Anyone apply to St. Mary's CRNA 2019?

Published

Hello all! Just wondering if anyone applied to St. Mary's for the Summer 2019 semester. Has anyone heard anything back or know what their timeline is? I had heard that they no longer do live interviews. Is this correct? Anyway, good luck to whoever applied and hopefully we get to work together next year!

A coworker of mine received a rejection letter on Monday (April 30th) dated for April 25th. Very generic rejection letter with main part stating: "of those who have been selected, the average math/science course grade point average was 3.3 on a 4.0 scale, all had taken a baccalaureate level organic of inorganic chemistry course in the past five years, and the average number of years of experience was three years in an intensive care area." I have yet to hear anything though for my own status.

Wait, was a Chemistry class required within the last 5 years? I don't remember seeing that as a requirement. My GPA is well above the average according to that letter and my ICU experience is right around the average. My chemistry courses are 6-1/2 years old though. Damn I'm really nervous now because it could go either way. It sounds like they have already made the selections though so now we just have to wait it out. I'm all the way in California so my rejection or acceptance let has a long trip to take from Minnesota.

Wait, I just checked the admissions requirements and it did say a Chem cleared had to be taken within the last 5 years. Your friends rejection letter said that ALL had met that requirement. I guess that means i didn't get in. :(

Go ask a student what school it says on their diploma. MSA students diplomas come from SMU, in case you didn't know. So it's really like applying to the same school if you think about it.

Hey! Can I have your email so I can ask you some questions about the program? I'm not able to PM here just yet

Any word??

One of my co workers showed me her rejection letter. It looked very similar to their FAQ about the average GPA and average ICU experience of people accepted.

Yeah i wonder if it was just a generic response that wasn't necessarily what happened this year. According to a previous post it sounded like everyone had already been accepted but maybe they haven't finished but are just sending rejection letters as they rule people out. I'm super anxious now and check my mail everyday. Did your friends online app status change at all??

When i saw the rejections atlas it was a lot nicer then rejections I have gotten (mainly don't contact us and reflect on your application to see what you can improve) or admissions committee met and you weren't chosen.

My friend told me his status never changed.

So two people on this thread have a coworker that has received a rejection letter? I applied a few months before the deadline and am anxiously awaiting word. No letters as of yet so if multiple people are receiving them, then I guess there is still hope. And if ramps up my anxiety!

I agree with you about the anxiety being ramped up by not receiving a rejection letter yet. Is that a good thing? Am i just getting my hopes up?? I just want some closure at this point! LOL. Dammit, I literally just saw the mailman just up the road headed my way Commence diarrhea sequence....

I am signed up for Informed Delivery through USPS. I get an email every morning telling me what is being delivered that day. So far, no rejection letter today!
