    I am applying to Tallahassee Comunity College for the Fall 2012 semester. My GPA is 3.25. Here are my HESI scores:

    Grammar - 92
    Reading Comp. - 88
    Math - 92
    Vocab - 94

    Now, I know you get an additional 5 points added to each A, and 3 points added to each B, but does that mean this:

    92 + 5 = 97
    92 + 5 = 97
    94 + 5 = 99
    88 + 3 = 91

    Then divided by 4 to get an average of 96, and then add your gpa for a total cumlative points of 128 out of 160?

    OR

    is it

    92 + 92 + 94 + 88 = 366 / 4 = 91.5 and THEN add the bonus points like this:

    91.5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 3 = 141.5 out of 160?

    I appreciate any help. Also, Has anyone gotten in the TCC program with either of these scores?

    Thanks in advance!

    I applied to the program also for Fall 2012. It is a little confusing but here is how I understand it...take your GPA from only the pre-req courses and multiply by 10. Take your total cumulative HESI score (you should have one on the print out they gave you) and then add the additional points for each subject area on top of that. For example, my hesi overall was 93.5 and I scored over a 90 in each subject area so my total hesi points are 113.5 and my GPA is 3.55 so that is 35.5 points. Added together I have 149 points toward admission. This is at lease my understanding and if I'm wrong I have no problem being corrected! So I guess now we just sit and wait for 4-8 weeks....at least I have micro and humanities to keep me busy this Summer :-)
