Default Accelerated flight schools in the ORD area

I'm looking at moving to Chicago to kick off my aviation career, and I'm struggling to find many flight schools in the area that have an accelerated, career-oriented training program. ATP has a school out at DuPage, but it looks like it's one of their smaller schools and I'm not sure I could burn enough hours instructing to make regional in a reasonable amount of time.

Can anyone recommend any other schools in the area with an accelerated/career program?

"Accelerated" and "Chicago" aren't generally used in the same sentence mainly due to the fact that our weather doesn't cooperate with us as well as flight schools down in Florida or Arizona/California. It's pretty hard to advertise an accelerated program, especially during the winter months. That doesn't mean that you can't come to any flight school and put yourself on the schedule as much as you can handle. I was a 250 hour private pilot in October of 2016. By April of 2017 I passed my CFI checkride and got a job instructing with the same flight school I trained at (Blue Skies out of Lake in the Hills Airport, IL). Things moved fast!
