Reputation at School A, B, C, or D doesn't necessarily make or break you. You are what sells you, and the amount of time to meet the qualifications of the job. Now there's always the Them vs. Us attitude between schools, some warrented, some just because, but the point in the end is find one that fits you. I'm a Purdue grad, and sure I'll haggle any ERAU, UND, Western MI, etc.. pilots, in the end it doesn't really matter, we're all here to fly! Some spend more for less, and all of them definately offer something different! Just really research them. Good luck.
