Do you think I Can get into CRNA School?

Hi, I am currently a CVICU RN with 10 months of ICU experience, 1 year of high acuity cardiac Stepdown experience that applied to CRNA school at Augusta University. My Stats are the following: 

GPA: 3.78 Cumulative, 3.52 Science

CCRN, BLS, ACLS, PALS

10 Months CVICU (ECMO/Mechanical Circulatory Support/Transplants/High Acuity Cardiac Surgery), 1 year of High Acuity CCU Stepdown and floated to CCU.

Other Jobs: Volunteer RN at Free Standing Clinic for those underinsured (700 hrs), Covid Vaccinator/Tester (1 year), Restaurant Manager (5 years)

Do you think I have a chance at getting in to CRNA school or at least get an interview?

    Maybe. You are on the bottom of the pole experience wise and applying to ONE school limits your chances.

    You need to apply to more and be willing to move if you want the highest shot.

    Yes this is true, but the only reason why I only applied to this particular school is because they are willing to take my lack of experience.

    I think you have strong stats; yes, there will be people with more experience than you but if you have a strong resume and personal statement, you can land an interview (presuming they're a program that allows applicants to apply with less than 1 year ICU experience so long as they have it by matriculation). 

    You want to make sure you ACE that interview to get that yes acceptance. We have some awesome resources to help you do that. 

    If you don't happen to get an interview invite this round, take it as a learning experience and don't give up! As the commenter above said, expanding your application pool would help. Of course, if the program you applied to doesn't have a limit on how many times you can apply, I'd encourage you to apply there again next year too. 

    Cheering you on-- you got this!!
