Congrats on getting an interview. I have one at ASU on Nov 5th at 8:00AM. I have heard that there is a written test that we have to take and that we will spend time interviewing with the director. I do not know any other specifics. Good luck on your interview. As for the program, I have a friend in it now and he loves it and highly recommends it to anyone.

I interviewed at ASU about a year ago. The interview is laid back. I started out in a room answering test type questions. These are the questions that will be asked in each of the interview rooms. When I interviewed there were three rooms. Two rooms with two students currently in the program, and one room with the director and a student. One room focused on how you will handle the stress of the program and personality. Another room focused on physiology and drugs. The third room focused on pulmonary issues. pretty laid back in my opinion, but still stressful!

I decided to attend a different program, so do not have much info on how the program is.

The interview went well. Most of the stress that I felt was me putting it on myself. Everyone was friendly and I really learned a lot about the program in talking with some of the students that were there doing the interviewing.

I interviewed in Nov and here is how mine went:

I started out in a room with other interviewees where a written test was given to me. There is also a Powerpoint presentation that answers many questions about the program (such as clinical sites, how many students they are accepting, and when to expect to be notified of acceptance). They will call you from this room to go to one of your three interviews.

One room had a CRNA and two students currently in the program. This room focused on physiology and medications.

The second room had an instructor and a student and focused on your personality, how you handle stress, and how you have prepared for the saacrifices that you will have to make through school (such as finances). Be honest in your answers.

The third room had the director and two students and this was a "just getting to know you" type of interview. It was very laid back and it seemed like they just wanted to find out a little about me.

One other thing. My interview was at 8:00AM and I was done at 9:30AM. In talking with students at the interview, I was told that these early interviews are the best to get because they get backed up. One student said that his interview was scheduled at 1:00PM and he didn't get done until 6:00PM (sat around waiting for most of it).

I was accpeted to the program, but I decided to attend another school. I really liked the program and the people that I met there, but the program I decided to attend worked out better with my family. I would highly recommend ASU.

Good luck on your interview and I hope this will be helpful to you.
