That makes sense, thanks!

How long did you all wait to get an answer from LIFT, after the interview and testing in Indy?
Also, from what I understand, the 15k is offered as tuition reimbursement from Republic.

I interviewed pretty early on so i am sure it has changed for those that are just now applying. I received my acceptance email a little over two weeks after the in person interview.

If interest rates increase then who knows what you will end up paying..... And over a 10 years span you have to assume that at some point they will be higher than todays rates.

This program is being financed by the same banks that finance the ATP flight school programs. They are NOT student loans, therefore will have interest rates of 10% and higher, and are variable. The total cost will end up being will north of $115k. I wouldn’t put that kind of debt on myself and be forced into Republic as my only employment option.
