Starting thread for people planning to apply or already applied

I completely agree with you. If you received a rejection, don't give up, keep going! When one door closes, another one opens. I applied to 22 schools; I was waitlisted by some, rejected after interviews by others, and didn't even get an interview at a few. And mind you, I have a very strong resume, I'm just not the best interviewer. But eventually, I was accepted into one school. That's all it takes. One day, someone will see you for who you truly are. So never, ever give up. We will all be CRNAs one day!

Same here, I applied around 15 schools, but I haven't received any offer yet. congratulations on your offer. Even though I might get an offer this time as well, but I will still be keep going and non-stop trying.

I love your spirit! I know how it feels to be told "no" over and over again, but the key is to never give up. Having good grades and a strong résumé are only half the puzzle, the other half comes down to how well you connect with the interviewers and whether they can see your passion. Most of the time, it's not even about how perfectly you answered every question. I truly hope you receive an offer soon. Keep pushing, your time is coming!
ICUCMCC said:Does anyone know how many people have been accepted already? I guess I'm thinking with them sending out rejections they've already chosen who they want. Maybe I'm over thinking it though 😅
Only 2 people from this sites got an offer, but they seems like early decision people. Finger crossed that we will hear something soon.
I just got my acceptance call!
For those wondering I interviewed on October 2nd. Stats are 4 years critical care in a mix of CVICU, NICU and MICU. Some preceptor and charge experience. CCRN. 3.6 cumulative GPA and 3.3 science GPA. I also have an NP MSN with a GPA of 3.8.
