I applied to North Harris as my first choice since I figured I had a better chance of getting into that one. They accept the most amount of applicants, and I only have 11.2744 points. I have done everything except my background check. I thought it would be at least another week before the letters went out. I hope North Harris started mailing out their letters as well.

what are points?

i am applying to an adn program at san jacinto comm. college - central in a few weeks. i hope i get in. =\

do you think an act score of 25 is good enough? ive already taken most of the pre-reqs for the program. they have two options to apply. use our act score or the average gpa of 3 of the pre-req courses (comp 1, college algebra, and a science - A&P1, A&P2, or micro) my averages of those are B's. so im not sure what to use to apply. im leaning towards using my act score

I checked my mail and there was no letter. Hopefully I will get it one day next week.


To answer the question about points, Lone Star uses a points system to find out who will be accepted. You can get a total of 12 points for gpa, total general ed classes taken, and hesi reading score. You need at least a minimum of 11 points to be competitive. Some of the campuses cut off at like 11.4 or 11.5.

I would say go with the ACT scores. I'm not sure of San Jac's cut off scores, but a 25 seems competitive if your general ed grades are above a 3.0.
