Drexel University CRNA May 2025

Updated:   Published

Hi, just applied for Drexel's CRNA program and I'm so nervous, IDK how my app will do against many applicants. 

  • Pre Reqs at Community college GPA: 3.66
  • Diploma RN GPA 2.6 (family death for the best of me)
  • BSN GPA 3.89
  • Science GPA: 4.0
  • Certs- TNCC, CCRN, PALS, ACLS 
  • I've been LPN 5 Years, PICU nurse 2 years. 

Do you guys think I have a chance? Also how long after applying did you hear back? What was the interview like? I'm praying so hard I get in! 

Specializes in PICU.

When I emailed them, that's when I found out about the deadline of 3/31

I was waiting for the final grade of an extra science course to boost my application. I guess that might have backfired. I thought I remembered reading Drexel doesn't finalize their cohort until late Summer so I thought I had time. Guess we will see

I think that La Salle was relatively new to transitioning when they interviewed the last class recently. They are in their first semester now. But, they did receive 10 years of accreditation for their new program. And after reviewing their course curriculum, it still seems to be solid and intensive and focused. When I researched the accreditation it says they have 20 clinical sites on board. I can't imagine that they wouldn't be prepared. Maybe the sim lab was empty since it was the new start. I think all nursing programs are short staffed for education. I wouldn't be surprised if Drexel also has this issue. I'm applying to only the schools that allow you to work for the first year or so to save up some more money. I have been preparing for my interviews this weekend. It's a struggle being a night shifter and getting back to normal on days off. I hope that we hear something soon. I would think it would be relatively soon. In terms of the Drexel deadline, I also only knew about the 03/31 deadline through email. It is not posted anywhere. I would imagine they are going through tons of applications. Has to be a rough time.

Do you have the questions? I have a packet of questions of interview questions from CRNA prep academy if you want them

I don't have the questions. I was just using a general search and a book I used in undergrad. That would be so nice of you.

Congrats Scarlet Rose! Although it was so good to see you and meet you at LaSalle! I am hoping to get an email soon from Drexel! Did they send it as an email? I have a feeling it's coming this week for me too! But you applied about a month earlier than me. 😊
