Looks impressive! What about gre scores?? You should easily get interviews to most schools

[SIguy_RN]

Thank you!!

I have not taken the GRE as the schools I applied to require the CCRN in place of the GRE.

Just wondering if anyone else has input please feel free to share

Don't sell yourself short. Apply to schools that will give you the best experience and enable you to market yourself versus your physician counterpart. If some of those require GRE, I would get it out of the way and apply. I think you'll get interviews at just about any school - after that it's all up to your interview skills as to whether you're accepted or not. Get some really good references to match your competitive stats.

Thank you for that advice, I do have three really solid references who submitted for me.
