Default How hard is it to get into ERAU?

Hi I am currently a junior in high school. I was wondering what my chances are of getting into ERAU, UND, Purdue, or Lewis University? I go to a Catholic high school, take college prep classes, get around a 3.0, play football and baseball, member of the academic decathlon team, and member of the chess club. I am currently taking flight lessons and plan to get my PPL before high school is done. I haven't taken the ACT or SAT yet, but according to the plan test I should score around a 26 on the ACT.

Think the only pre-requisite is money...

Can you stay on as a CFI at ERAU after you graduate to pay off a lot of the tuition and earn valuable hours?

I'm with the rest here, drop ERAU, take a smaller part 61 school, and get a degree that is worth something.

Btw: Awesome quote spoilers

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?

What about ERAU worldwide? How much cheaper would this be? Where would I take my flight training?

Flight train wherever you find.

I think online is about 60% cheaper. So go for it.
