this school is a safety, target, or reach for you. This should be helpful in coming up with a preliminary list of schools to apply to.

In terms of what other degrees go well with aerospace engineering, that really is up to you! With a degree in aerospace engineering, you will be able to pursue exactly the career you want to, so any other major or minor you pursue should be based solely on your own interests. For example, if you really like economics and the intersection of economics and aerospace engineering, that might be a major or minor worth considering.
