Question
How can I get an admission to one of the best universities in USA to get BS in pilot training?

Answer
Hi,

It is nice to hear from you, I will try to assist!

The vast majority of universities and colleges that offer aviation in the USA are listed in a publication called THE COLLEGIATE AVIATION GUIDE.  This publication is available from the University Aviation Association at www.uaa.aero

When you get that listing of universities, some of the best universities to review further are as follows(these are the universities that tend to do the best in National Intercollegiate Flying Association national championships):

Embry Riddle, Prescott, Arizona
Western Michigan University
University of North Dakota
Embry Riddle, Daytona Beach, Florida
Latourneau University, Texas
Purdue University
Southern Illinois University Carbondale
University of Illinois Urbana/Champaign
Middle Tennessee State University
Florida Institute of Technology

Best wishes to you in your search for an excellent school for flight training.
