I didn’t see a thread for the LSU CRNA 2022 application cycle, so I thought I would go ahead and start one! ?

Hoping for an invitation for an interview!! My first bachelors GPA is what was keeping me from applying the first time around. I worked aorund the clock to do a bunch of prereqs.
Hey! Longshot you’ll see this, but I’m applying in 2023. Well I was curious how low your overall GPA was? I saw you got in! Congrats! My overall is just under a 3.0 (including first attempted courses, anything I failed that doesn’t count towards nursing BSN), but I am like you, repeated courses and changed my major! Nursing GPA is >3.6 and science GPA would be 3.6 if original attempts weren’t counted. So I’m nervous!

Hello!
So great news, I applied to 3 Lousiana schools and got into all 3. My calculated science was like a 3.01 LOL. I was asked a lot of detailed questions during my interviews and the feedback that I got was that my application didn't look great. However they said I was a strong interviewer and that's what clinched my spot. I did mock interviews with clinical questions, and made sure my story and emotional IQ questions were solid. I prepped for about 4 months writing and rehearsing them.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
@nurseboop18 Hi! I know this is an old post, but do you mind if I PM about which school you chose? I got into FranU and NSU and am looking for advice on which to choose. Thank you!
