CRNA School Waitlist

Hi everyone!

I was waitlisted to my top CRNA program.
After I received the decision, I emailed the director immediately, thanked them for the opportunity to be on the waitlist, and shared how that school was my top program. 
Do you guys have any advice/tips/recommendations on being on the waitlist? How to stand out and being the first pick? I think I remember them saying that the waitlist isn't ranked so I just wanted to ask - Thank you all in advance!  ☺️

Congrats on being waitlisted to your top CRNA program. Did they provide you with feedback as to why you were waitlisted ?

Thank you for the kind words! 

The director did reply back to me, but unfortunately said that they could not offer any feedback to applicants. Bummer. But it's okay - I will continue to remain hopeful! ?

Woo hoo! Love your attitude and optimism! A waitlist is a GREAT sign that you have what it takes to get into your top-choice school! It's them saying "Yes we want you if only we had more space!" 

?

Cheering you on!! 

PS- You already did great by replying and indicating your appreciation for the WL spot; if there's any updates to your stats, ie you have an awesome shadowing experience, get a new leadership role etc be sure to email them to touch base and update them ?

You got this!
