the joy and pain of applying to schools!

So the time has come - I'm ready to apply. I remember when applying to undergrad there were books that told you how many applicants the school historically had and what percentage was accepted. Is this information available anywhere for CRNA programs? I feel kind of weird shooting off applications with no idea how I might do.

And while we're at it - how do those of you who have been through this think I might do? I.e., am I going to get in??!!

ME:

- one year general surgery nursing
- six month paid internship in critical care, including didactic and clinical, 6 college credits (this came after the year of med/surg)
- One year independent ICU practice, will be 2 years when I matriculate
- I work in a medical/cardiac tertiary care ICU with many vents, a-lines, central lines. Few swans. Moderate use of vasoactive drugs.
- New GRE score 1410, with 5.5 out of 6 on analytical writing.
- Undergrad GPA 3.4. I haven't worked out nursing or science GPAs but they would be similar.
- Took 4 credits of general chem and 4 of organic, including lab.
- Three credits of stats and one of nursing research.
- No physics, and I don't want to!
- I think I will have good to excellent recommendations.

I have chosen 4 schools to apply to . . . my husband thinks I should do six. I want to do four and then think outside the box if I don't get in, but he thinks I should get all my recommendations at once, and apply to six so I don't get crunched for time doing a second cycle of apps.

Eeeek, I am so stressed. I can't do anything more on this until copies of my transcipts arrive. must . . . breathe . . .

thanks for any help you can offer!
