If the flight school is CFA in San diego stay away. The owner is a little scammer. He is getting sued and is having proper cash issues. Last I heard they were asking for cash upfront for a discount. He might not be asking that by email, but things will change once you are in San Diego. Thats always a bad sign. They dont have enough planes or instructors. There are about 50 inidians trying to fly there. Think one bloke did 30 hours in 4 months. So still hasnt done his ppl. I heard ATP is good. Lots of self study, but its cheap and can get ratings knocked out fast. Never been there personally.
