They take into account the pre-req GPA first, and then the overall GPA here. Then they look at your A2 and entrance letter, if you choose to write one.

Nov 6, 2011 Luckily for me the program I was just accepted to only looks at "competitive selection" class grades and their overall GPA. I had a reallyyyyyy low GPA from my first attempt at college at 18 and have just now got it built back up to a 3.0.Anyways my grades were all A's in A&P 1 & 2, English, Psychology, College Algebra, & Medical Terminology. All my non competitive class grades were A's, mostly B's. Also I had a PAX-RN score of 93.Grades counted for 40%, PAX-RN score counted 60%. My total was 96.4 out of a 100 and I just got my acceptance letter in September!!!GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!!!!!! Let us know if you get accepted :)
