I was asked about it at my 6 man Guard Interview Board. I said I'd been very busy flying 6 hours every night during my last two years of college. Then they asked why a girl with only 10 hours scored higher than I did on the Air Force Flying Aptitude Test.
I just burst out with a laugh and said, "That must be some test! Tell you what, put the two of us in a simulator, turn the vis down to zero, and let's see who can find the runway..."
Of course they hired the girl with 10 hours.
Turns out she had been a Captain on Active Duty, and worked in the same office where the tests and answer key is stored. Imagine that.
They asked me if my GPA (2.69) was reflective of the effort I put in to college. I said it was.
