I created this forum for nurses applying to Midwestern University's CRNA program starting in 2022. 

Let's do this!

I got an interview for 11/09! So excited. Does anyone know how many more seats they have open, I know they do rolling admissions. 

Excluding the ones who interviewed this week, so far there are 8 people total that we know of have been accepted. Around 26 seats are still open since they take in around 34.

I got an offer call yesterday too! They must still keep plenty of spots available to be fair to the upcoming interviewees.  Good luck to the rest of you all! Just remember you are interviewing because they think are good enough to complete the program. The interview is to prove to them that are who you say you are! So go in confident knowing you are smart enough to be there! The interview panel does an awesome job of keeping it relaxed but will keep you on your toes at the same time. 

Also, don't forget to breathe!

Congrats to everyone that got accepted! I received my waitlist email this morning. I am looking at the positive, since at least it was not a rejection email. Maybe next time around I will be selected for an interview! Good luck to everyone!

Hello. I received the same email this morning. Not sure what to make of it. But I do wonder how many people are on that waitlist?

I could have misunderstood—but on the 11/09 interview faculty said those not selected for admission were placed on the waitlist—which made it sound like all interviewees not immediately selected were waitlisted? Did anyone else get that impression?

Yes, they say people who didn’t get the phone call will be on the waitlist until late Nov/early Dec so they can be fair to everyone.

I am speculating that 2.5 spots per interview group will be given out. At the end of 10 weeks of interviews that would assume 25 spots taken with 9 to be selected from the waitlist. If it is closer to 3 spots per interview group then only 4 from the waitlist will be chosen. Still have a small bit of hope.

Are you saying that they will sift through the waitlist after they’ve interviewed their first choices and pick from the group for the open spots?

How did you guys prepare for your interviews?

Hi. My daughter applied this year to two schools. She got interviews at both places. Did not get in. She graduated with honors from Ohio State and has the ICU time but was told her interview skills are lacking. I don't think she has had many interviews in her life. Would the CRNA SCHOOL PREP ACADEMY help ? Is there another way she can go through the interview process with someone or a company ? I'm just trying to help. I appreciate it.

In short, yes. Unfortunately, they don’t have any mock interview availability currently. However, they have alot of resources that can strengthen your interviews. I did like 4 mock interviews with them as well as going through their workshops.
