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

Yeah I've been SICU for over 2 years and ED before. all devices + CCRN, publications etc. sounds like my first degree GPA and science GPA are my barriers. even though I retook science classes over

Don't lose hope. I worked in the OR with lots of CRNAs, and they all said to cast a wide net. What one school is looking for may not be what another one is. Reach out to the school and see if they can fill you in on the areas you could strengthen, and then throw that net back out there. And as always, when you get to where you're supposed to be, hindsight will have the insight. ??

To those who are interviewing, would you be able to share your stats?
