thanks for the help and quick response i have one more quick questio about the school. if i were to get a private pilots licence before i go to college would that effect my degree in flight for purdue? would i have to retake the class with them? and if it doesnt effect anything will i have to still build up hours before i can do cfi? thanks again you guys are great

so what your saying is that i can get my ppl and everything to get the licence but then when i get into purdue they would make me retake ground school with them but no flight for ppl with them? and everything else meaning retake the test for the licence? sorry but im pretty confused with all of this stuff im not too familiar with any of the procedures

You would have to test out of the ground if you go in with your PPL. Otherwise you have to retake the ground. "Everything else" means the 4 year curriculum.

I got into the flight program the hard way. I went to aviation admin first, and then transferred over. I had a 3.9 GPA and Dean's List before I was let in. To get in right from high school the average GPA was 3.8. These stats are from 1997-2000 however.
Looking back, yes it was a good school. Would I do it again, no. Fly on the side while getting a real degree to back yourself up in case your flying career tanks. I've seen too many guys get furloughed or medical out and have nothing else to do. Just my 2 cents.

for sure im going to get myself a second major if i get into purdue but if i dont get in i will mostlikely do flying as part time to get my ratings and major in some other field besides aviation. im just really intersted with this schools flight program. all the other college with aviation doesnt seem as good unless if you guys have any other good recommendations?
