Hi Jimmy,
I was actually pretty close to your current stats when I got in back in 2005.

3.6 GPA, 27 ACT, AP Spanish but no other honors classes or anything. From what I've seen, BoilerUP is right. Just keep getting A's and make sure you have a life outside of school. I played on the golf team too (went to HS in SoCal), but I honestly didn't do much else besides that. If you can get that GPA >3.5 I think you're golden. As it stands, you probably would still have no problem getting in.

On a side note: If you want to go to Purdue, get ALL of your ratings now (even the CFII and MEI), finish strong in HS, apply to Krannert, and get a degree that will make you competitive when you graduate in what, 2015? Believe me, this is the way to go. You can instruct for Purdue or Lafayette Aviation and have more hours and experience than any flight student when you graduate.

Feel free to PM me if you're interested in any more info.

Brendan
