Delta propel
I’m currently applying to universities with aviation programs. I’m really interested in the delta propel program but my top school isn’t affiliated with delta. Is the program worth going to a different school for? Does anybody know how competitive it is to get into or any other information? My freak is to fly for delta. Thanks

Do not make career decisions based on a desire to work at a specific airline. Few people who don't have family connections or extensive military fighter experience actually wind up at their #1 choice.
Target a specific tier of majors, ie big three, big six, LCC, etc. Your target should be big six or big three unless you have background issues which you know will be problematic (in that case can also target AA WO regionals).
It would be a catastrophic mistake to focus your efforts on one major (which might never call) when you could have been building seniority at another very similar major.
Make career decisions which will get you in the competitive range for the top employers as soon as possible.

I second what the poster above said. Propel is constantly expanding partner schools. My school wasn’t added until recently but regardless you don’t want to sacrifice going to your top choice school for something that may or may not ever materialize down the road. Wherever you go, focus on getting good grades, passing your checkrides and building a solid resume (internships, volunteer experience etc),
