Hey. I am a 17 year old that just finishing junior year and I've just started my college search. I want to major in something space related so, either Aerospace, or Astrophysics. If you know any good colleges that match my profile please comment. 🙏
GPA: 3.8

Highest Math level: AP Calculus AB
I'm also interested in Astrophysics and Aerospace, these are the schools that I have on my list:

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is a great option! Only aeronautical university in the nation. Three campuses: Florida, Arizona, Online, and Asia. They have majors in both aerospace and astrophysics!
Hope that helps!
I'm not sure if location matters to you ... it might. If you're looking for an option in Texas, you might look here. My cousin @ Nasa graduated from here.
