I havent heard anything either

I don't think they've filled all the seats yet. I got my acceptance call on Tuesday along with a few others, and someone mentioned getting accepted just yesterday. The Facebook group only has 13 members so far, I know not everyone who's accepted joins right away, but for a class of 34, I think they're still sending out offers. Looking at last year's trend, they didn't finish sending all acceptances until mid-December. I'm sending all of you positive vibes and prayers! Hopefully, we'll all be classmates in the class of 2029.

Congrats to you guys! im applying next year. I heard Marian is easier to get into but this thread belies that! Plus a heavy clinical interview too. Restudying that ccrn for sure.

I wouldn't necessarily say it's easier to get in, there just happens to be less applicants to Marian compared to big name schools like Johns Hopkins, Duke, etc...

Easier, I was rejected from a few schools before I got in here, but it's still a CRNA school which means it's not easy. Interview wasn't terrible but definitely had a good split of clinical and EI questions. I think the ones that stumped me the most were the most basic ones because I wasn't expecting them. Questions like "What makes cardiac output?" (Stroke volume and heart rate), "What makes ICP?" (CSF, blood and brain tissue) threw me because they were so basic I massively overthought them. So make sure you don't neglect the simple stuff while you get the complex stuff down pat.

To help preserve the integrity and fairness of the program, I don't believe we should post actual interview questions here. Just sharing my thoughts.
