I'm sure that DAL's process has a purpose, but it seems like a fine-toothed comb compared to other processes. I had a 2.78 GPA in my undergrad education, but it was in geology and was very heavy in math, physics, chemistry, etc. I think it's odd that a person could be a DG from USAF pilot training, etc but DAL gets wrapped around the axle over a undergrad GPA from 20+ years ago.
