Aviation colleges will just down right accept anyone for your money. If they see you have a lovely income, they will love to have you regardless of your scores.
Currently i am at Utah state University. It has outstanding, dedicated and knowledgeable Flight instructors. USU BY FAR has the LOWEST tuition compared to other universities. Besides the cheap tuition, you have to deal with the mormons and crappy air quality that comes with an inversion that won't leave for 1 1/2 months that grounds everything. I haven't flown for over a month and i've already shaved my head because i'm going insane from waiting this long......I would say i wouldn't return to this because i'm just getting further and further behind on my instrument rating. There are guys that haven't been able to go out on their solo cross country since mid December.
Though their program would be so much better if it were funded a lot more passionately. Recently, the program just added a new level D crj-200 sim that cost maybe 200 grand.
I wish we had sims for the DA40s to practice approaches and what not, at least we would have practice manuvers and approaches while this inversion grounds the rest of us. As well as newer aircraft, and not just Da40s....c172s would be nice
I'm possibly considering, mabe if i want to drop the university flight school, go to a regular university and go through a part 141 flight school. That way i can get a real degree for a back up.
