Default Purdue School

I got into the flight program the hard way. I went to aviation admin first, and then transferred over. I had a 3.9 GPA and Dean's List before I was let in. To get in right from high school the average GPA was 3.8. These stats are from 1997-2000 however.

Looking back, yes it was a good school. Would I do it again, no. Fly on the side while getting a real degree to back yourself up in case your flying career tanks. I've seen too many guys get furloughed or medical out and have nothing else to do. Just my 2 cents.
