It is likely your degree points won't matter if you have that many other points.

They may ask for NZQA later, but it seems like you could apply and be accepted with out any mention of your degrees.

Agree with becky re not needing points, however if you are using the points for your degree or masters then you will need to have an NZQA assessment

So i should use the points for my Masters (recognized US Degree) and thats it.

Bachelors degree (not recognized and needs NZQA) is not even mentioned in my EOI.

Thanks guys.

HI...

I think that you do not need to assess your bachelor degree
my bachelor degree wasn't assess either but only for my master degree ( the PAR result was level 9 in food science), and same as you that my bachelor is not on the list
