| |  Case Western Reserve Students?
I am applying to Case Western Reserve University in the next few months, and am trying to begin prepping for the interview. Can anyone shed some light on what their interview is like? I know they now have rolling admissions, so are interviews granted fairly quickly after application?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

All I can say is make sure that your application is there and complete. I sent an application to them and had my undergrad schools send transcripts like it says in the application requirements, but one of the schools did not send them. Long story short, I paid 75 dollars to be told that my application would not be considered because it was incomplete. check and double check. good luck.

You just inspired me to resend a couple transcripts. The school where I got my BSN has its head up its a$$ and already two transcripts have not arrived as requested. I didn't imagine that a school would take your money and not even look at your info - I'm asking for new copies to be sent today!

I am a current student at Case, so I can give you a little insight. Krinkles was correct - they have limited questions on clinical situations - usually just one, and it's not one that requires extensive clinical knowledge. Basically, they want to know if you have the personality, drive, ambition, and assertiveness for this kind of work.
As far as their application process being quick, they have already accepted part of next year's class, so if I were you I would apply soon. They switched to rolling admissions this year. A friend of mine turned in her complete application and had an interview within two weeks, and she was accepted.
If you want any more info, PM me. Good luck!

You should rehearse before the interview. Anticipate their questions. For example:Why do you want to become a CRNA?( at least four solid reasons) What are your strengths? ( at least 4)What is your weaknes?(at least 1 that can be a positive)Why are you choosing that school? (Research that school and find at least 4 good facts about the school.)What are your goals?
Write the questions and answers down.you can also write questions and answers you feel they might ask. Rehease out loud. Doing this will also decrease some of your anxiety during the interview. Rehearse, Rehearse,Rehearse.
Always anticipate clinical questions. if you don't know say so. Don't BS them. From experience i have realized that the interview style one year is not neccessarily the interview style for the following year. one year they may ask clinical questions and the next year they don't.
