Hi guys, 

my stats are 3.8gpa, 4.0 science, ccrn, 2years ICU no shadowing hours. I just got contacted by the program director today that shadowing hours are encouraged and I should keep her updated as soon as I got some shadowing hours. Not a positive thing but best of lucks with those applied with shadowing hours

Is it still worth it to apply? I know that the deadline was November 1st and that any applications after that would be accepted on a rolling basis for any available seats.

As far as I know from this thread no one has heard anything about interviews so couldn't hurt. Seems like there's some stars in this thread though I don't think I have a chance 😂

I feel this on a spiritual level.  My clinical aspect is top notch but my GPA is *** in comparison

well don't let your spirits down! you never know what they really focus on in picking candidates. A lot of the times they see how they like the person in the interview too. Believe in yourself and what you have achieved:)
