Admissions

The University of New England sees a new student population of over a thousand students each year. In the past decade, total enrollment has surged to well over seven thousand students. Students from across the New England area are applying to the nursing, dental hygienist, medical, and liberal arts programs offered at the University of New England. As such, admission is very competitive.

Students should begin the application process immediately following their Junior year of high school. The application can be completed online. Those who choose not to fill out an online application can apply in person at the school or mail or fax their application to the admissions department. However, these students may be required to supply a processing fee with their application.

The application for admission consists of several parts. Initially, the school requires students to submit their official high school transcripts as well as an official documentation of their SAT or ACT scores. All students must submit these documents to be considered for admission. Students can also submit a personal essay and letters of recommendation from academic and personal advisors and leaders. Including these in the application will give a student a competitive edge in the application process.
