I did post this question first in the CRNA forum instead of where it more so belongs- in the pre-CRNA forum. So I re-posted it here.
I read through most of the archives and have gained so much valuable information. Thank you to everyone that has contributed.
I've read in the *Read first* section that Nilepoc suggests only applying to 2 or 3 CRNA schools. After doing some searches, I haven't found much other info on this topic. I have been finding while talking to physicians, that as pre-med students they would usually apply to 25+ schools, so as to better their chances.
I would really like to hear from any SRNA's or CRNA's about how many schools they applied to/ how many interviews/ how may acceptance letters.
i applied to 4 schools, got an interview at 3 of them. I did not go to my 3rd because I got accepted to my second interview.
The interviewers at my first school was impressed with the fact that I applied to 4 schools. they told me it showed them that I was dedicated to being a CRNA and that I would do whatever I needed to do to reach my goal. I was pleased that they would offer that positive feedback.
If i didnt get in there it was going to apply until I got into somewhere. Apply to as many as it takes and to as many schools as it takes. I know i was going to, but i got lucky and got into the school i wanted to get into

Beginners luck, just think of all the app money you saved. Congrats!
when anybody talks about how expensive the process is for several schools think about the money lost working one more year as a staff nurse compared to starting as a CRNA 1 year sooner.

I applied to 5 schools: 4 interviews, 4 acceptances..........I wouldn't suggest doing more than that, it did get expensive........And following up on 3 reference letters for 5 different schools is a job in itself. But, I found, that the more interviews you do the better you become..................Good Luck!!!
