:confused::confused:Are there any 2011 MTSA interviewees out there? (applicants for class 2012-2014). Interview today was NOT GOOD! Panel only asked 3-4 questions and didn't even mentioned cellular mechanism of drugs, which I studied numerous hours. I was only in the room about 5-8 minutes and was asked about intubation, of all things! Left that room feeling defeated and incompetent. President's interview went much better, but still not very hopeful considering panel interview. I have a 3.9 undergraduate GPA and 1000 GRE score, but I don't know how much that will help me at this point. Any body else interview recently?:confused::confused:

I interviewed there, felt the same after the interview. I was accepted though. Most of my answers were "i don't know" . They want to see you know what you are talking about, but push it into things they don't expect you to know. They will weed out the people who make things up to keep from admitting they don't know. I have many buddies who went to that school. No one ever feels good after that interview.

A 3.9 is excellent. grades in science classes count more.

Thanks BCRNA! yes it was difficult to say the least. Makes me feel very unnerving. My science GPA is a 4.0 so hopefully that will bring me some luck. Staying hopeful!

I felt like my interview was too brief, don't know if my answers were detailed enough. was kicking myself the entire 4 hour drive home. Have a 3.53 gpa, but compensated with a 1200 gre score and ccrn certification. Holding my breath untill october 6th.

I feel ya! I did the same thing when I left....hindsight is 20/20 for sure! It will definitely be a long week. I'm taking my CCRN on Monday, maybe that will boost my confidence. Good luck to you!

Good luck to you too. Hope we both get a call thursday. the ccrn is not as hard as I have experienced people make it out to be. Just have to have some critical thinking skills. Good luck.
