LSU applicants start in 2015

Published

Hello! I'm applying to LSU crna program to start in 2015. Wanted to start a thread to get feedback from others who are also applying on their interview experience. Also I would like feedback from those who have interviewed there before and provide any information that would be helpful about the program. Thanks!

Honestly, you should have nothing to worry about. I know it's hard to say that being on my end, but we really don't know if they informed EVERYONE today or not. If you do get on the waitlist, I have a few friends that were on the waitlist for LSU previous years and both were able to get in. People apply to many programs and don't end up going to the places they get accepted because they attend their top choice. I actually was granted an interview at another school in a few months but informed them that I will not be attending anymore. The road to getting accepted in an anesthesia program is tough, but the road to staying in an anesthesia program is even tougher. Always hope and be humble. It's why I'm in the position I am in now. And if worse comes to worse and you don't get in, let that be fuel to your fire in obtaining your goal of becoming a CRNA. Trust me, I've been down that road before and it made me even more determined to strengthen my resume. I had my moment of joy, but now I am honestly scared. haha. Isn't that crazy? But I will sleep easy knowing that I have did everything I could to prepare myself for the strenuous program.

I missed a call from LSU a few days ago (Monday I think?) but they never called back. Just like Jen, I will be attending UTHealth, so hopefully that opens another spot for somebody that was wait listed? Good luck y'all!

Hey congrats on acceptances! I got my call Tuesday. I started a FB group LSU HSC nurse anesthesia class of 2018, my boyfriend started one for his class last year and they seem to like having the forum for questions through out the program. Anyone interested please join!

Hi everyone, I applied to the program for lsu nurse anesthesia to start in 2015, and I have not heard anything. A few of my friends have been accepted, but I am wondering if there is still hope for me or if that means I do not get accepted? A few of my friends from last year were accepted after being waitlisted, but I have not heard anything about that even. I thought my interview went okay, but am just wondering if anyone could provide any info/insight to the situation? Waiting is now fun, but congrats to those accepted !!! You deserve it!

Maybe they are still calling people/deciding who to accept..I mean I have not heard of anyone getting rejected yet? It seems like they called on just Monday and Tuesday (or everyone I heard of was on those dates). Don't give up !

Congrats heavykevy and travelerjen. UT-Houston is a great program as well and the texas medical center is like no other. I worked at Baylor St. Luke's for a few years before I started doing travel nursing. I would of applied to UT-Houston if I didn't get into LSU. Maybe we will see you two at future CRNA conferences. I don't know how I'm going to rep purple and gold when I have worn burnt orange my whole life. Haha. For all those that still haven't heard of anything, still don't give up hope until you receive the rejection letter. And even if you do get a rejection letter, let that be fuel to your fire in making your resume even stronger. I've known friends that got denied having almost a 4.0 GPA to other programs and people getting into a program having a little over a 3.0 GPA. There's not really one aspect of a perspective students profile that gains them an advantage. I believe they look at the entire package. I'll admit, I applied to one program last year and didn't get in. The denial letter was the best thing that ever happened (not at first when I opened the envelope) to me because I pinned the letter on top of my desk and it made me want to work harder. When applying to school, you are in competition with many of those that have the same credentials you have, but it's during your interview that the panel can see that drive and hunger in you that nothing is going to stop you in wanting to be a CRNA. Good luck and keep your head up. You most likely will be one of my classmates! c/o 2018 represent!! what? what?

Yes... I agree I would not worry about not hearing right away... LSU interviews took placenter over many weeks... it wouldn't surprise me if their acceptancell process takes some time... good luck to everyone! !!
