CRNA Applications

If you repeat the exact same course at the same institution, only the higher grade is included in the GPA. If you can score well on the GRE that will help you at programs that use it for admissions.

If that was the case my overall GPA would become 3.19 and my science GPA would be 3.84. Would that be competitive enough if I score a 300 on the GRE.

It depends on the school. Some schools require that in order to replace a grade you need to retake the same class at the same institution, while others substitute the grade with a similar course. Your GPA and certifications look good. Maybe work on the overall GPA but the math/science seem fine. The GRE would be helpful, and scoring a 300+ would look good.

You have the minimum experience for ICU. Often, schools seem to like people with 3-5 years experience. Do you work SICU at the level 1?

I would definitely apply as even if you don’t get in, reapplicants are appreciated per the schools I am applying to (shows commitment and dedication to becoming a CRNA).

It often comes down to what the applicant pool looks like though. You could be very qualified and still not get in because other people are better qualified.

apply, keep you chin up, be patient and good luck!
