Chancellor's Formula Questions

[mswtruth]

I'm hoping some of you might be able to clarify some questions I have about the chancellor's formula and how city college nursing programs calculate your score. It seems that maybe different schools utilize it differently. Csn they fo that?

For the English GPA is it for your English Composition grade or all English courses? I took a critical thinking and comp course too.

For your overall GPA of the last 5 years is it only credits from your last 5 years or is it a GPA based on your last 10 semesters of course work? I have returned to school and have been finishing prerequisites for the last two semesters. It had been 15 years prior that I'd been in school. Do those semesters from 15 years ago factor in?

I have an excel spreadsheet to calculate my score. Is Composite score that schools are asking applicants to meet the Computed Probability of ADN program completion score in column F? Or is it elsewhere?

Thanks for the help!

For SRJC they factor your A) GPA for English 1A or equivalent (one course of college reading & composition), B) overall GPA in the last five years, C) core science GPA (Anatomy, Physiology, Microbiology) and D) core science repetition. I believe COM uses the same formula.

If you're worried about your English grade, I wouldn't sweat it too much- So long as between your science GPA, English grade, and overall GPA spit out more than 80%(SRJC) or 72%(COM) on the spreadsheet (which I don't know how to do). They won't factor your GPA from more than 5 years ago.

If that's the case I'm golden. But if they do go back chances are I might have barely missed the 80% cutoff for SRJC. My sciences are 3.7, English 2.5 (C in comp from 15 yrs ago and B in critical thinking and comp also 15 yrs ago lol!). Overall for the past year I have a 3.6 GPA but if they do 10 semesters of coursework I only have a 2.9 GPA from all those C's from my younger years in college. I have well over 90 units total. I considered myself a professional JC hopper in the past ;-)

mswtruth, I was wondering if you ever figured out if they factored in your GPA from 15 years ago? I'm in a similar boat, going back to school 13 years after graduating from undergrad.
