I copied this from the Lonestar-North Harris website, but pretty much All campuses have the same point system, they just accept different number of students.

Selection Criteria

Beginning ADN students are admitted every August. Usually, there are more applicants who meet the admission criteria than space will allow. Out of the12 points possible, applicants will be ranked by their total points for acceptance into the program. The students with the top 100 scores will be offered admission. This ranking for placement will be based on:
