Becoming a Pilot as an Aerospace Engineer Major

From doing many hours of research to find out what I am interested in, I am choosing a path I will be most passionate about, and that is being a pilot. I aspired to become a pilot since I was a dreaming ten year old. And as I fill out my UC and CSU applications, I have realized I am taking a huge step towards my goal. I have applied to several UC's and CSU's entering as an Aerospace Engineer major with Mechanical Engineering as my alternate major. Most pilots are only required a bachelor's degree in any subject; however, I chose an aerospace engineer major to reinforce my understanding of aerodynamics. To start preparing for the many physics equations in the coming years, I took a physics class to build a basic foundation of motion, energy, and force. Although the class was somewhat ineffective, it was more of an introduction to physics rather than learning the concepts and sharpening my knowledge. My question is what are the challenges that I might encounter by becoming a STEM major? How difficult are the classes going to be?
