    Sorta surprised that there is no post for this current application for Pitt, especially since the application deadline is a month away. Decided to make this thread for people looking to discuss the...

    They don't have an explicit science GPA requirement or certain classes use to calculate. In fact, they don't recalculate any GPAs for you. They look at your BSN GPA and as long as you meet that...

    Living2Learn replied to Living2Learn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hi there! I'm actually at Pitt now and went through this just last year. Pitt uses your BSN GPA in a sense - that is, they use the GPA printed on the transcript which conferred your BSN. While they do...

    Living2Learn replied to Living2Learn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I don't know anything more about the point system as it's not something that's at all published. I just know that the scoring system exists because this is what the director told us all after the...

  15. Wake Forest CRNA 2023

    Living2Learn replied to Chickp3a's topic in School, College Programs

    They conduct interviews once a month, generally. However, they’re skipping August because the incoming class is starting, so they’ll resume next month. I applied about 3 weeks ago and was told...

    Congrats! I just got this email just as I was done emailing someone about the same topic! First year is gonna be scary, ngl. There is no sugar coating it. You’re going to see some sick patients,...

    Living2Learn replied to Living2Learn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    No, you don’t have to take any courses if you don’t want to. Graduate FT status is 9 units. Most of the semesters are less than 12 units anyway. I think that saying that by the time you hit 12...

    Living2Learn replied to Living2Learn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    This is the PT offer. You can take courses if you want, and if you do, make sure you get a B or higher. Since the cohort starts Spring, if you want to take Fall 2022 courses you’d need to be...

  20. University of Pittsburgh CRNA Spring 2023

    Living2Learn replied to Living2Learn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I was accepted full-time and got the same email. This is basically saying you can take a course or two in Fall 2022 if you want or get a head start. You’d be PT for Fall 2022 and be FT in Spring...

    Living2Learn replied to Living2Learn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I do think the slots are predetermined. As in they decide the people they want FT & PT then adjust

  22. University of Pittsburgh CRNA Spring 2023

    Living2Learn replied to Living2Learn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I’d imagine they do. When I got my call they said they wanted to offer me a full time spot in the cohort and was specific about it being full time. I imagine the same would happen with

    OMG, it must be DAAYYSS. I feel bad for future cohorts that look online to see pages and pages of useless banter regarding how we haven’t been contacted and speculating on when we will hear back,
