I am currently working on my BSEE, a degree I settled on due primarily to financial stability compared to taking a BS in physics or Astronomy. However, I am hoping perhaps to graduate and go into an Astronomy Ph.d. program as that is my true passion.
I am hoping that my EE background would help me contribute in an interdisciplinary field that is important in astronomy like; remote sensing,Radio Astronomy, or instrument design.
How difficult of a time would I have getting into a graduate program? Which schools might be potential candidates for someone like me? Would doing a minor in physics help?
I'm hoping that I wouldn't have to take the PGRE because I'm pretty sure I'd do horribly on it. Just any advice is greatly appreciated!
