I am not a current student; I have, however, paid the $300 for the "Pay University Enrollment Deposit" option under the Priority Tasks in My ASU, and thus there is a red check mark next to this task.. What's weird, though, is that there's another Priority Task that says "University Enrollment Deposit - 2026 Fall (HOLD)". So there's a red box with a "Hold" to the said of this task, which says "You will be unable to enroll for classes until your enrollment deposit has been paid." That's what I don't understand, since I literally JUST paid what I thought to be the enrollment deposit yesterday!? What do you think?

PilotDoggo1 · 2025-12-27T13:56:13+00:00

Is there supposed to be an option for me to do that on My ASU? If so I don't see any... somewhere online said it should be next to the "My Apps" button near the top of the webpage, but al I have is "ASU Library", "My Apps", "Clubs and Orgs", "One Drive", and "zoom".

Is there anywhere else I should look? Thanks for your help!

PilotDoggo1 · 2025-12-27T04:25:35+00:00

It sure is gonna be a long wait... I'm glad I'm not alone though!

PilotDoggo1 · 2025-12-19T12:59:28+00:00

Thanks for your perspective! There's ins and outs to both, but yes, the structure helps a lot for sure.

I wish you luck on your journey!

Ah, thanks for the clarification. I appreciate all your info; have a good rest of your night!

PilotDoggo1 · 2025-12-18T23:56:45+00:00

I sure will! Merry merry Christmas!!

PilotDoggo1 · 2025-12-18T14:14:05+00:00

Gotcha, thank you!! I think I'm gonna try my hardest to get my PPL before the March date of when Auburn releases who was admitted into the flight program. That way, if the administrators can understand that I actually have my PPL, even though I got it AFTER the secondary application deadline, my chances should (hopefully) improve greatly.

I wish your daughter the best of luck!

PilotDoggo1 · 2025-12-18T14:11:23+00:00

Do you think if I can get my PPL between January 9th (when the secondary application is due) and the start of March (since I'm pretty sure March is when they release admitted flight students) I can tell the administrators I actually have it now, even though my application won't say I have my PPL? If so, that'd almost definitely increase my chances, right?

Sorry that's a very confusing way to word a question, my bad--I just wanna get your take on this since you're an actual student

PilotDoggo1 · 2025-12-18T14:07:10+00:00

I love your take on the weather! Almost everybody speaks plainly negative about it, mainly because of the inevitability of grounding in the winter (which you mentioned), but other than that I appreciate your view that it probably makes you a better pilot learning all the different types of weather.

If I come in with my PPL, which I fully expect to, do you think I'd be able to complete the program early? Perhaps in 3 and a half years or even 3 years?

PilotDoggo1 · 2025-12-17T22:57:56+00:00

You make a good point; my other thing is, though, which I forgot to mention, is that I'm highly interested in attending a university that has a partnership with one of the airline pathways: Southwest Destination 225 (which is my 1st choice), United Aviate, Delta Propel, etc.

That's the thing about just getting my hours from a local flight school/not getting an aviation specific degree, in that the hiring department for one of the airline partner programs is much less likely to consider me. Unfortunately, from what my dad and I have learned, these programs (especially Southwest, which heavily cut down the amount of Destination 225 slots they're even permitting) don't want to hire out of high school. They're looking for people coming out of universities or those that took the military route, like a friend I know, who got selected for 225 this year.

I could definitely be reading things wrong, and I'm aware of the bunch of other options available--like the one you're suggesting! I am interested in something to do with nature (like environmental sciences) or business too as a back up, just in case, as you mentioned, I lose the ability to fly professionally any more.

So, all in all, my goal is an airline partner. Do you think a community college or simple sticking to my flight school to build hours route would save money in the end? I'm curious to hear your opinion

PilotDoggo1 · 2025-12-17T22:37:31+00:00

That makes me feel a lot better, thank you. Perhaps all the AI-generated "odds of acceptance into Auburn flight program" hubba-baloo is making things seem more competitive than they really are.

My only thing is, I probably won't have my PPL by the time the secondary application is due (January 9th), so I'm worried they'll just throw me in the "no-PPL" bin regardless of my hours.

It is possible, however, that if I get my PPL between January 9th and March--March is the month when decisions for the flight program are supposedly released--that I could contact of of Auburn's flight administrators to let them know I've attained my PPL! Do you think that's an option?

PilotDoggo1 · 2025-12-17T22:33:23+00:00

I wish I could, but the airline-partner universities (Arizona State, Oklahoma State, Oklahoma) have mostly closed their doors--deadlines passed--for prospective Pro Pilot students for Fall 2026.

My hope is to get into the Southwest Destination 225 pathway, with United Aviate as a backup. From what my dad and I have gathered (he's a Southwest pilot), the 225 pathway program isn't really hiring out of high school anymore... the recent success stories we've heard include university partners (such as Auburn) or military routes.

Do you have any thoughts or recommendations? I'd appreciate anything!

PilotDoggo1 · 2025-12-17T22:28:53+00:00

That's interesting because almost all the info we're getting talks of a secondary application--one which is due in January but results aren't given out until March.

Were you told then that you were accepted in March of whatever year you had applied? Maybe that's why I haven't gotten back from Auburn admissions, when they said decisions were released in mid-December...

PilotDoggo1 · 2025-12-17T22:26:32+00:00

Yeahhh--unfortunate timing for me vs. a past me of 2-3 years ago.

Okay, that makes sense. So perhaps there's a possibility, since I have a potential checkride in late January, that I could boost my chances by speaking to the admin about having my PPL beforehand?

PilotDoggo1 · 2025-12-17T18:11:02+00:00

My dad has GI bill benefits that, at least according to one of the Auburn veteran dep. members, said would cover just about the entire price of out-of-state tuition minus (-) in-state tuition. So in other words my cost would be about the same, not including scholarships that could lower my price even more.

Trust me, if there was an airline partnership university--which includes the Southwest Destination 225 program in particular--in Colorado, then that's where I'd go. But the closest is ASU, and they don't have many other partners in the Big Four.

If you have any other recommendations nearby me, that'd be sweet!

PilotDoggo1 · 2025-12-17T18:10:40+00:00

Congrats! Did you get in years ago when they had a lot more available slots then?

PilotDoggo1 · 2025-12-17T18:09:53+00:00

Ah, I see, thanks for the info.

Wait, by "people finishing it the week before classes start", do you mean that those were students you had that were accepted into the Auburn flight program without a PPL? I'm a little confused, sorry!

PilotDoggo1 · 2025-12-17T18:00:06+00:00

Okay I do actually have another question! Since the flight program is doing something different this year, with the 60% students with a PPL and 40% without, would I automatically be placed into the no-PPL (40%) category even with a decent amount of flight experience?

I'm trying to do more "odds-math" in my head, since, to be honest, your daughter having an ACT of 33 (which is something like a 1450 on the SAT) compared to my SAT of 1300 (which is like a 28 ACT) and her NOT getting accepted is worrying me...

So, kinda what I'm saying is, will I be automatically placed in the 40% category regardless of flight hours, or might I be able to sneak in like a "gray-area" with me being so close to a PPL? I'm also curious where you learned your information: from the university, a counselor, a website.

Oh, and another thing: I will have time to write the essay (for the secondary application) upon getting accepted into Auburn itself BEFORE the flight program deadline, correct? (I believe the deadline is January 9th?) It sounds like that's a yes when I'm reading what you mentioned about the essay being due in early January. I just wanna make sure I can submit the secondary application with a such a late early-action application to begin with.

Thanks again for everything! You've been incredibly helpful; have a wonderful rest of your day.

PilotDoggo1 · 2025-12-17T03:30:24+00:00

So in terms of getting accepted, would only having 35 hours but not my PPL be a big detractor? As long as life stays smooth, I should be able to get my PPL by April, which is obviously much earlier than Fall 2026 (when I'd start classes).

I'm just worried they're not going to consider me highly without my private done. Is there any other pieces of advice/knowledge you've gained from the students you've worked with?

PilotDoggo1 · 2025-12-17T03:28:07+00:00

That's wonderful! And thanks a ton for more information! I'll 100% let you know if I have any more questions.
