this question has been asked forever and will be asked forever, for good reason...ultimately you have to ask and decide for yourself...BUT
the biggest thing i learned about majors is STUDY SOMETHING YOU LIKE or truly think will benefit you in the future greatly... i.e. do not study aero engineering or some related field because you think it will give you an advantage come flight school. the consensus is it probably wont...everyone catches up pretty quick and the nature of the material in flight school is taught in a manner accessible to any reasonable SMART person... not just engineers.
...most people drop the eng majors a semester in, very few stay in and fail (worst situation) and even fewer make it through to probably regret it and the rest succeed and like it. i did engineering for several reasons, and am happy i did:
1) wanted/ want to go to test pilot school; need an eng degree
2) like technical stuff
3) wanted a degree that isnt worthless...sorry international relations, econ, languages etc...you know and i know that those degrees don't mean squat. even business is a dime a dozen these days.
had i thought i wanted to do my navy time and just go commercial from the beginning of college, i wouldve studied classics or international relations...probably a lot more interesting than a lot of engineering.
the GPA multiplier talked about above... if you get a 3.0 in whatever non technical major but only pull a 2.5 in engineering... then it cancels out... get it? what i mean is you have to bust your ass for the multiplier to work.
would someone from a respected university be preferred over a community college... the simplest and most logical answer would be yes. reputation and credibility are important, but im not completely sure on this.
explore your programs. i did ROTC, every person who applied for pilot since ive been here has gotten it... from 4.0 engineers to 2.3 psych majors.
go somewhere to study AND go to college...college isnt all about studying. rush a frat. have a beer. hook up with a fat chick. er wait dont do that.
and aero nautical science sounds like retard engineering... .
