What Members Are Saying (AI-Generated Summary)

Members are discussing their experiences with interviews and acceptance into the MTSA program. Some have received acceptance calls but are waiting for official emails, while others are discussing the timeline for general interviews and the process for paying deposits. There is also a conversation about apartment hunting in Tennessee for out-of-state students who have been accepted into the program.

Starting a thread for the 2025 application for anyone who wants to start in January of 2026.

They told us it would be 2-4 weeks, so it's throwing me through a loop that some people have already heard! 

Same! I am very much on edge now. Hopefully we will all hear something in the coming days since they started notifying yesterday it sounds like.

Would those accepted mind sharing their stats? I haven't heard anything so kind of assuming I didn't get in this round but want to get an idea of what to work on for next year! Congrats to everyone!

I feel like mine doesn't shine in stats as much as others, so I'll share for encouragement. I have a sGPA of 3.5. 3 1/2 years in MICU, but started as a CNA at 16. Preceptor and unit resource. Unit based council. 
 

I really invested in the emotional aspect of my personal statement. Had some really good letters of recommendation. I like to think I shined as more than my stats, but the kind of nurse I show up as. Kindness and humility is always worth prioritizing.

Hello, 

I received the call to be admitted yesterday, but have not yet gotten the acceptance email. 

Has anyone by chance gotten written confirmation?

Stats:

4.5 years ICU (CVICU/SICU/MICU)

GPA 3.56 SGPA 3.8

- with two additional post bacc science courses

CCRN, ACLS, PALS, BLS

GRE  >315

 

Also, if they call 75 people and each call lasts about 6 minutes -> thats around 6-7 hours give or take. So I can't imagine them doing that all in one sitting. There is hope!
