Re: Advice needed
Well first of all, your GPA should end up pretty decent. If you read on the forums, there are plenty of people with ~3.4 GPA that get accepted. If I were you I wouldn't just take any old graduate sciences, I would look at some schools I was interested in and see what some of the generals are (such as graduate patho). That way you'll be ahead when you start CRNA school. A great GRE score would also help your case. I used the Princeton Review book and a website called mygretutor.com and studied for about 3 hours a day for a month and got a 1260. If I had spent another month doing it I feel I would have scored much higher so I'd recommend 2 months.
I didn't have any extra certifications (not even CCRN) so I don't know a whole lot about that, but I do know that the interview committee at Pittsburgh seemed impressed that I was the co-chair of a committee at work and involved with a couple more committees.
