Anyone else receive an interview link? I received one the last week of May, and my interview is mid June. Any advice on the interview questions?

Hi! Congrats on the interview! I got my interview notification May 17 and will be interviewing last week of June! At the open house they said it was a mix between clinical and IE, but how hard could they pimp you in 15 mins when also asking "why CRNA?”… right? LOL. Thanks for starting the thread, will be following!

I'm in the program now, and my interview experience was good. There was no pimping or intentionally leading me into a rabbit hole. They asked 5 questions which were CCRN Exam style, with multiple choice options. Beyond that, they asked questions to get to know me as a person & what I had been reading about current issues in anesthesia. Let me know if there's anything specifically yall need help with in the process!

Does anybody have any insights or comments about the program? I am kind of scared about how much traveling is required for clinical rotations. My interview is on the 18th.

Following! I submitted my application on the deadline and just saw that I had to pay a supplemental fee. I just paid it so hopefully I will hear back soon on a potential interview. If people can share their interview experience this year that'll be greatly appreciated and good luck to you all! 
 

can someone tell me what the turnaround was roughly like after paying the supplemental fee, how long after till you found out if they wanted to interview or not. Are they also sending declinations?

Hi! Sending good energy your way! Submitted 4/30 and heard back 5/17 but I wouldn't use it as a hard and fast rule since it was before the app deadline. No idea about declinations!

How long did it take you to get notified of acceptance after interviewing? I have heard August, but have you heard of anyone getting notified sooner?

I submitted mine on May 9th and paid the fee May 15th, but due to a transcript issue it wasn't completed and forwarded to the director until May 30th. Still waiting for an interview link

My interview last year was 8 minutes long. I was asked 2 questions. One about ETOH pt withdrawals and a question on a-lines. Then they asked if I volunteered and that was it. I was in the wait list last year.
