I also got that email. In another group I follow, someone else said they already received an email to interview the first week of May. The person said they submitted their application in early January, and the college said they were interviewing locals first. Has anyone else heard anything?

I would also like to follow this other group, could you please share the name?

Also, I'm applying from Florida and have not received an invite so I hope the "locals" aspect is true. I did send an email to Pam and Lyndsey for clarification and this is what they said:

"The deadline is still May 31, but we will start conducting some interviews online before the deadline. Candidates invited to these early interviews will be given a choice of dates and times. The early interview dates are not scheduled at this time. MTSA will work with candidates on the interview dates and times. There will be interviews conducted through June."

It's a facebook group called ICU dreaming about anesthesia. It's not about any specific school in general just a forum for people interested in nurse anesthesia ?.

Yeah, I just spoke with someone yesterday who has an interview this week as well. He submitted his application months ago, but he did not mention if he was local or not.

I wonder why they are moving up interviews. Especially if they are going to be held virtually. I would think, if anything, that would move them back.

I have no idea... hopefully they don't prefer domestic > import, because I'm definitely not local.

I'm speculating that they are going to look at the Nashvillians first and then decide how many non-locals to give interviews to. I hope I'm wrong.

I went to the open house back in March and they stated they didn’t give preference to locals versus out of state so I’m not sure.

I think that they’re looking at everyone who completed their applications earlier on , because those people have their GRE scores. People who applied before March have the whole package.

Ughh that makes me nervous then. Because I applied early in January too and had my GRE scores/everything submitted but haven’t heard anything about an interview ?

Dont feel nervous.. we don't know how they're doing it! just throwing out ideas. LOL. If you don't get an interview, do they just not respond?
