Hi there,

When did you all apply? I turned in my app in June, and so far from what I've heard is the earlier you turn in your app, the earlier you could get called for an interview. Don't know if this is true, but I'm hoping for my sanity they call me sooner rather than later for my interview, if I get one. We should keep track of each other, and help each other get through the interview process, and hopefully we can be classmates next year. Fingers crossed, and good luck to all who applied.

rave21,

I only applied to MSA. Kind of putting all of my eggs in one basket. I can and will apply to St Mary's University if I don't get into MSA. I applied to MSA because that is my first choice above and beyond any other program. I have a family, so going to a program out of the twin cities is not an option for me. The U of M program would interest me, but I called the program director a couple of years back and she told me, and it was on the website, that they much perfer students with adult ICU experience, and not peds ICU experience. This really turned me off to their program, so I won't apply there. You said that you called the school, and they don't do rolling admissions? Can I assume that what I previously had been told about getting your app in early gets you an early interview isn't true? That's nice to know, now I guess I can take a deep breath. Where else did you apply? Where are you from? I work here in St Paul at Children's hospital in the PICU.

Hi MSA applicants!

I just spoke with someone from the school, and she said they were going to finish reviewing applications this week, and that letters will go out the end of November, and this letter will tell you whether you were selected for an interview or not. Good luck to all who applied!

Hi all,

I too applied to MSA. I've been on pins and needles everytime I visit the mailbox. Keep posting the updates please. I'll pray for all of us to be accepted. I've heard great things about this program. I have a friend who has also applied as well and we just have that feeling that we will moving to Minneapolis real soon. Hope to meet you all soon in St. Louis Park, MN.

hi luckycharmrn,

I'm from Atlanta, GA. Great to hear from you. Even though someone posted earlier this week that they'd called the school

and they were told that letters wouldn't go out until the last of November, I continue to go to the mailbox with wishful

thinking that an invitation to interviews will be in there. Keep me posted the moment that you hear something, please.

You may have to email me directly because I did not subscribe to the portion of allnurses that cost. May God be with all of us.

My husband had a missed call from the Minneapolis School of Anesthesia today, and they left a message to call him back. Unfortunately, he was sleeping and didnt get the message until after the school was closed. Did anyone else receive a call today?? We are extremely nervous about why they would be calling, considering interviews are apparently going to be given by mail this year.

Hi Courtney,

Not sure why you received a phone call, but it may very well be a positive thing! Maybe they are calling the ones who made it. It would be better though if someone else would post if they've received a call as well. I didn't receive one. I did however hear back from another school that I applied to today. I was granted an interview in January. I wish you and your hubby luck!! Keep in touch and post whatever you find out. Happy Thanksgiving and please keep us updated. Thanks :)
