CRNA application for Barry University May 2020

Updated:   Published

Applying to Barry University Nurse Anesthesia Program for May 2020 cohort!! My GPA 3.89, ACLS/BLS/CCRN certified, 4 years of medical ICU experience.

Studying to take the GRE in May!

I am so nervous to apply. I am not good at standardized test.

What are other ppl stats? Do you think I'll get an interview.

It’s cool. I got My rejection email yesterday. good luck to you all! And congratulations

I’m sorry to hear that. But i was shocked that you didn’t get in. You seemed to have a solid background. Did they tell you what was wrong with your application??

i will be in the same position as you. Will have my fnp when i apply for barry crna; maybe 1.5-2yrs of icu exp. by matriculation. My bsn gpa is 3.0 and msn hopefully 3.8-4.0 gpa. I cant move out of state/city due to kids. Now, im losing hope of getting in.

Hey everyone . Not sure if it was answered already and I am sorry if I missed it:

1. Does your NursingCAS change from verified when they start looking into your application ?
2. I did not hear anything from the program yet . Should be of concern? Anyone else waiting for a response from them ?

thank you

I saw that you have 3.91 gpa for your msn. I don’t mean to nag you, but may I know what your bsn gpa is like? Maybe they factored it in? I am getting anxious because I have really low bsn gpa despite a good msn gpa and can’t afford to move cities. With your solid background, I know you will make it. Maybe not in Barry, but in another uni of your choice!

Mine did not change from verified. I called them for an update to see what was going on with my application. The lady told me that mine was currently under review but could not say anything more. I got a call later that day for an interview.

I just interviewed! It was a mix of clinical and get to know you questions. I’m so excited to hear back! Good luck to everyone who interviewed so far! My stats are 3.6 BSN GPA. 149/149/3.5 GRE. 2.5 years ICU experience. CCRN certified. I know my GRE is low and GPA isn’t great so hopefully they like my charming personality! ? Anyone else waiting to hear back??

Hi everyone!

I am currently taking ANE695 with Barry University.

I am looking for advice on how best to prepare for the final, any advice is appreciated!

Thank you in advance! I will probably be applying for the next year cycle, trying to save a little more cash before I start
