CRNA Application

Firstly I apologize for yet another question regarding CRNA school applications and GPA. However, I'm not sure how my GPA will affect my chances of applying to CRNA school:

I live in NY and completed my BSN in 2014 with a GPA of 3.54. Prior to that, I graduated with an associate degree and a 3.8 GPA. The problem arises when considering my cumulative GPA. When I was 19 I attended a private school and left with a GPA of 1.88 after partying way too much and flunking out. That was over 10 years ago. Unfortunately, if those grades are considered my cumulative GPA is 2.8, yikes!

I know that a cumulative GPA of 2.8 makes me a poor candidate. However, I am currently working in ICU and plan to continue to work in ICU for at least 5 years. I have scored competitively in my GRE, and I am taking graduate level nursing courses with all A's so far. If this continues, is CRNA school still a possibility?

I am a good student and hate to think that bad decisions made a decade ago when I was a teenager will forever ruin my chances of being a CRNA. I would love any and all input, please!

    I don't think you'll have a problem getting in somewhere if you get good ICU xp,good GRE score, CCRN, and take grad classes like pathophysiology and pharmacology. While it is possible that some schools will toss out your app just bc your cumulative GPA is less than 3 I think they typically look at the whole application. If you keep up the good work it will be quite obvious to the adcom that those early grades are not reflective of your competence and commitment now. Also, there are a number of schools that only look at your last 60credits.good luck!

    Thanks for the input. I hope I can find one in NY or CT with this policy....
