flight training
...dont limit yourselves to Flight Schools. Roam aorund the airport and make some friends. There maybe some private owners who flight train on the side. They dont have a flight school per say but do use private airplanes to instruct in. Books, curriculum are all available from Jeppssen. Self study is a littel more difficult..so alot of self motivation is a must. This will truly show your desire to fly.
Now of course if you chose this path you would have to be a self starter and very self motivated. Since there are no classroom you are on your own to self motivate to study and progress on the curriculum.
good luck..
