Question
Hello sir,I would like to query you about the requirement or qualifications needed to study Aeronautical or Aerospace Engineering undergraduate course.Right now I am doing my A-levels from Nepal and I have taken these subjects:Mathematics,Physics,Chemistry,Further Mathematics.I needed to ask you if I really need to secure high grades in all these subjects to get admitted to a good university offering this undergraduate course.Will there be a problem if I secure grade A in Physics and Mathematics and a B in Chemistry and Further Mathematics.I am not so good at chemistry but I do well in mathematics and physics.And sir please mention me the minimum grades for this course in these subjects.And could you refer me some good universities providing this course?
I am looking forward from hearing from you.Thank you.

I would not be discouraged by a B in chemistry.  But I am not a university admissions officer.  You need to apply to a school to find out if you can get in. You should not have a problem with A's in physics and math.  Google engineering schools U.S. for schools in this country.  I like U. of Washington - Seattle, but there are many others.
