Hello everyone!
I will be entering my final year of high school, and then will hopefully be attending Embry-Riddle for their Aeronautical Science program in Fall of 2002. I have a few questions that I was hoping some of you could answer for me.
1 - I'm a Canadian citizen. Are their many Canadian students attending the university. More importantly, are the costs any higher for an out-of-country student?
2 - Would it be wise to complete my PPL before I go to Embry Riddle in a year?
3 - How do most people at the school pay for tuition and flying expense etc? Mostly student loans?
4 - Are there any opportunities for work on campus, or any aviation-related jobs off-campus?
5 - I'm not familiar with Grade-Point Averages, or what requirments ERAU has in regards to accepting students. In Canada, our marks are recorded in percentages. My average this year was rougly in the upper 70's. Is this adequete? Or do I need to really bust my ass off to get accepted next year? Is competition tight to get in?
6 - What high school courses would you recommend me taking next year to help me get in?
My schedule next year looks like this:
Advanced French Immersion
English
Man in Society
World Insues
Math - Grade 12 (4th year)
Calculus
Physics
Finite
Would you recommend making any changes to this schedule? I haven't taken a single chemistry coarse throughout high school - is this a problem?
Wow - I think I got through them all.
Any help would be appreciated. I would just really like to get some answers to these questions.
I look forward to a reply
Thanks,
Kyle Richardson

P.S. - Regarding dorms....can I get a single room for myself? How much more does it cost roughly? Thanks.
