Thanks! Does anyone know if the program is hybrid? Is any part of the program online or are we expected to be on campus from semester 1?

Not sure if it'll be the same for you guys, but all of us in the 2020 cohort have been on campus since we started. We were doing online for about 3 weeks in Dec/early January. It's front loaded. You start off on campus for a couple semesters then leave for your clinical sites & switch to zoom lectures.

As far as the program, everyone in my cohort loves it & the professors are incredible. They are very good about working with students. Some can be more intimidating than others, ? but they're all here to help you become successful anesthetists. You definitely have to study & put the work in, it's far from miserable though.

I interviewed several places & found this one to be the least stressful. They're friendly, but they are going to challenge you. I don't want to give any interview specifics away out of respect for them.

Personal advice from my own interviews at several schools: 1) Brush up on your CCRN, primarily the parts that apply to anesthesia. 2) If you don't know an answer, don't be afraid to say so. Being able to admit when you don't know and need help is an important quality for a student. 3) Ask yourself why you're choosing FSU. What makes this program more appealing to you than others?

Good luck to everyone! If you don't get in, don't get discouraged. This is the field that you belong in. Ask why you didn't and what you could do to improve then reapply!

I just had a chances to check my email and was also extended an invite to interview. Thank you so much for the advice l58i. I58i do you mind if I message you about what the campus is like and other questions about clinical sites since this will be a virtual interview and I won’t get to be in site? Good luck to everyone who applied and to everyone who already received interviews.

Not at all! Happy to help! I believe you guys will get a chance to talk to some of the class after the interview as well.

Congrats to everyone who got an invite. I’m pretty bummed too! We just have to keep applying and building our resume. It’s my dream and I will keep trying until I make it!

Not to give false hope, but the people that got an invite have until January 29th to accept. I would think if some people do not accept by that time for what ever reason, they would then send out more invites for interviews to fill the spots of those that did not accept the initial interview invite. Good luck to you all and I hope you still get an invite.

It said it was an invalid email. Happy to help with any campus/clinical site questions you have though. You can also ask the other students during the zoom meeting. They're all great people!

There were some that didn't respond to interview invitations in previous cohorts too, so there's still a possibility. If you get a rejection letter, keep trying! Also, be sure to ask why so you know what areas you can improve in.

I am not sure why it said the email was invalid. That is the main email that I use for everything. I have a back up email at caseg2014@gmail. Com 

if you are still up for answering question please reach out to me at that address. Thank you again for taking the time to help us out.

I got an email that my app just went under review last week. Did anyone else get that last week?

I received the same email after I received an invite to interview. Not sure why. Ms. McPeak ensured me that I was still on the list of interviewees.
