  1. Hey people, let me first say that this forum is awesome and I would wish that I taken this prep before I took the TPR SAT prep....... Anyway, I have a tough decision ahead of me whether to go to UC's school such as UCI, UCLA, and UCD or get on a plane and head over to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University thats in Arizona or Florida. I'm extremely interested in Aerospace Engineering and I want to work for the companies like Boeing and Lockheed-Martin. Mainly working on military aircraft. I'm currently a senior in my high school as a California resident. My GPA is bewteen 3.83 and 4.00. I'm keeping up with my EC such as Academic Decathlon and few clubs. Unfortuately I was in Civil Air Patrol for 11 weeks because my dad was forcing me to study heavily on the SATs. But my SATs aren't that great: 630 in Math, 500 both in Critical Reading and Writing. And I'm planning to take another SAT test on Oct. 6th along with TPR's "Advance Course"(that is free). As for the colleges, I don't know which school should I go to. The UC's are pretty much broad on the majors and it is pretty much hard to get into them. But they are affordable for my family and closer to my home. But Embry-Riddle is the opposite of them. This univsersity is much easier to get in that their admission rate was around 89%! Plus they specificaly teach aerospace and I want the best course work when I'm out into the job field. However, this is a private school which means its way too expensive and far away from my home. I was planning to solve that by joining the Air Force ROTC or other scholarships that I may find. Loans can be another option. What do you guys think?
