Question regarding Extracurriculars

Applying to College

<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>This is probably a unique question, but I was wondering what you guys think.</p>

<p>I started flying right before I turned 16. I soloed for the first time about 3 days after I turned 16. (16 is the age when the FAA allows you to first solo). I'm now a fully licensed Private Pilot with about 65 hours logged.</p>

<p>What effect would this have on a college application? Is it something they will look really positively upon?</p>

<p>Yes - it's cool. Hard to say how it looks compared to the accomplishments of other applicants...</p>

<p>Try to combine your interest in flying with some kind of physics project, or something.... that will DEFinately win you some points with the adcoms.</p>

<p>If you can express your passion for flying in your essays, it would definitely give you an edge.</p>
