Not speaking about Cornell specifically, but in general, colleges do not hold weight to a HS GPA earned 8 years ago, especially if a respectable college-level GPA has been maintained since - veteran or not. Schools aren’t oblivious to how much an individual can mature given certain experiences (i.e. military service, or just gowin’ up). At this point, no matter which school you apply to, you shouldn’t worry about your HS GPA. Focus on maintaining a high college GPA to demonstrate you take your education more serious this time around. If schools ask for official HS transcripts, provide them, but really it’s probably more for them to confirm you actually graduated HS (obtained a diploma or GED).

Focus on some incredible respnses to essay prompts.
