Drexel SRNA hopeful...

[Beachie27]

I have recently applied to Drexel, Villanova, Upenn and Jefferson's CRNA programs. I'm super anxious to hear back.

Experience:

8 years in OR

5 years CVOR

currently in CVICU/ICU (will have 2 years by the start of the program)

ACLS

CNOR

MSN

GPA 3.6

sigma theta tau member

great letters of recommedation from anesthesiologists and surgeons I work with.

I also have already spoken with Wells Fargo and have everything I can submitted for my medcap loan to pay for my schooling.

Do do you think I have a chance of getting an interview?! I want this so badly! Woo!

If anyone has gotten accepted to these schools I'd love to hear from you!

Thanks!

You sound like a great candidate.

Your stats look fine, but do you have a reference from one or more CRNAs?

[Beachie27]

No. It wouldn't be an issue getting one. Do you think this would benefit me?

You want to become a CRNA, but you don't have any references from a CRNA?. I just saw one applicant not get chosen for that very reason, so I think it definitely is a must.

Would you apply to medical school without a physician reference or any other profession without someone in that profession as a reference/mentor?

I know you have spent plenty of time working in the OR, but have spent a couple of days just shadowing a CRNA?

These are all things that some admission committees are going to want to know and it can only make your application stronger.

I just spoke to one of the crna's I work with and she is going to write me one. She also graduated from Drexel 3 years ago. So it may help! Thank you!
