For those of you who make/made TVC rockets what software tools do you guys use, and do you code the PID from scratch or use a tool online that abstracts the process?

If my project involves invasive species can I kill them in experimentation

they are invertebrates

I did clinical AI research presented at an MIT conference. I did aerospace research for the AIAA regional student conferences. Now, I might have an opportunity to work with a clinical YC startup, who also said they could possibly even fly me to their lab. Additionally, I might have a possible venue to be a contributing author to a paper that gets accepted into a nature journal (NOT springer nature) under nasa ames scientists (also on the medical side.)

I've been always wanting to go into the aerospace field with a passion ever since middle of sophomore year. Heck, I wanted to go into a specific aerospace subfield too.

However with all of this happening, I don't know whether I should switch or not. Any advice?

Everything i try to do seems to end up going a different direction than I want it to.

For reference I am a rising junior. I didn’t do any prep yet but took a practice test (practice test four on bluebook) and got a 1390 (630 reading, 760 math) with goals of having a 1500-1550+ and 800 math.

I heard the real SAT is much harder and a 1390 would be absolutely horrible.

Should I take the August or September SAT? The sub was saying that since June was difficult August may be easy, but I’m not so sure.

I’ve cold emailed and got mentorship online from professionals whenever I needed help with my work. But other hsers are able to get opportunities to work on their own projects at university labs. How are you guys doing this?

hey guys, I unfortunately got rejected from all my summer programs (I only applied to bwsi and sip, I should've applied to some high-acceptance high-value ones and that's a bad decision on my part). I feel very disappointed considering that I had alums review my essays and say they were "acceptance-worthy," and that I was truly passionate.

Anyways, can't just sob or rant. My plans for the summer is to study for f=ma, make more projects and further develop my skills (ML, PCB, CAD, webdev to name a few)
Cold-email local labs, postdocs or even aerospace startups for opportunities. I got one a couple months ago (postdoc) and wish to maybe see if I can continue with him over the course of this summer.
I'll also revamp my startup (it's got traction (16k followers) and 250+ possibly interested users, but my first few projects were a flop and weren't able to convert them.
i'll be working extensively on science fair project too since I don't have a summer program now.
And finally, just continue some of my previous ECs

advice?

I heard like almost every sophomore got rejected
