Information needed!!!

Hi all

Sorry if this has been posted a million times!

I am 15 and of course desperatly want to become a pilot.
I am predicted A* in all my GCSE subjects. I have alreadyt logged about 2hrs worth of flying for FREE! Due to some serious beggin and manual labour! I am hoping to go down the sponsership route since I will never be able to afford the training costs. I was wondering what qualities, interests should I persue/develop to make sure I get selected on the course. What are is the borad )sponsership personell) looking for? Should I do specifc A-levels such as physics and maths and should I do a degree..will it improve my chances?
Basically what can I do to improve my chances of getting selected?

Many thanks,

acroid

p.s I do not want to do my ppl because I heard some airlines won't accept you on their sponsership because there cadets are supposed to have no flying experience..is this true for Ba scheme, and does anyone know when it will start up again?
