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'm married, have adult daughters (2) and a dog. I'm so nervous to find out if I will get accepted; feels like torture (the wait). Anyone else as nervous as I? I can hardly wait until May.... counting down the days....

The interview panel consists of the Anesthesia faculty, 4 professors as of now (we just got a new one this month, not sure if he will be there or not). Your interview will be 10 min ish. It seems like 2 minutes from what I remember. I believe it is still true that you are welcome to leave after your interview, so if you're in the early morning, you won't have to be here long. If you are in the afternoon, you'll be hanging out with current students, lunch provided if you opted in for that; we will just answering questions and talking about what our life is like.

Thank you! Someone earlier said acceptance ratio is 1:3. Is that about right?

Yes, this year they are interviewing around 90 applicants for 30 positions. It changes every year but that is correct for this year.

Any idea of the actual date they call for the top 30? I know it's the first week in May sometime but would prefer not to eat, sleep, work with my phone at all times.

Dr Broxton said today that they will make selections first week of May but they have to send it to the University and the university offers admission. Translation: letters won't go out until probably second week of May. I haven't heard whether they're calling this year. I know we got phone calls, and it was a random time of day. I was on night shift an I was dead asleep, but the number registered from Augusta so I answered. I would think if they do calls it would be first week of May, but no specific times. If you don't answer I'm sure they'll leave a message.

For anyone who is interviewing Monday, as for advice, just be comfortable and confident in yourself. Look professional, but be ready to sit in a room for several hours prior to your interview. Just be yourself, be confident but also humble. Be proud of what you have accomplished and ready to advocate for yourself, but also aware that every interviewee has the qualifications to be here too. Good luck!

Even though we were told the 1st week of May, I do know that they are sending out some acceptance letters a bit early (or at least one anyway). I have been accepted and can't wait to meet everyone in January. Good luck to everyone that has interviewed and has an upcoming interview. The faculty seems really down to earth and focused on the success of the students. I can't wait to get started with the program.

My interview was kind of short and I left it thinking I could have answered every question better. I think that's normal for most though.
