Problem
Who Gets the Seat?
Student "Valerie" has a 3.7 GPA overall with all A's and one B in her science courses. She's volunteered at the local hospital two weekends a month for an entire year. Her goal is to enter the ABC Nursing program next semester.
Student "Tom" has a 4.0 GPA overall with all A's in his science courses. He served as a volunteer firefighter and he worked at the local nursing home for several months until he got a DUI last month. His goal is to enter the ABC Nursing program next semester.
As the director of the ABC Nursing program, which candidate should get the one seat left for the Fall semester? Why?
