General Overview of Experience There were a few discrepancies with regards to logbooks/paperwork during the HR portion but most were easily explained. I was in total disbelief at the end result.

Did you have any issues with logbooks, application or paperwork? The date of issue for my commercial pilot certificate and private pilot license that I wrote in the beginning of my original logbook did not match the date of my check ride. I believe that I copied the date from my original plastic copies which may have been different. They took issue with this.
I was also dual enrolled in two colleges at the same time. This took time to sort out because they did not understand.
Regarding GPAs that I listed for universities that I took just one or two classes; For example I had a B and a C at university X. I listed this as a 1.5 GPA even though I never graduated from university X and never actually saw the transcript. The course was only taken at University X to serve as a transfer credits and to be included in my cumulative GPA. I am still not sure how they wanted this listed but we spent more time talking about this.
There was one oversight on my part. When I transferred all of my paper copies to electronic logbook (a timely process) I had some tail numbers dating back to my flight instruction days that I duplicated (to save time) and were more or less placeholders so I could get accurate times. The correct tail numbers were in the original logbooks which I presented to them. In hindsight I should have scoured my electronic logbook more closely since I did ultimately sign each page. Honestly this may have been the reason.
