What Members Are Saying (AI-Generated Summary)

Members are discussing the waitlist process for admissions, with some receiving waitlist emails and questioning how the ranking system works. There is confusion about the waitlist process, with some members mentioning that one person has been admitted from the waitlist. Additionally, there are questions about the timeline for accepted individuals to accept their seat and whether the anesthesia program is online.

Getting this thread started early for National University's CRNA 2025 Cohort. Anyone else apply this year? 

WOW-Congratulations guys. Can any of you share your stats please?

Congrats to everyone who received an invite! If we have not receive one yet, does that mean we have been rejected? Do they send official rejections? TIA

How was your interview last year? What did they focus on?

Approx 10 minutes long. They focused on personal and professional questions. I didn't receive clinical questions but on last years allnurses thread, some applicants did. I would focus on what's listed on the FAQ page but again it's hard to say since some applicants had different experiences.

Unfortunately I didn't receive any feedback on what I could do to improve. I was waitlisted last cycle so I just did as much as I possibly could to show I was serious about this. I.e all the extra conferences, graduate courses etc.

Does anyone have any context as to what types of questions are usually asked? I understand they are personal questions, but I don't know how to prepare them. I just don't know how to prepare for it.

Hi! It's really helpful to Google what kind of questions they ask during CRNA interviews, won't vary that much school to school. Hope this helps.
