What Members Are Saying (AI-Generated Summary)

Members are discussing the application process and timeline for a specific program, sharing their experiences with submitting applications, receiving interview invitations, and ultimately getting accepted. Some members are concerned about not hearing back after submitting their applications, while others are sharing their acceptance stories and timelines, providing encouragement to those still waiting. There is also discussion about the interview process, campus locations, and the types of questions asked during interviews.

Hi all! This thread hasn't been started that I see. I am looking ahead at schools to apply this this next year. Barry is one of them. I'm having trouble locating a 600 level chemistry course... I haven't found a local university that teaches grad level chemistry with lab. If they do, I have to take some of their pre req classes.  Which would put me back in applying a lot. 
I called the office and I was told there are schools that do it, however I was not able to get any names. Any help or someone that can provide further explanation? None of the online schools teach graduate chemistry as well.
It seems they just changed this requirement in the middle of last years application cycle- per other threads.  They used to be okay with just general chem. 
 

"Successful completion (grade B or better) of one graduate-level college chemistry course (600 level and above) with a laboratory component. The course (not laboratory component) must have been taken within five years of beginning the Program. Organic chemistry or biochemistry is strongly preferred. In addition, one previous additional science/mathematics course (examples include anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, physics, genetics, statistics, and algebra) is required"

I did ask if the waitlist was ranked - which they said no. They said with each opening for a seat they will review the waitlist candidates and pick the strongest one if applicable 🤷‍♀️

Do you mind sharing your stats?

I hope you get in! I know the waiting must be frustrating but I hope it's worth it in the end. If you don't mind me asking, do you feel like your interview did not go well, and that it may be why you were waitlisted? The reason I'm asking is bc I interviewed, and I'm waiting to hear back but I'm nervous because I'm not sure how well I did. I think I answered the EI questions well but there was 2 clinical questions I got wrong.

Oh I felt like it was going bad the whole time LOL. I feel like I got A LOT of clinical questions - which I was expecting because I'm a NP already. So they hammered me about why CRNA now since you're already an NP. I also have some information I shouldn't have about my job, recently transferring to a different job and one particular person didn't seem to like that 🤷‍♀️  but I was able to transfer back to my old job since that seemed to be a heavy reason WHY I got waitlisted so we will see. I'm sure you did just fine! EVERYONE feels like they did terrible. I am sure you did great ☺️ And good luck!
