Hey all, this is my very first post, so glad I found this board!

I was wondering if anyone knows anything about the MbEIS program at the University of Connecticut. Its basically the direct-entry nursing route for people with a bachelors already. I will graduate with a bachelors in psychology, and a minor in physiology/pathology. I hope to graduate with about a cgpa 3.4, but my last two years my average gpa should be about 3.8 (I didnt do as well as I hoped the first 2 yrs.. about a 3.0).

I have been in contact already with the admissions people at Uconn, but I wanted to come on here and see if anyone here attended the program or knows anything more about it. I hear its competitive (150 applications annually for a class of 32 students), min gpa of 3.0, plus all the prereqs, which I will have completed. Just wondering if anyone here was accepted and what their stats were (cgpa, grades in prereqs, etc.).

Thanks!!!

I don't know much about the program at all but I do know that a friend of a friend is attending U MASS Worcester with the same type of Bachelor's to RN/MSN type of degree. From what I understand her background was bio/research and she is quite happy.

Good luck and welcome.
