Applying to CRNA school before BSN conferred?

Hi! I'm beginning the process of applying to CRNA schools and my top picks have deadlines this Summer. I was wondering if anyone has applied to CRNA school before their BSN was conferred? Mine will be done in August and the schools I'm applying to have a deadline in July.

Is this common? Has anyone done it or have advice? I have three years of nursing experience in an ICU, so that isn't an issue. Just the timelines that I'm wondering if they'll accept. 

Thanks to anyone with advice 🙂

I'm in the same predicament. First time applicant applying with several years of ICU, ER, and UPC activity but my BSN will not be complete until after the deadline for my priority school. Have reached out to the enrollment coordinators and awaiting a response back.

I have received confirmation that if selected for admission that it will be a provisional acceptance and I can submit the BSN after the deadline! Good luck with your process!
