How about this explanation regarding education?:
1.) Aviation/Higher-ranked school probably scores higher than Party School.
2.) 4-yr Completion probably scores higher than >4-yr Completion
3.) Aviation/Engineering/Challenging Degree probably scores higher than Under-water Basket Weaving
4.) 4.0 GPA probably scores higher than a 3.0 GPA
5.) Having job dates that coincide with college probably scores higher than not. (perhaps it shows you were working your way through school)

And probably, the infinite combination of the above 5 items scores differently.

I would guess that the absolute highest scoring educational situation would be attaining an Aviation/Engineering Degree from a Highly-rated/Aviation University, completing in 4 years with a 4.0, all while flying and holding down a job or two. Education score: One Meeelion Points!

The problem is that, even if you max out the education score, this is only one part of a very complex application. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to maximize your application's total score to that magical threshold that will trigger the interview invite. And before you ask, no, I don't know the magic score. Sorry.
