Colgate University Graduate (2006)
Major: Philosophy

No flight experience


Good luck everybody.

I think my lack of any significant LORs might have hurt my package. Also my GPA/major wasn't too much help either.

Can you call it Philosophical Engineering? :)

Your GPA is fine..I got in with a 2.52. They really do look at the whole person. Your new ASTB scores are very significantly improved from the first time. They are a very important stat when it comes to pilot selection.

So you are saying they didn't accept me because when viewed as whole person I am inadequate? Just kidding :) It could also have been my rampant heroine abuse and pending assault charges. Kidding again.

Alive and kicking...sort of.
This reminded me of a funny thing about mechanics and their cameraphones.....when my company used one of our 737's as a prop for shooting the movie "The Kingdom", our mechanic on hand to babysit the plane actually pissed off Jennifer Garner 'cause he was taking so many pics and was acting like a total paparazzo, lol...

I guess these girls aren't quite as shy with the cameras, huh?

And it took forever to clean their special filming paint off the plane afterwards...some crap that made it easier to edit on a greenscreen and computer. They didn't think to tape up the pitot tubes and static ports before painting it, and it got in everywhere.

haha, thanks flyin4pride. You have to admit; 3 consecutive national championships is pretty damn impressive. Too bad they couldnt go for 4 this year. That big W for James Madison over the Mountaineers wasnt too conducive.
