They probably want to assess possible retardation just by looking at the candidates and seeing what they have to say in general.
That's what I've heard too. One of my friends just started there, and she said at her interview they focused on personality, financial stuff, and why she wanted to be a CRNA. Weird. I talked with X at TWU yesterday & said they are planning on interviewing all qualified applicants again this year. He said last year that was about 400 for 120 spots. Yikes! He also (sigh) told that I hadn't missed the cut by much, that they just ran out of slots before they ran out of qualified people. He was really kind about it, and said that he didn't know if telling me would make me feel better or worse. It was very mixed, I have to say. I felt good that I came that close but then kicked myself for not pushing a bit harder!
