<p>Philly and Aerospace girl, I have a friend who’s majoring in aeronautics and doing ROTC at Purdue.
I took an aviation class during high school and my instructors strongly recommend Embry Riddle and to stay away from the Spartan School of Aeronautics.</p>
<p>If you are strongly willing to go to a service academy go for it!!! Philly, I was in your shoes last year. I so wanted to go to the Naval Academy but I never thought I’d have a chance. I got accepted to the Naval Academy prep school so I will be at Annapolis next year, better late than never! Air Force also has a prep school so just go through the process and see what happens. I will be going for Aerospace at the academy but our major doesn’t start until sophomore year. My physics instrutor graduated with a degree in Aero. there and she got recruited by NASA (turned it down because she decided to be a gunnery supply officer instead, weirdo).<br>
Last year I also applied to UIUC for aero and Lewis University(Romeoville, Illinois) for Aviation management.</p>
