   To be honest, I'm not sure. On the website it just says "CPR as professional rescuer". I have the healthcare provider one and especially if you've never had healthcare experience recommend that because it's more in-depth. I'd call the school and chec...

   As far as I know, you're essentially looking at all private loans and any scholarship money you can dredge up. We have people doing a bunch of different things. Some saved up money before the program, some are working as much as possible to offset th...

   Storrs was my first choice and I got it. I did my undergrad there and I love the campus and area so I was REALLY hoping that was where I'd end up :)

   DavidChen0811 - I submitted my application mid-january for the January deadline. I was told we wouldn't be accepted for the jan/june deadlines if we had any outstanding classes so I had it all done by Dec and was ready to go. It looks like they're ch...

   Honestly that really depends on your ability to retain information. For the first semester, you have 1 class day, 3hrs of lab on a different day, and 2 days of clinical. That leaves you with 3 full days of nothing. Now to give you an idea of workload...

   I graduated UConn in 2013 with honors, a BS in Allied Health Sciences and a minor in theater production. Cum GPA was 3.5. My pre-reqs were all As except for one B+. I know sometimes people worry about taking pre-reqs at community colleges but I took ...

   I got my bachelors May 2013 and am currently in the 2015 cohort (I had to hold off a year to retake a class so I also got my EMT-B for some healthcare experience)

   I know we had multiple people from other areas: California, Florida, Illinois and they didn't seem to have any problems finding housing (in fact several ended up moving in together) but I'm in the Storrs cohort, so I'm not sure about the housing situ...

   Personally I like the program. Overall: Positives: -learning a lot in a short time (although some people are finding this stressful, I feel like this really helps in clinical because it's such a faster pace compared to a traditional program) -profess...

    I sent everything about a week before the Jan 31st deadline last year and got my acceptance Feb 14, just to give you an idea how long it takes. Don't panic if you don't get it the next few days, with all the snow, it might push back getting the lette...

    I'm also in the 2015 program at Storrs, so if you still have questions after looking at the other threads, I'd be happy to answer them! :)

    There is definitely a Storrs one (I'm in it) but I don't think there was one for all campuses until now :) So excited to meet everyone!

    I got an acceptance package in the mail. It had an acceptance letter as well as a few info sheets and health forms to fill out. As far as I remember, I didn't get an email. I got really lucky haha, my mom forgot I got mail and thankfully by the time ...

    The email with my peoplesoft/netID didn't come until mid-March, so it took about a month. If you're really worried, you could try calling and asking for an estimated time but I think it just takes awhile for them to sort through all the acceptances/p...
