Hi everyone!
I am a pre-nursing student applying for some CSU nursing schools for Fall of 2019! CSULB is my #1 choice, but I had a question about the chemistry requirement. I attend Cypress College currently, and the counselor there told me that I had to take Chem 101 AND 201 for CSULB. The science course equivalency list on the CSULB nursing website confirms this, but there is also an option to complete a 4-5 unit general chemistry course (111A or 111B). Because I have changed my major a few times before deciding on nursing, I have completed all 3: Chem 101, 111A, and 201 (in that order). But on the actual nursing application, there is only one line for the chemistry course. So my question is, which grade/class do I put on the application and use to calculate my points? This is important to me because I have all A's in my GE and science requirements, but I have a B in Chem 101 because I took it very early on in my college career and slacked off a bit because I wasn't in the "must get A's" mindset I am now as a pre-nursing student. I would really hate for that one careless B to severely impact my chances and significantly lower my points.
I emailed the CSULB SON as well and I plan on giving them a phone call or trying to get there in person to get some clarification. I just wanted to post something on here to maybe get me answers sooner. Thanks in advance for any help!

Hello, they use the first course you took that fulfills the course requirement to calculate the points.
