If you believe that R-ATP makes a school more attractive you haven't done a good job at comparing options.

141 University School - you will be eligible for the restricted, but it will take nearly three years to become a flight instructor at about 250 hours. The average instructor flies about 60 hours per month depending on the school, sometimes well above that. Looking at 60 per month to build 750 is almost a year of instructing. Time to the regionals this route will be about four years from today. Not to mention the extremely high price tag.

If you dedicate yourself at a small flight school you can obtain cfi in about a year, spending only about 30-40k. It will take about a year and a half to two years to get the additional 1250 hours. Time to the regionals this route is three years from today, plus you have saved a lot of money. You can still do UVUs online program on the side, and get it done when you have time.
