Chances of getting into 221 this summer?

TheShocker · May 15th, 2006, 00:01

Heres my dillemma! I am trying to finish up 102, I only have my solo xc flight left before I am put in for my stage 30. I have been weathered a good bunch of times. What are the chances of getting an over ride and still be able to start 221 this summer if I am not done by this upcoming weekend? There is only 1 summer session for 221. Any words of advice or input would be welcomed!

I spoke to Al Johnson cocuple weeks ago he said we have till Wednesday, however I pray he will be more understanding of my CFI leaving and having to transiton as well as weather conditions. but as you already know im in the same position as you, see you in 221 manana.

Yeah, it kinda seems like a negative situation since everyone I have spoken too say the chances are pretty slim. I hope someone can tell me otherwise and that there is still hope. I mean the percentage of students who are finished with 102 is still kinda small. If I can't get in, I'll be heading back to NY. The plan is to then take Micro Econ over there to get that out of the way. Or maybe another class. I am definitely not going to waste this summer.

My humble opinion, don't try to rush it and then cram 221 in over the summer. You are kind of painting yourself into a corner. 221 is the one course that is the hardest to finnish because of all the solo xc, night, etc that you have to get done. If you start late, especially in the summer, you are going to have to scramble and get finnished if you want to take 222 in the fall. It is a vicious circle. The best thing would be to take your time, finnish 102, knock out some other classes (like you said) and take 221 in the fall, then you would be in a nice position to take 323 next summer, which is very easy to do over the summer, albeit quiet hot in the arrow.

Good luck.

Shocker, look at the bright side, you are in a win win situation, you don't get in you go to NY, you lucky ***. If you get in, you get to stay and enjoy your time here too, I'm keeping this summer busy!

Went to class today with Shocker and another guy who diddnt finish 102, were not goign to be able to take it theyre very strict in us finishing by this Wednesday, however im goign to give it one more shot by calling up Rosler.
Im got a job at the Service center, so im not going home until 6 weeks hence ill probably take some gen ed classes and even see if they will let me take the tailwheel/conventional course. But I am focused of doing ATP (Airline Transport professionals) this fall and taking a sem off then either comming back in the spring or not come back at all, UND's R#4@d me more than enough times already, you only let it, if you choose not to act. Another member UND FLyer did a similar thing as I might be doing.

When are we smashing your UND cake, bring it to the meet, maybe we can use it for fish bait, what do you say?

We should light it on fire and then put it on top of the washing machine we'll be dragging around.
