Based on what others have said, ~60 people to interview in one day (from the 3 time slots we know so far) just seems like a lot... 

Do you know if they are they are definit doing interviews?

No, I was just going off of the email and what they replied to you about ~20 people. Really not sure what to expect!

Congrats everyone! Mine is at 8am. I hope it's an informal interview just to gauge us and also to sell themselves. 🙂 Fingers crossed

I'm also at 8 am! I agree I think nothing too formal and to sell themselves. I've heard they are laxed with interviews, so they probably won't question us. Maybe more get to know us.

Does anyone know how many seats are going to be in the Spring 2026 cohort ? By the way the email was worded it did seem as though it was partially a "soft acceptance" but now we know there's three different time slots and about 60 people in one day which is a lot and definitely more than they're going to accept 😳

What part of the email made you think it was a "soft acceptance"? This is my first cycle applying to CRNA schools, but I've only interviewed at two other programs so far. But one school (I was waitlisted) interviewed about 100 candidates over two days and accepted 36, so this seems pretty standard to me. I also spoke with someone who got into this program last year, and they said their cohort is 16 students — so interviewing 60 applicants doesn't seem out of the ordinary. Especially because last year they interviewed over a period of time. CRNA school is one of the most competitive application processes out there, so I'm genuinely curious why people are assuming they've been accepted already. Do other programs do it differently? Or has anyone been on an interview that was different from this process. Just trying to learn if this is the norm.

Is it possible they meant 20 people across three time slots? That would make more sense cohort-wise and according to the tone of the email.

I guess we'll find out once we get there. But, I'm also wondering why only 20 people would be invited if the cohort size is just 16 that seems like a really narrow pool. As for the email, I personally took the tone as more of a next step in the application process rather than anything definitive. It said I was "invited to attend an on campus interview and information session,” which in my mind doesn't mean acceptance.... at least not yet. Until I actually hear or see the words "you've been accepted,” I'm just taking this as a chance to prepare and put my best foot forward.

There's just no way they can interview 60 applicants across 3 time slots in one day— 0800, 1100, 1500. Let alone have tours involved. That's 9 mins per applicant?

My best guess it'll be about 10 minutes to meet each applicant personally, and a 30 minute tour. If can break the groups into two, one will do tour first and the other interview so they save even more time. 
 

it's possible, I've had enough interviews to know that 10 minutes is enough for a meet and greet and the tour only took maybe 30 minutes last year for us
