Hi! To those accepted into Mary Baldwins CRNA program, do you mind sharing you stats? Im still getting my BSN currently but I am very interested in applying to their CRNA program one day. Any shared stats of those accepted/waitlisted/and denied will be appreciated. Thank you!!

Nursing GPA 3.7

Science GPA (per MBU course requirement) 3.5

5.5yrs STICU (Level 1 Trauma Center)

I did not submit my GRE score since they did not require it

CCRN/ TCRN/TNCC

Please note I was waitlisted 2022 cycle with MBU-- during that cycle their requirements were a minimum CUMULATIVE GPA of 3.0-- I did not meet this requirement (2.92 cGPA) but had applied anyway

I did have a one-on-one zoom meeting with the Assistant Director during the 2022 open application cycle

Before the 2023 cycle opened back up MBU reached out to all who were waitlisted from 2022 and held a zoom meeting with us on reapplying and strengthening our application and also stated that they changed the requirement and do not look at CUMULATIVE GPA but rather Nursing GPA and Science GPA.

I was accepted ?

Don't give up!

Congratulations! That's a huge accomplishment. Would you mind sharing your application stats (GPA/experience/certifications/leadership)?Any shared info would be appreciated as I am an aspiring applicant to Mary Baldwins CRNA program one day.

CMC : I didn't study. I took CMC right after CCRN.

GRE: I used a workbook from china. Never use Magush or word smart series..those are just a waste of time.
