So it has been established that everyone's academic/extra-curricular records range widely and it might not be very relevant to look to an individual's stats for reference. It has also been established that the OP had good intentions.
I agree that people need to have thick skin, especially if they want to go to into the military. This, however, is not an excuse to be rude to people over the internet. I agree that nothing said was outrageously awful but there was still rudeness. HaleyM had a great post. If USAFA thought the OP was good enough then that's all that should matter.
To the OP: CONGRATS on your appointment! It is quite an accomplishment, as I'm sure you are aware. I know that a couple of years ago I found it insightful to hear about the stats of "those who had gone before me," recognizing that not everyone is the same.
