Question
SIR
i am doing mechanical engineering and wish to do masters in aeronautics from a reputed US univ.
can doing mech harm my chances of getting a good college??
what extra courses should i do to be at par with the students doing aeronautical in graduation??
kindly reply.

Answer
Mechanical engineering is usually considered good preparation for graduate work in aeronautics.  Take as much fluid mechanics as possible.  Any computer coding classes might be helpful.

Improving your English composition might also be important.  For example, all sentences start with a capital letter.
