Call me naive because I applied to the program but now that I look back, it is allot smarter to apply to your REAL degree program and then minor in aviation. If you are not admitted into the program your first year then just transfer to a different college. Its not worth it loosing flight time for something anyone can get anywhere other than where you are (if that makes sense).

Just my two cents of course. Don't mean to insult anybody.
The only reason why it's "selective" is because of capacity. 14 Warriors which handle your first 2-3 semesters of training, then 4 arrow's, and 2 seminoles for the advanced stuff. Any more than 80 students/class won't handle the load.
Can't minor in Aviation @ Purdue
Completely agree that a 2nd major is a great idea!
