Fairfield University CRNA 2024

Updated:   Published

I submitted my app to Fairfield University's May 2024 CRNA program, just thought I'd start the forum now for everyone. 

Specializes in ICU.

I wonder if already having matriculated from their nursing program has any weight on the early decisions since they would already have ties to the school admins?

I wonder how they already got accepted. like how does the school know there arent even more qualified candidates towards the last few interviews? So interested to know what these students said or did so I can do better next time LOL

 

I talked with the administrative assistant while I was waiting to go in for the interview and she said it has to do with whether they REALLY want to accept that candidate before they possibly get taken by a different program.

No. That's impossible. I haven't been accepted early.

LOL... I attended a mock interview once and the person running it was like every candidate is graded based on certain criteria. I am guessing the early acceptances are those who scored high throughout the interview process.... ??‍♀️

Someone must've been paid off?! #LoriLoughlin...But seriously Id say a large portion is just how you present outright. There's the whole interview process but I think your "energy" and how you initially present in the first 10min is a huge determinant. But that might just be me sounding a pinch pessimistic as I continue to refresh my emails every 5 minutes

100% this. You got an interview, so your stats speak for themselves. I felt like they were more interested in getting to know me as a person than they were as a clinician.

Oh man. I knew being socially inept would come back to haunt me one day.

I'm an introvert myself and I mangaged to get a spot. I just practiced a lot and made sure I interviewed early. I didn't walk in there with the most confidence. I barely slept the night before secondary to nerves. I honestly made sure I had an answer for every question the threw at me. I looked everyone in the eyes. I greeted everyone coming in. I broke the ice with some humor. I shook everyone's hand at the end of the day. I also wrote a personalized thank you letter for each member of the panel avout 24 hours later. Overall I felt good, but not great. In retrospect, I know that I definitely had a genuine answer ready and when it came to the scenario questions, I thought out loud. Above all, I credit God. I honestly hope this helps. There are a few days left, so don't lose hope.
