Might I suggest UND? Or really any other public university flight program.
In this line of work, it's all about cost. For me as a MN resident, UND was by far the cheapest option. (At UND in state tuition which is about 7-8000 is very easy to qualify for.) Also the flying can be, ahem, challenging in the winter, which will improve your flying. When you graduate, unless your family has money, you will be surviving on poverty line wages. Dont make it harder for yourself by going to ERAU. The airlines dont really care where your degree is from at the end of the day, as long as you have one.

As for the AF/AFROTC, if that is your dream, then by all means go for it, but remember that a) the AF will not pay your flight training costs (only tuition) and b ) the AF is training far more drone pilots then actual pilots, and drone time does not count as flight time.

FWIW, I got into the UND program with 3.2 GPA/3.7 WGPA and 30 ACT
