Dont get yourself crazy, your only a sophmore. Give it another year when you know your grades better, and take the PSAT/SAT and/or ACT.

That's a LONG way from Alaska!

I really reccomend going to tour the schools (and others) before you make a decision. Both schools are very expensive so you should probably make sure that you'll be happy there.

There are really 3 top schools when it comes down to flying, and the SAFECON stadings really show how good these schools are, as for the 2004 final standings.

1- University of North Dakota
2- Western Michigan University
3- Embry Riddle- Prescott, Arizona campus

As for something closer to you, the University of Alaska Anchorage also has a flight school.

I'm partial to Big Ten schools myself. Make sure you look into Purdue.

while i agree that some schools are better than others, how much you're going to get out of it really depends on what you are willing to put into it. The SAFECON competition is pretty much a big joke. Its where every school's uber dorks (sorry mike, but its true) get together and see who can land their trainer in a 200ft box, something you should be able to do anyway. I would definately look into the U of Alaska program. There's lots of flying jobs in Alaska and going to school there would probably make networking for a job up there much easier. I gotta laugh whenever I hear about that school though, their hockey team sucks. Shame too, I think they have the coolest logo in the WCHA.

I don't even want to start thinking aboutapplying to colleges yet. I lived through my 4 older siblings going through that hell and I am not looking forward to it!

[babypurin]

I'm going to start going through it; and its not going to be fun!

My guidance counselor just started talking to me about it.

I didn't start looking and applying to colleges until I was in my second half of Junior year. YOu've got time.
