Updated:   Published

What Members Are Saying (AI-Generated Summary)

Members are discussing their experiences with being waitlisted for a CRNA program, sharing updates on the number of spots left and when they may hear back. Some members are also discussing changes to a course in the program and expressing hope and optimism about potentially getting off the waitlist.

Wanted to start thread because I have not come across a forum for the CRNA 2025 application deadline. Good luck to those applying!

Hey guys! So I just got an email from the admission adviser  in regards to when they will be calling for interviews. They said they are currently review applications and if deemed "competitive" they will be calling for interview in the fall. 

Have you heard anything back from them? When did you apply?

Sure! My GPA I believe is only like 3.4 not the strongest. but I been an RN for 3 years. 
1 Year as an OR nurse, I was the clinical nurse coordinator for Ortho/Spine 

2 Years at a very high acuity oncology medical/surgical ICU, where I am charge and rapid response team lead. I do CRRT as well and I'm president of the RSI committee. 

I am sure they will reach out to you. What are your stats?

Specializes in ICU/CCU.

Is anyone applying with a previous bachelors degree ? I got my first degree in bio where I finished with barely a 3.0.  My ABSN degree was a 3.51 but with nursing cas it brought my overall to a 3.25 so I'm nervous. Would they just look at my BSN GPA ?

I wouldn't worry too much about GPA, they seem to look at their candidates very holistically, which is refreshing. There are other things you can do to boost your application if you have a lower GPA. Such as being charge, preceptor, take high acuity patients such as CRRT, Impella, IABP, be part of committees, take graduate level courses etc

They give preference to the last 60 hrs.

My mybarry was updated and added the CRNA program listed as my intended program, and may 2025 as the start year. Hopefully that means I'm being reviewed and will hear back soon.

How many shadow hours did you guys do? This is the only thing missing for me so I'm trying to see if I can squeeze them in before the deadline otherwise I might just wait for next cycle.
