Accepted to CRNA School, but...

[CVICURN]

Hello!

I have just been accepted into CRNA school and I am wondering what other people have done based on their experience...

I applied to 3 different CRNA schools and have had various interview dates for each. I have only done one interview and have already been accepted into that DNP program. The other two interviews happen in October and November.

I really don't have a preference between the 3 schools as all of them were my top 3 choices in the state. Do I contact the other schools saying I am declining the interview now? Has anyone been accepted to a program and continued with interviewing for other programs? Just want to see other individual's perspective on this.

Thanks in advance.

I would say it would all depend on when they want you to put up a spot acceptance fee. This is normally around $1000 that is part of your tuition that says I'm taking a spot in the class. Schools only give you a few weeks to decide if your keeping your spot in the upcoming class.

You can always put up that acceptance fee and still continue to interview and know that you have a spot in a program. If you got accepted to more than one school then you would have to decide from that point of is it worth paying another acceptance fee to another to be admitted to the other program that you might like better.

Just know that if you paid a acceptance fee to school A but the got accepted to school B and like it better, you would still have to pay an acceptance fee to school B and you would lose your acceptance fee at school A when you tell them your not coming. I hope this make sense.

If they're all exactly the same to you and you got accepted into one, pay the acceptance fee, decline the interview at the other schools, and call it a day.
