Columbia University CRNA 2018

[wannabeecrna]

Has anyone applied to Columbia University's CRNA program for 2018? Anyone have an interview yet?

I interviewed as well & it was very different than what I was expecting/had read online. They asked a lot of clinical questions that were pretty basic but under pressure seemed difficult to answer. I was in Dr. Greco's room & felt similar in that I don't think it went as well as hoped. I hope we find out soon. What time were you there Friday?

I was there on Thursday. I had to be there at 7am. It was different than I read online too. I think they tried to change it up. In the open house a few months ago, Dr. Greico mentined he would be changing it up. The clinical questions were basic but when you are put on the spot they seem difficult. I belive I answered them correctly but not sure. Dr. Grieco moved the interview along so there was no time to really quesiton yourself. I tried my hardest. I really want to go there but if Idont get in I'll try again next year. The program has a great reputation and the students we met said Dr. Greico is very known and involved in the anesthesia community which helps the program out. Fingers crossed.Hope we all get in!

You're not alone! Myself & many other people who interviewed with me on Friday feel the same way so don't be too hard on yourself! Hopefully we all did better than we think :)

Hmm, maybe because it's private. Search Kevin William Chavez on facebook and send me a message. Should be a picture with my fiancée on my back ha

Also, include in the message your email address that you use for Facebook so I can send an invite.

TDCAR did you get in? I was there on Thursday too and interviewed with Dr. Shambo. She had a flat affect so didn't know where I stood. I told my BF that I didn't get in. Well, see you all next summer!

Hi do you guys mind sharing your nursing school GPA, experience, and what you think made you stick out from the other applicants as far as getting an interview is concerned. I'm really interested in Columbia's CRNA program and would love you're feedback. Thanks and good luck to everyone.

Has anyone heard anything about the Columbia nurse anesthesia program switching from masters to doctorate for the 2019 cohort? I can't seem to find anything about it online, but I remember reading something in one of Columbia's newsletters. Thanks in advance for your help!
