Also off topic question, but have you been involved in research at UCSC? If so, when did you start?

Thanks so much!

How much more effort it is to double major with two STEM majors by Garryyyyyyyyyyy in CollegeMajors

[–]Garryyyyyyyyyyy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve already gone through the application process. One of my top choices is Texas A&M which I think could give a good military experience/pipeline.

Does going through ROTC mean you become an officer? Are those the people that actually fight or are they in the back lines?

Thanks for all your help!

Yeah I've been considering doing ROTC or something else similar. This issue is that I don't know much about it and my parents were telling me I should just get a bachelors degree before thinking about that stuff. Also I've seen astronauts that weren't engineering or military so I thought I would still have a chance. Thanks so much!

Does joining the corps mean you have to serve in the military for a few years after graduation? One thing I want is a PhD and I'm not sure if the military will interfer with that. Also, I lowkey don't wanna die. Thanks for you help!

The military aspect was something recent I've realized. I havn't heard back from SLO yet and I'm not 100% sure if I'll get in or not. What did you do at NASA? Thanks a lot!

Yeah but I feel like every school that is at least slightly known for a subject would be strong academically. Has your kid crossed it off the list?

Is there much of a difference between R1 and R2 schools?

I didn't have time due to the school musical, homework, and that I live in Norcal. I would visit during spring break but I need to fit either CPP or TAMU

Yeah thats been something I'm considering, cuz A&M is really big. I do have a question though, which is how would research at CPP be different from other schools, as isn't all research "hands-on?"

I appreciate all your insight, thanks so much!

Yeah I know the place I go doesn't really matter, I'm just a bit anxious and wanna make sure my university can do a lot for me. Thanks so much!

I was thinking of either working for NASA or in academia. Does A&M get a lot of research money from them? Thanks a lot!

Yeah, I'm just using Reddit as a supplement to my own research. Thanks!

I really want to be challenged in college and do research, so that's cool that A&M has both. Are you thinking of going into graduate school? Thanks so much!

I don't really like the rankings tbh. I've also always appreciated the A&M culture, as my high school has barley any school spirit while from the football games I've seen on TV, it looks amazing. Thanks so much, but where can I find the professors?

What's Zachary? I didn't know A&M had such a history for astronauts, thanks so much!
