I have looked up information regarding statistics for those who have been accepted into anesthesia school and haven't found information regarding the average of grades, GRE scores, years of experiences, certifications, etc. Remember when you were applying for you undergrad, you could find out information about the incoming class and their average gpa, SAT scores, etc. To those of you who are CRNA's and SRNA's or soon to be SRNA's if you don't mind can you post what your gpa, GRE scores, years of experience, and other information so I can get an ideal of what to do to become a CRNA. Thank you for all that reply!!
Since its that time of year where the newest SRNAs are being accepted into programs (Congratulations!) - would those accepted be willing to post stats/advice on this thread for those that hope to follow in your footsteps?
7 months experience in CCU, small community hospital.
Overall GPA 3.1, Nursing GPA 3.0. No advanced classes. Just standard nursing school sciences (Chem 1, A&P 1,2, Bio 1). Have numerous Cs and even failed O&B Lecture and took it over and received a B, the F was still on records. As for the GRE, was not a need at the school I applied to. I applied to 1 school and got in. I have been reading this site for over 3 years and this is the first time I have posted and will not be the last. Just wanted to say that I have read a lot of emails over these past years about peoples grades and whether or not a memeber thinks they will "get in or not". Every applicant has something to bring to the school they apply to. The difference is finding that special part of yourself and sharing that area with the school you apply to. If every person had 5 years exp., 3.8 GPA and perfect GRE scores then it would basically be a random pick of SRNAs. I believe it's the personality that matters not so much the grades. I am just an average 24 year old guy who happens to love nursing and more importantly life. I wanted each and every person who reviewed my application to unerstand that. The schools like students who are going to fit it and work their A$$ off in the OR and in the lecture room. Schools want fun and interesting students to teach not boring people. Furthermore, I would hope that each school just wants you to be you and nothing more. Well I just wanted to share my thoughts. Thanks for reading and good luck to all current and soon to be SRNAs.
