Do the syllabus that is required as per information from your local university and as per the others above.
As well as that consider the following:
- Your desire to have children and the impact it may on them of you going to space.
- Consider other avenues related to being an Astronaut, including such things as a technician as NASA to have something to fall back on if you fail to become an Astronaut.
- Be aware that saying "I'm in a serious problem" is probably not the best phrase to hear from an Astronaut :-) (especially in a spacesuit).

1. Bachelor's degree from an accredited institution in engineering, biological science, physical science, or mathematics. An advanced degree is desirable. Quality of academic preparation is important.
2. At least 1,000 hours pilot-in-command time in jet aircraft. Flight test experience is highly desirable.
3. Ability to pass a NASA space physical which is similar to a military or civilian flight physical and includes the following specific standards:
* Distant visual acuity: 20/100 or better uncorrected, correctable to 20/20 each eye.
* Blood pressure: 140/90 measured in a sitting position.
* Height between 64 and 76 inches.

You have to know Physics, Math and engineering. They picked astronauts using from air force officiers with a degree in those, in particular aerospace engineering!

If you're at school I would recommend physics and extension 1 maths (or whatever your equivalent of that is). Engineering might also help.
In all honesty, however, it doesn't matter all that much except for the maths (which you really need). At uni your school subjects don't really matter all that much. But do extension mathematics if you want anything related to this.

Take physics, mechanical and electrical engineering, and then join the air force. You might also want to consider learning some proper English grammar.
