    Should that hold true, I can't seem to grasp why so much emphasis is placed on 1 test while prerequisite gpa is based on numerous classes consisting of many tests, time, effort, sweat, and sometimes blood(I cut myself dissecting a cat). Doing good on 1 test just requires enough time to prepare and anyone can pass with good scores. IMO prerequisite classes should carry more weight. But I guess my opinion doesnt really matter as everyone has one.




    @buddy



    Yea I calculated whichever one is the correct one, I quadruple checked by referencing their guidelines and then calculating my score. I posted it in one of the earlier pages of this thread.

    not much

    pre req: 3.59: 6 points

    overall: 3.0 or 3.1 : 2 points (i think they calculated wrong but w/e) it may have raised when I sent in winter grades, doubt it though

    TEAS:.......sorry had to look it up. Reading was national %-tile: 91: 5 points
    English was national %-tile 78: 3 points

    CNA job at hospital 3 points

    What that tally me up to............. a crap-score of .....19

    Well the evaluater that broke the news to me said tie breakers are mostly like if you have the co-reqs done. Like if are lucky enough to attend CSULA or a school that offers a decent nutrition class that transfers or has completed intro to sociology. that is a tie breaker. I just complete intro to socio the beginning of this month. I probably should have sent the grades in. I am going to (I got a C, because it was online and I slacked! And it is my last 'pre nursing' class)

    Oh well.

    I guess its ADN for me!

    I was in the 96th percentile for math, 99th for science, 83rd for reading, and 89th for english. Wish they looked at math and science over reading and english. In my opinion they are more important as a nurse than reading and grammar..

    You mean you were a PA or something?
    Make sure that counted! I had friends that had healthcare jobs not of the 'listed variety' that is on their website and they didn't get points for it. That might be what did it for you



    Hopefully not though!

    I am sure you will get an email tomorrow morning!

    Not a PA, I volunteered 100+ hours under the direct supervision of an internal medicine physician. I took vital signs and assisted the doctor with anything she requested. This is such a headache, guess I'm not sleeping tonight

    Yea originally I thought maybe 24, but now I know for sure 23 after I dropped a point because of that. Good night dark. I'll pray for both of us.
