minimum cumulative college GPA of 2.5 will be considered using the point system for the spaces reserved for
high school students. There will be an orientation for these students who are accepted into the VN program.
KAUFMAN VN PROGRAM
– High school students enrolled in a health science program who will graduate in 2018
should meet with their high school counselor to make plans to take at least one of the required general education
courses prior to graduation and the other during the summer after graduation. These students will apply during
the regular VN application period from April 1 to August 15, 2018 for the spring 2019 program. Applicants should
notify the HSC counselor that they are applying for the spaces reserved for high school students. Students who
have completed both courses and have a minimum cumulative college GPA of 2.5 will be considered using the
point system for the spaces reserved for high school students. If the students are not selected for the reserved
high school spaces (either program), they may be considered for other open positions using the regular point
system.
APPLICATION PROCESS
1. REVIEW AND PROCESSING OF APPLICATIONS
Applications will be reviewed as they are received. A checklist regarding the status of the application will be sent
to the email address on the application. If a student has not received this checklist within three weeks, contact
the HSC counselor. Applicants who do not meet the minimum qualifications to be eligible to apply will NOT be
considered.
2. LATE APPLICATIONS
If all qualified applicants have been selected and there are still available positions in any of the health
occupations programs, students will be notified on the Health Occupations Division website if late applications
will be accepted. For the fall semester, late applications will be accepted May 15-26, 2018.
3. PROCESS FOR SELECTION OF STUDENTS - PRIORITY SELECTION
All applicants who have submitted a completed application with required documentation (TSI complete,
transcripts and passing HESI A
2
scores submitted and 2.5 cumulative GPA or better on a 4.0 scale for ALL previous
college courses) will be considered for priority selection according to the point system in #4 below. Cumulative
Grade Point Average (GPA) is based on grade points earned from all colleges.
If all qualified applicants with at least a 2.5 GPA are selected (and spaces are still available), applicants with at
least a 2.0 cumulative GPA will be considered.
Applicants with the highest number of points will be selected for each program. If all applicants from the highest
category are selected, students will be chosen from the next category and so on.
Applicants who select SGT as their first choice will be given first priority. If all students who chose SGT as their
highest priority are selected, and there are still spaces available, others will be selected according to the same
process.
In the event that there are more applicants in one category than the number of spaces available, the first tie-
breaker will be the number of general education courses for the selected health occupations program that the
student is currently enrolled in. In case of further ties, random selection will be used.
These criteria will first be implemented in spring 2018, so there is no historical data for the number of points
needed for selections. Applicants are encouraged to meet with the HSC counselor to determine how to maximize
their points.
