So, you want to be an astrophysicist? Part 0.
-
1) Take all the math that is offered, and do well in it.
-
2) Take all the science on offer, and do well in that.
-
3) Get good grades overall; preferably straight A, but B+ will do
-
4) Do all of this without overextending yourself
-
5) Jump through whatever hoops are needed, try to enjoy the process, or just grit your teeth and do it; the real world is worse that way.
-
6) Enjoy life.
-
7) Read. Lots. Of everything.
-
8) Apply broadly, and aim for good universities
-
9) Go to a university you feel comfortable with, but that is academically strong. Reputation does count unfairly or not.
-
10) There's these whacky things calles SATs. You may have heard of them.
Do well on them.
