Augusta University 2019 CRNA Applicants

Published

Has anybody else applied to Augusta University for the doctoral anesthesia program starting in 2019? Looking to start a discussion regarding the application/acceptance process.

I figured I had nothing to lose, so I called Ms. Lewis today. She said verbal offers went out to the top 30. Whether you weren't accepted or were placed on alternate list, that letter will come by the end of the month.

Oh sorry. Just saw above post. They will come via snail mail, not email. I did ask her that.

I'll be waiting on my pony express letter then! Thanks for passing that along

Hi everyone! I have a quick question for current students or those who interviewed. Someone mentioned at the interview that our classes would be tuesday-thursday in the afternoon, but I don't remember if the faculty confirmed this during the presentation. I currently live about 2.5 hours away from Augusta, so I was just curious if that was in fact true because it would certainly be nice to be able to go home on the weekends. Thanks for any input you all have, and I look forward to meeting everyone!!

In the first semester especially, classes were limited to Tues-Thur in the afternoons with occasional mornings. This (Summer) semester, we have some Mondays and Fridays as well, (6 total out of 11 weeks). Schedule for fall hasn't dropped yet but I would assume we will be adding more labs and OR observations and things as we go. We do have a few students who commute everyday, some who stay during the week and go home on weekends but I would consider the toll this takes and time away from studying. I'll let you know what our commuters think after Summer. My nursing program had a summer semester and it is kind of hell to pack a semester into 11 weeks (normal semesters are 16). I will add, too, that the program is dynamic and subject to change based on how the faculty feels like things are working, so I wouldn't make any decisions banking on anything I've said as it could change. Basically CRNA school is meant to be your priority and while they understand that life still happens outside of school, you are expected to show up whenever/ wherever.

Anyone accepted for the top 30 not accepting a seat and going a different route?

I did, but I already started applying to other schools. Curious if everyone is taking their acceptance to AU or not
