Hello everyone.
I got a couple of emails earlier today from the person handling my AFROTC Scholarship Application. I submitted everything- transcript and counselor forms included- in June, and hadn't heard anything from AF since. However, in this series of emails, I was asked some troubling questions.
First, I was told that the GPA submitted by my counselor had been "recalculated" on a 4.0 scale (my school uses a 100-point scale) and deemed to be a 3.67. This is grossly incorrect: as the application states, A = 4.0, and I have never posted any grade lower than an A in the duration of my high school career. On the merit of this, my counselor stated on the form that I have a weighted GPA of 104.87 and an unweighted 4.0, (not sure why she switched from a hundred-point scale to the four-point scale, but there it is).
Then, a second email was sent to me a couple of minutes later, asking for a key from my counselor to describe what numbered grade correlates to an A, B, C, D or F in my district's standard.
I'm more than a bit worried that it has taken this long for this portion of my application to be 'corrected', and even more concerned that my GPA has been maimed as a result of whatever misunderstanding seems to be playing out. I didn't run into this issue with Navy. Has anyone experienced this before? Any advice you would offer?
