I am very dissapointed in the way the program is run.
From a didactic point of view, they accept more than necessary and than the class is trimmed (30% drop rate). That's unfair to the students that shouldn't be here - they spend time and money pursuing something that is out of reach for them.
In clinicals, they have too many students in the OR's. More than 60% of rooms have two students all the time. (you are not getting the clinical exposure needed).
This crowding was my main concern before accepting their offer. I should have gone to any other school that accepted me (other schools accept 12 students/yr, and have 20 or more OR's) where student numbers are less than the available OR's.
The last 3 classes accepted have been between 36 and 43 students per class. ... and they accept 2 classes each year !
To top it off, as of today, half of their CRNA's have graduated in the past 18 months, and they cannot be the best instructors b/c they're not experienced enough.
In conclusion, I am very dissapointed with the program.
Good luck and don't forget: during the interview process, "smile and look cuddly, boys!".
