I’m not aware of one at this time.. It seems to be a pretty quiet cycle (crossing fingers that's true!)

Do y’all mind sharing your scores? I think mine had a 33.18 on it when I submitted it. This is my first time applying to Blinn’s program, so I’m not entirely sure what to expect.

How do you calculate your points? I retook some courses and I’m confused on how to average those.

GPA x 5 

Required courses +1 each (up to 7)

TEAS (+2, 4, 6 depending on score)

Reading, math, english and science +1 point each if over a certain score

Bonus for patho +1

 

My understanding is if you retook a class within the past 5 years, the grade is averaged. So if you took Engl 1301 in 2017 and got a C but retook it in 2020 and got an A, it would be considered a B for GPA purposes. But if you took English in 2011 and got a C, since it’s more than 5 years old, you would be considered to have an A.

I applied with 32.5 points! This is actually my second time applying. The first time I applied was last semester and I had 28.5 points and got on the alternate list. My friend got into the program for this semester and I believe she had 32 points.

Thank you! I studied my butt off for the TEAS to get advanced & took pathophysiology over the Summer! I would say with your 33 points is almost a guaranteed acceptance though!

I thought about patho but decided against it. I did A&P2 in Summer 1 and micro in Summer 2.. by the time micro ended I was ready for a break ?

 

Crossing fingers we both have an easy in!
