Hi everyone!

I have been accepted to both the Southern ACE and UConn CEIN accelerated nursing programs. I wanted to reach out to see if anyone had any advice on which school to choose. As of right now I am leaning more towards the ACE program as it starts at the end of this July and the CEIN program starts next January.

Would love any and all feedback :)

Hi, Sorry I am no help to your actual questions but have one of my own. I am applying to the 2018 summer cohort for the ACE. Im taking pre reqs now. If you don't mind me asking what were your grades like? I am so nervous and stressing myself out to get straight A's Im just curious what the acceptance rate is like.

Hi @arasres3,

Very exciting! So, I completed the pre-requisites for Southern as well as UConn. Here are my grades:

A&P 1: A

A&P 2: B+

Chem 121: A

Micro Biology: A

Math Natural Sciences: A

General Psyc: B

Life Span: A

Stats: B

But, I also had (for the Uconn program....)

In addition to the above pre-requisites:

Genetics: A

Research Methods: A

General Bio: A

For some of the other programs I applied to I also had to complete the TEAS test here is my score:

overall 85.3%

Neither of these programs factored in the TEAS test though. UConn's program also factors in letters of recommendation, a resume, and 5 different essays. Southern's program factors in a 500 word statement in response to a video.
