Columbia CRNA 2020

Updated:   Published

Hello all,

I wanted to start a thread for any perspective applicants for Columbia's Anesthesia program for 2020. I submitted my application last week and wanted to hear if anyone was called for interviews yet.

My stats: ADN 3.7 BSN 4.0 CCRN, CMC, CRNI, BLS/ACLS instructor, recently promoted to unit clinician. 2.5 years of Cardiac ICU in a large level 1 teaching hospital. (of note: went to school close to 10 years and have poor grades)

Good luck to everyone!

Specializes in PCICU, Cardiac Cath Lab.

For those reapplying next year (or for any of those who have any words of advice): I am wanting to retake one of my science courses I did not so great in - is it better to take the course at the undergraduate level? Or graduate school level?

Specializes in Critical Care.

I took Some grad courses just to bolster my app. I think it shows that you put in time and it demonstrates that you can successfully matriculate in a grad courses.

We should create a group for those who are reapplying lol
did anyone reapplied from last year?

Do you mind sharing who you took the grad courses through? Were they online by chance?

Barry University. They have an online course that they require people to take before getting admitted to their CRNA program. It’s like a pre-anesthesia grad chem course, and it’s online.

Just got the call from Dr. Massie! I’ve been accepted ? She said that this was a VERY competitive year! Best of luck to everyone!
