1. Anybody from UAB, SAMFORD OR UTC have advice for the building a strong application.

   BamaCRNA2B replied to sleepeasy's topic in SRNA

   I can only speak for my experience with the application process for UAB and Samford. To be competitive at either school you should have a B or above in each of your science courses. The GPA for entrance at Samford is probably about a 3.5+ cumulativ...

4. Samford Interiew

   BamaCRNA2B replied to ctrutocrna's topic in SRNA

   I heard that phone calls were made Tuesday. Letters have probably already been sent. I am sure they will have alternates, so those who were not called, don't freak out. There is still a good chance for alternates.

5. Samford Students

   BamaCRNA2B replied to JessAnn's topic in SRNA

   After the interview last year, I felt good about it. But, many people did not feel as confident after the interview and were accepted. Did the clinical questions make you feel inadequate? Because, if that is making you feel not so good, just know ...

6. Samford Interiew

   BamaCRNA2B replied to ctrutocrna's topic in SRNA

   I am currently a student at Samford and interviewed last year. One interviewer asked me quite a few clinical questions last year. His questions were based on what kind of nursing you performed prior to the interview. For example, I was a cardiac n...

7. UAB's CRNA program

   BamaCRNA2B replied to YGPHNM's topic in SRNA

   They take into account several GPAs. First and foremost they evaluate your math and science GPA. When I met with them in the past I was told that they do not like Cs in any science or math courses. Told me that a 3.0 was required for all math and...

8. UAB's CRNA program

   BamaCRNA2B replied to YGPHNM's topic in SRNA

   I believe what 'DrugReptoNurse' was trying to say was that the lowest GPA that UAB granted interviews to this past year was a 3.4 That is what "cut off GPA" means. :)

9. Samford University Anyone?

   BamaCRNA2B replied to NMB IVP's topic in SRNA

   Samford is not a doctorate program. Samford offers an optional DNP which can be completed online after you finish the masters in nurse anesthesia. So, if you desire a doctorate it can be completed at Samford and if you do not then you do not have t...

    BamaCRNA2B replied to NMB IVP's topic in SRNA

    I just finished my first semester at Samford University yesterday. I am trying to recover and catch up on my sleep! It was the hardest thing I have done in my life thus far, but it was definitely worth it. Samford is a great program and the progra...

13. C's get degrees

    BamaCRNA2B replied to mitch8lem's topic in SRNA

    I attend Samford University. I applied at UAB and Samford, but chose Samford. I did not receive an interview at UAB the first time I applied and that was because of 2 Cs in undergraduate science courses. They were Anatomy and Physiology. I took t...

    I thought that ETS decided to postpone the changes that were scheduled for Fall 2007.

15. Is it okay to go to a community college?

    BamaCRNA2B replied to Chloe8043's topic in SRNA

    I have heard that several nurse anesthesia programs around the southeast are raising the cut off GPA for interviews (despite stating that a 3.0 is required) due to inflated GPAs related to online RN to BSN programs that the programs think are too eas...
