University of Connecticut Certificate Entry Into Nursing (CEIN) 2026 APPLICATIONS

[Goodgirl142002]

Hi I am hoping to get into the CEIN Program at UCONN to start in January 2026. I am a former UCONN student class of 2024 with a bachelors in biology. I was not the best student in undergrad however I retook a lot of prereqs at a community college to increase my GPA. My prerequisite GPA is a 3.5 but my overall GPA is a 2.85. I started at a 2.5 because of extreme hardships I experienced during my time on campus at UCONN. I now teach a Certified Nursing Assistant course and I am also a instructor at a local high school where I teach UCONN ECE courses to the students. The classes I teach are medical terminology and intro to allied health. I was able to accomplish this all just in a few months after undergrad! I am hoping that my teaching experience plus my determination plus the fact that I have been a CNA for 3 years and am now good enough to teach a course will get me admitted! I have been working so hard to prove that I am more than just the mistakes I made during undergrad. I know this is a holistic program so I am hoping everything works out. I applied to the community college associates in nursing program as my back but I want to go to uconn so bad.
