CRNA admission

[PTach00]

Has anyone applied for a CRNA program and received an email offer to start the program earlier? For example, applying for class of 2019 but getting offered a seat for class of 2018?

I doubt it, usually by the time you apply and go through the interviewing/acceptance process, the previous class is already a semester or more ahead and there is no way you would catch up. Plus clinicals are already starting by that point so it would be impossible to meet requirements that fast. The one exception might be if you already have the grad classes done for some reason, but I've never heard of this happening, you're still placed in the year you applied for.

Yes, this happened to two of my classmates. At my school we have an early decision application cycle and a normal cycle. Typically, you start the year after regardless of which one you apply for, you just find out sooner. But two of my classmates interviewed in July of last year to start this coming August, but our director let them start with us the following month. I would say it's extremely rare, but it happens.
