Looking for Advice

Hey guys I am looking to apply to CRNA school. Just wondering my chances, gonna apply to all Michigan schools to start and maybe more in the surrounding area. Low cumulative GPA around 3.25-3.3, science around 4.0 after retaking classes and last 60 is about 3.7. I took 3 graduate classes as well got 2 A's and 1 B, would this one B ruin my chance? I am part of a couple professional organizations and trying to get into more in my hospital. Going to apply with 1.5-2 years experience in a level one STICU. Going to have ACLS/CCRN/PALS. Anything I can do to hopefully improve my odds? Thanks in advance! I should also note I got my BSN in Canada and some people told me our education is "harder" and may help me out.

    Have you taken the GRE? A good score will help.

    all the schools I am applying for do not require the GRE!

    Mine didn't either but I actually read the catalog's financial aid section, (all graduate students, ALL are eligible for a university GRE scholarship and I got a scholarship from the university for my GRE score. The University's graduate school enrollments are ALL eligible (by discipline, certain scholarships  that require a GRE)

    I hope your admission people talk to those 'same people'.

    How about looking at other nursing graduate programs? Nursing Education maybe since you acknowledge the rigors of nursing? Share your hard earned knowledge  when you share your nursing skills acquired over 2 countries?

    Consider programs that use the GRE. They will often look at applicants with lower GPAs. The GRE can be an applicant's friend. It costs less money and time to take the GRE than to repeat a course.
