Arkansas State University CRNA 2022 Cohort

Updated:   Published

Didn't see a thread on here for 2022 CRNA cohort at Arkansas State University. Deadline to apply was October 1, but has anyone been called for interview? Trying to figure out if I'm even going to get an interview without nagging the school...I just need to know so I can get on with my life! Trying to be patient, but the waiting game is getting to me. Any update, good news or bad news, would be appreciated at this point! Also, those that do get interviewed/accepted to this program, can you post your stats?

I’m hoping for a call. Has anyone else not taken that upper level prerequisite course yet. I read in previous years they didn’t hold it against you for not taking it, just had to get it done before the program started. I’m pretty worried not having it will knock me out of the running. 

I took mine through ASU and finished beginning of Oct. I'm not sure if it's required before an interview can be extended. I know when I submitted my application a few weeks later I got an email saying they were reviewing my packet and were requesting my transcript for the stats course. If you're enrolled in the course maybe you can submit your grades up to this point to meet the requirement?

Has anyone that has been contacted for an interview received the email with more information yet? I was contacted Tuesday morning and still haven't gotten anything. Also, does anyone know if they are still planning for a June start date? All the information on the program website says "June" and "Summer," that's a quick turnaround with interviews starting mid January.

Hi, not yet. I asked her about instructions and she said it would be after the break. 
I also have been reading last year’s thread. They got their interview on October and 2 rounds of it. So I think this year alot different. I wonder how long would it take us to hear back about the result from the interview.

I took the upper level statistic at ASU, and finished last October, I love the instructor (Dr. Shaw), but I heard you don’t have to, you just have to get it done before the classes start. Got a friend who took the stat level with me, but he hasn’t got contacted for the interview yet. I believe they’re still calling people.

Just to clarify ASU (Arkansas State University)

Good to know they won't be sending out the email until after the break. Previous class threads mentioned they were receiving emails of acceptance roughly 2 weeks after the interviews. I suppose our class should expect the same. I'm not sure how many days or people will be interviewed, so I'm sure that will play a factor too. The last data I saw said ASU interviews around 80-100 "qualified" applicants and accepts 40 with a running waitlist.

Congrats guys. 
 

I had a quick question. My interview is coming up and I was wondering, since the interview is in person. Any time saving, cost effective suggestions on how to get to Jonesboro. Which airport? Little Rock? Memphis?

I live in downtown Memphis and the drive there isn’t bad at all (1 hour), not sure from Little Rock though. Maybe if you’re not from around, come to Memphis so you can get a good BBQ. ?. Memphis could be fun and we are number 1 the most dangerous city in the nation right now ???

I know Ssomeone who has graduated from ASU and currently talk with someone IN the program now. They have nothing but negative things to say. It may be cheap but if you have other options choose anywhere but ASU.   PM if you have more questions

Bethany,

I found that in every single thing these days, no matter how good / excellent the service is, you just simply can’t please everyone.

Someone would just show negativity anywhere they go, it’s just up to you to keep pushing and learn to be the best no matter what obstacle you face. Because I got multiple friends who just simply loving it there also. 

I wish you the best luck, and let me know if I could be a help in any way possible. We love you and wish you the best in your future endeavors.
