you have 88 points because 89 on hesi equals 35 points, 3.6 GPA equals 18 points and 9 classes equal 35 points

Is anyone applying to the Lee campus?

boxermom_RN · Mar 22, 2011

I'll be applying to both Collier and Lee, Collier being my first choice.

I took the HESI test nearly a year ago and can't remember if the test had a built-in calculator or not? Anybody remember?

Does anybody know the cutoff score for last summer?last fall?

ESCstudent419 · Mar 22, 2011

The Hesi doesn't have a built in calculator, they give one to you when you check in to take it. I went to an orientation meeting in December and they said that the cutoff for last year (think it was for fall) was 88-Lee, 78-Charlotte, and 82-Collier. Those figures may not be completely correct just b/c you never know what people will have for points at the time of admission.

Thanks a lot. How do u calculate gpa? I'm trying to figure it out I think I got it but my gpa seems too low? Maybe I'm doing it right and that really is my gpa

patricia0809 · Mar 22, 2011

here is a example:

a&p1 4 x 3 =12

enc 1101 3 x 3 =9

mac 1105 3 x 4= 12

you have to add up what you got (12+9+12) and the credit hours (4+3+3) and then divide

rprado, BSN · Mar 22, 2011

A=4,b=3,c=2 right?

patricia0809 · Mar 22, 2011

yea, if you want you can go to the nursing department and they can do it for you.

Take each class that you have, however many credits each are worth, multiply that times the weight of an A(4), B(3), C(2). If your microbio class was 4 credits then you should have a total of 30 credits for what you have taken. The points you get after multiplying, divide them by the 30 points to get your gpa.
