It is so unfair when these schools quote the FAA minimums required to obtain your license.

The bottom line is that is is very rare (If not impossible) to obtain your license with the FAA minimum hours.

It is very common to take 2-3 times the minimum number of hours that the FAA requires.

They don't tell you this. It's like a big secret that they don't want you to know. They just hang out the FAA minimums and you don't find this out until you are DEEP into your training and have paid 2-3 times as much as you had budgeted.

How much was your deposit? How much more do you have to give them when you arrive? You might want to cut your losses here.
