Hi everyone! Starting a thread for Columbia University (NY) CRNA 2024. Post any updates here!
vicpete550 said:can anyone share how many people applied to columbia and how many got in? also if anyone could share their stats such as GPA regardless if they got in or not. thanks
Not sure how many applied but we were told roughly 60 selected to be interviewed for 20 seats. There are 2 additional seats that automatically go to the LEAP program students. My stats are undergrad 3.7 overall GPA, 3.9 science GPA with 3.9 GPA for graduate degree. Over 3 years ICU experience. I was waitlisted.
hi! for all those accepted! we've created a facebook group!

excited to meet you guys!!
For anyone who did not get accepted - I was rejected last year after my interview and was accepted this year! Keep your head up, do some work this year to show the admission panel your commitment to becoming a CRNA (ex. take some science courses or a grad level class, get involved in research, shadow a CRNA more than just 8 hrs, precept and be in charge as much as you can), and try again next year! If this is your dream, don't give up!

Where did you take your grad level courses?

I only took one grad level class, it was through Barry University. I'm sure plenty of state schools offer grad level classes as well - just be sure to check with admissions on if the class will count toward the program requirements or not
