Section II: Admission Index Scoring System
RN-BSN Program
Students will be selected using an admission index scoring system (see Table 1) that incorporates the
applicant’s cumulative GPA in Core ADN Nursing courses, years of experience as an RN, and evaluation of
his or her video essay by nursing faculty. Applicants will be awarded a raw score in each of the three
categories. These scores are multiplied by a factor that levels each category at 10 points each for a maximum
possible score of 30 points. The highest-scoring applicants will be admitted to the program.
A wait list of potential applicants will be drafted and ranked in order of highest to lowest Admission Index
Score. If an accepted applicant declines entry into the program, the first applicant on the wait list is selected.
Students who are not admitted to the program after the first week of fall quarter must reapply for the next
admission cycle.
