Hello all!

With the start of the application cycle for Barry being right around the corner, I wanted to start this thread so we can all communicate and hopefully be future classmates! Good luck to everyone! ?

Thanks everyone! Will keep pushing — not my first obstacle in this nursing career and won’t be my last! I’m going to try and take a few more science courses to strengthen my GPA. I was barely a 3.0 cumulative. I’ve been in school so long and some classes from over 10 years ago makes it hard to get my GPA moving. Hoping a few grad courses will help with that. 

I totally understand that! I got a 1.7 my first semester of college and it definitely took some work to move that up but it’s also so doable! Best of luck with your future endeavors!

Do not give up keep persevering thru and thanks again for sharing

I submitted late August and still have not heard back yet, besides an email saying my application was in the next pile to be reviewed

Wow.. 6 months? That’s kind of ridiculous. Were you waitlisted and then denied? 

I know it was crazy. That’s why I don’t want to reapplied.

Did anyone submit the shadowing form? I’m confused because there is a shadowing form on their website and they say it needs to be completed, but I can’t find that same form on the application through nursing cas, and I don’t see a spot that specifically asks for it to be uploaded. All I’m seeing is a question saying “did you shadow a CRNA”

 

Is anyone else having this issue? I called the school and left a message on Monday but haven’t heard back yet. I’m wondering how y’all have been contacting them with questions?

I didn’t submit a shadowing form. I included my shadowing experience in my CV :)

If I remember correctly the app said you can upload the form under the document upload section. I didn't use their form because I had another form already filled out.

I’m wondering if any of you have insight on GRE prep? I take my test Tuesday and I am so overwhelmed by the math section. I’ve been studying with the test prep and practice questions on the ets website which has been a good refresher and I understand a lot of it. 
 But I also feel like there are so many complex questions and the content is so vast that even if I studied for months I still wouldn’t be ready… However, the few people I know who have taken it said they hardly studied and got an average score around the 300’s and made alot of educated guesses. 

I guess I’m just looking for further insight/experiences. Obviously not about the test content itself but what you used to study, if you had a similar experience, words of encouragement, etc. Thanks y’all!

@Nicu1121 Hello do you mind if I ask you what we’re your stats. It’s OK if you don’t wish to answer…I was just curious because I also submitted my application and I have not taken the GRE yet so I wanted to know if I have a chance at being interviewed thanks

Just got a call to interview! Does anyone know if they are more clinical based or EI questions? So nervous/excited!

Do you mind me asking when you submitted your application? I submitted on the 11th of this month so I’m just trying to get a feel for whether or not they are extending interviews for recent submissions yet.

I submitted back in early September, had my interview on Friday, I feel it went well. Is anyone interviewing this week, or did anyone last week hear anything yet? I know they said it could take 1-2 weeks. They said they would notify by email. They were very nice in the interview, they asked a little bit about everything if anyone is curious.
