Thank you, when is your interview!

Oct 3rd. I can’t remember how many dates they had available now (it all happened so fast) but she did say they only allot 10 slots for people a day to interview.

Thanks! It was by phone. The woman said she would be sending out emails to people on Monday

@Mr.KCRNA will you be traveling for your interview or are you local?

Also have you heard what the interview is like, I can’t find much online about it. I know a few years back they had a general ICU based quiz at the end. Just curious if they are still doing that.

Interview here! I chose November 7... she said they had two days in october and two days in November to choose from. My understanding was that they interview 60 people overall but I could be wrong.

The quiz really makes me nervous!

Congrats on the interview!! And yes, from the past I remember everyone saying they only interview 60 people and choose 30 to accept into the program. So if this is true our odds are pretty good. But, if there are only 4 dates and she told me there are only 10 slots per date that means they are only interviewing 40 people? Hmm

also, the test makes me a bit nervous too. Kinda the wild card out of the interview.

Congrats!! Did she say how many dates were still available? I was called last Friday and have since been thinking to switch my date.

Last week she said that I could choose from 10/3, 10/17, 10/24, 11/7 or 11/14. So I am sure those dates are still available.

AspiringCRNA22, BSN · Sep 9, 2019

I just called and only date still available is 11/14.. I can’t wait that long haha so I’m keeping my original date.

She also said we are correct, 60 people are interviewed and 30 get accepted. She said the other 30 go onto a “waitlist.”

is anyone traveling far for the interview? I am from Alabama so I’ll be flying in. Where is everyone from?

Oh wow those filled up fast. I probably wouldn't wait that long either. I hope we find out whether we are in or not by Christmas.

I am from Pittsburgh! What made you choose this school so far away from Alabama?

AspiringCRNA22, BSN · Sep 9, 2019

Hopefully we should find out shortly after the last interview date!

But, I got a late start to applying this year and the schools closer to home had early application deadline dates. And I didn’t take my GRE so I looked for schools that didn’t require it. But I’m always up for a little traveling.
