I've only had an intro to Java class, never any MATLAB

I am a physics major with a math minor. I only have to take two more math classes after this semester to finish my minor. I'd like to know which classes would be most beneficial for me. I've taken: Calc I Calc II Calc III Diff Eq Linear Algebra Differential Geometry Courses that I can take...

At your age you should just worry about doing well in trig, algebra and physics in high school. You'll start to get an idea of what you want to do as you get further into physics (although it sounds like you're pretty interested in astrophysics). As for astrophysics, you're going to need a PhD...

Thanks for the replies, everyone. As for my career plans, I want to become an astrophysicist (I will choose more specific goals when I get further into my education). Even if they do teach the math in the physics classes, I understand it much better if I have had the math before and have gone...

You might as well apply to Caltech or MIT, those are fantastic scores you have (unless you had low scores in other subjects not listed) and with a degree from either school you open up a lot of opportunities elsewhere (whether it's grad school like you said or a career).
