How hard is it to get into ERAU?

APC -
I'm glad that so many of you enjoyed Spoilers analogy. I even find humor in it; but it is not an appropriate post (subject matter) for your professional forum. APC is not suppose to be a high school locker room.

Would Lewis University or Purdue be a better choice than ERAU? What is the comparison in price between these universities and ERAU? Since I have ADD, I think it would be very hard for me to keep my GPA up at a non-aviation college. Since I hyperfocus on aviation, I am almost positive I could ace ERAU. Any suggestions?
That said, it's not cheap (unless you're an Indiana resident).

I believe UND allows you to pay either in-state tuition or the WUE (western-undergraduate exchange) rate which would be cheaper than out-of-state tuition at ERAU. Plus its a real college experience (girls, hockey, girls, other sports, girls, etc.). I'm not familiar with other schools like Purdue or Kent State or if they would give you a break on tuition. But something worth checking into.
You seem like a smart kid, so if you really want to go to pursue an aviation degree, then do it! BUT, I HIGHLY recommend double majoring in something else as well, like business, economics, engineering (if your crazy), or history. You need something to fall back on. Personally, I have a commerical aviation degree from UND and also a business degree. Its nice to have a back up plan! Good luck in your efforts!

Not sure about ERAU, but I don't think you get automatic full "credit" at any aviation college. At UND, you won't get credit because the private pilot course is a college class as well and in order to get the college credit, you need to take the course. For those that have a PPL already, the flying portion of the class is achieved by flying a few lessons with a CFI. I don't know how many lessons there will be because they are changing it this spring, but I think its far south of 10 lessons (of which maybe 6 are actually flights). But again, I don't have specifics since its changing. Mostly its to get you use to UND procedures and aircraft.

Ask yourself this question. What will ERAU/UND/WEBSTER do FOR ME in regards to flying for an airline that somewhere else will not? A degree from ERAU/UND ETC..... will not, I REPEAT NOT, get you into an airline faster than anywhere else. Why, you may ask? The answer lies within the hallowed halls of APC. Please, please research before you and your parents decide on THE BEST COURSE FOR YOUR EDUCATION. AIRLINES HAVE NO PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT NO MATTER WHERE YOU MAY GRADUATE FROM.......
