____________________________
Total 42 points

If you were to have taken every single one of those you would make 42 points, but you stated that you havent taken Economics, PE, and the computer course. So the max you could make here is actually 38.

I received the full 10 points for the 1 pt – per course with grade of “B” or above (max. 10 points) A&P I, A&P II, Microbiology, Chem., Math, Engl I, Engl II, Gen. Psyc, Intro to Socl, Devel Psyc..

I received 19 points for the BSN core and/or prerequisite courses currently in progress.

I think that is a typo because surely they will give points for people who have already completed them as well as those who are taking them.

I took everything except Economics, the P.E. and the computer requirement.

You misunderstood this category. This category gives you 1 point for each core/prereq course that you are currently taking or plan to take before being accepted into the nursing program. (Basically anything that hasn't gotten a Letter Grade yet.)

Since you have taken all of your prereqs, and the core isn't necessary for admission, and since I don't know if you're taking courses or not right now, this could be between 0 and 2 points added depending on if you plan on taking economics and computer before enrolling.

Okay, so now its the cumulative gpa and core. You receive 1 point for every .10 you are over 2.50

So I had a 3.33, so that would come out to 9 points. So that 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3. I did that incase any of you were getting confused on how I came up with the 9 points.

3.33-2.5 = 0.8, so you get 8 points.

You also receive 1 point for every .10 you are over 2.50 for the Nursing Prerequisites. I had a 3.41, so that comes to 10 points. Same formula as above.

3.41 - 2.5 = 0.91, so you get 9 points.

I received 2 points for being “POST HIGH SCHOOL” on my Reading portion of the NET. This is the reading level that you read at. Its either Below High School, High School, or Post High School.
