That's awesome that you're planning so far ahead! I was accepted into the upcoming CEIN 2020 program. I actually do not have ANY medical field experience at all. I did an internship last summer as a research assistant in an emergency room which i think helped, but nothing hands on. I know there's a good amount of people in the program with 0 prior experience as well. I am 30 years old and actually had a sales career previously. At the info sessions they made it clear that they really look at applicants holistically. I would definitely focus on your grades as much as possible. Get all A's and B's, and explain yourself and your journey well in the personal statement letter. All of my recommendations were from my professors and my previous employer (when I was in sales). It doesn't necessarily need to be a medical related recommendation. As for next summer, my advice would be to ENJOY IT! enjoy your time without classes and stress, it will likely be the last time in your life when you have that much time off to enjoy your summer! Maybe read some nursing related books? I've been reading "I wasnt strong like this when I started out" by Lee Gutkind and "Critical Care" by Theresa Brown. And i listen to podcasts sometimes about nursing school. Hope that helps!! Good luck!!! ?

I have! My name is Tess in the facebook group

Congrats!!! I was accepted into the Stamford Campus too! ? I live in Guilford, how about you?

I sent a request to the group as well! My name is Tess French, thanks for setting it up!

I got the same email back in January! And I was accepted at the end of May! Do you have a prereq that you are still finishing up? They might just be waiting for a grade! I sent in my grade immediately once they were posted and they sent me my acceptance that same week

Definitely!

Yay! Congrats!! Can't wait to meet at orientation ?

I got mine on a Thursday afternoon I believe, but not sure if they have a set date. Mine was also on hold since January so that could've been different Anyone else get into the Stamford location?

Hi! I didn’t receive anything via mail about my acceptance. Just email actually! What location did you apply to?

Thank you so much!!! And good luck!!! I've heard that most people have gotten their first choice for their location and especially if you're applying before the deadline. I hope you get accepted!!! The waiting is the worst!
