Hey! I did not see a thread for nurses applying to Baylor's CRNA program for 2018 so I decided to start one.I am applying to Baylor and UTHSC - Houston for classes starting in 2018. I have been watching these blogs for three years now, and I cannot believe I am ready to apply. I think my stats are average and am hoping to snag an interview. I taught high school for 8 years and have a MA in Math Education. 2nd career nurse! I am on here everyday. Hopefully some of us will be classmates in the future.
GPA: 3.4
GRE: 297 (yep taking this again before applications are due)
CVICU: 1 year 6 months to date (I will have 2 years when I submit my application)
Night and day between UT and Baylor. I felt more intimidated with UT even though the process is short and sweet. Sitting front and center was more nerve racking for me because I don't like "public speaking" and I felt like I was on stage giving a speech. I felt the interview went well but at both school I had questions that stumped me. Baylor had a mix between clinical, personal, and off the wall questions. UT I got a couple personal questions and mostly clinical but I couldn't believe how short it was and then your done. I was left feeling like I needed more time to show them what I know and why it should be me they choose. Now we just wait and see.
I am on the waitlist for Baylor. Wish me good lucks haha. I wonder how many people will choose UT over Baylor.... Did anyone on the waitlist get accepted last year?
IKjjuni366. I am also alternate listed at Baylor, accepted to TCU and interviewed at UT on the 27th. I know someone that was alternate listed last year at Baylor and got a call for acceptance a week later... he didn't take the spot. He said he felt like there were other places that fit him better. I believe there will be spots open up at Baylor the question is will you take the spot at Baylor if you do get into UT before then.
I also wonder where I should click to check my admission status. I logged into my UTH and it shows that my admission status is complete with a green dot.
