[comp.robotics] AA or CS at Stanford

Hello,
I've recently sent for and recieved application material for
masters's degree at Stanford.  However, I am torn between
applying to the Computer Science and Aeronautics Engineering 
department.  The problem is that there are a large number of
courses I like in the CS department but also in the AeroEng dep.
I am mainly interested in Aerospace robotics and have been
interested in other fields in Aerospace engineering.  The CS
department seem more restrictive in course selection, whereas
if I went for AeroEng I can still take some of those CS courses.
The CS dept seem more suitable to me in terms of my background,
I am close to graduation from a computer engineering program.
But I am interested in CS because I like the Aerospace field and
not the otherway around.  Also the deadline for AeroEng is a whole
month after CS so I may have a better change of getting everything
in on time for AeroEng.  
Thanks for baring with me all this time, if you aren't confused
as I am after reading all that maybe you can give me some advice
as to which one of the programs I should try for.
Thanks in advance
