Members are discussing various aspects of the CRNA program at LSU, including concerns about communication, waitlist status, financial aid, clinical rotations, and housing arrangements. Some members are seeking information about the program, while others are sharing their experiences with the admissions process and preparing for the start of the program in May. Additionally, there are discussions about filling out FAFSA forms, clinical site rotations, and the possibility of finding roommates to share rent.

Starting for updates as the deadline just passed! 

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? 

For those accepted and using loans, for Summer 2025 are we filling out the old FAFSA form?

IDK if this is helpful, but when I called down to the financial aid office, they acted like they would divide our loan amount between all three semesters (Summer, fall, Spring.) I was just going to fill out the new FASFA form, but that might be wrong. I'm not for sure! I'm trying to figure out the loan situation as well.

I just called the financial aid office. They said we need to fill out both FAFSA forms (2024-2025) and (2025-2026)

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. 

I realize this rotation has passed, but could anyone expand on the clinical sites and if they're statewide? How often they rotate? I'm interested in applying but undecided and a big factor is how often and far the clinical sites rotate/ distance and accommodations. 
 

Thanks!

I'm almost positive you rotate sites every 2 months. You can be sent all over LA plus parts of MS and TX. Regardless of what school you pick, you're going to have to be away from home at some point. It is what it is. BUT it is such a short time in the reality of things. With the competitiveness, any school you get into is the one for you. If you get into multiple, then you can start being picky LOL.

I don't disagree, an acceptance is an acceptance and one school I've applied too will have <2% of applicants get a spot but if I can pick programs to apply to that don't have me moving every 4-6 weeks and having to afford/find a new place to live that's one less stressor on the personal life and finances and something I'm taking into consideration.

Has anyone that was waitlisted heard back? Will they eventually send an official denial letter?

Does anyone know when the official start date is for this rotation? Still on the waitlist and just trying to figure out if and when they would mail out any denial letters.
