Crna competitiveness

Forgot I also have organic chem and genetics.

Don't go to Wolford.

Yeah. Wolford seems way too sketch this semester.

You have a great shot. You'll get in.

You'll have a great shot with those stats! And shouldnt have a problem getting in somewhere. I'm not familiar with those schools, but my only suggestion would to be to just do your research on school specific interview questions(if available, general questions are sufficient). Good luck!

You do not have a very good shot to get into a strong program. Your grades are just middle of the pack, so you will need much more experience to be competitive, not to mention a stronger SRNA. One year is just not enough. You might get accepted to one of the puppy mills, but not a strong program, and you don't want that. Good Luck.

P.S. Stay FAR away from Wolford until they get regionally accredited, not just accredited by the COA, but by a regionally accreditation body.

CRNA schools are no longer competitive. Just apply; you will get in

I appreciate the replies ladies and gents

What programs do you consider a strong program and what do you consider "puppy mills?" Never heard that term before.

In my opinion a strong program has a history of a few things: low attrition rate over a 5-10 year period, high pass rate for first time test takers, good reputation among students, good reputation among local and participating clincal sites, and lastly accreditation is 5-10 years. But that is just my opinion

They should not have huge class size. They should not be scrambling to find clinical sites for all their students at the last minute. Their attrition rate should be low. They should offer CRNA only sites through which to rotate. They should have hands opportunity for blocks and spinals and epidurals. There should be no need to ever worry about your numbers, any of your numbers. If the program constantly tells you how tough, hard, and rigorous they are, I would run away. If the program tells you to study for your interview, I would look elsewhere. If the current students aren't allowed to speak with prospective students freely and openly, I would look elsewhere. If the program is owned and ran by a Med group, I would look elsewhere. If they are not regionally accredited, I would look elsewhere. Of course there can be exceptions, but these should be at least some of the indicators of which prospective students to research. Carefully!!! Good luck.

Thanks pappa, I think I covered most of that with all the schools minus wolford of course since they aren't accredited and ran by a med group.
