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 application process. Anyone applying to Pitt? I ...

And foremost, congrats! Getting an interview is the tough office part of the whole process. Pitt is very holistic in their recruitment approach and look at a lot of things aside from just grades. I interviewed over zoom, but the process i...

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 threshold, you're good. Of course they're going to look ...

Nope, it's @sirbeatness - feel free to add me and we can chat more!

Maybe because you're new to this site and haven't posted enough? But yes feel free! Or if you wanna message me on Reddit or IG?

Thanks! And yes, I totally get that. I have lots of information and notes re: the route of CRNA going through a peds ICU - feel free to DM me on here and we can talk more

So glad it was helpful and congrats on your offer! Yep, I stayed! I was staff for 2 years, traveled for a year and now I'm in CRNA school. I am actually on an assignment now (my first semester or two is light and I'm able to work). I'm working ...

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 use NursingCAS, they use it more as an applicatio...

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 interviews. It is how they internally and holistically...

Oh, haha. That makes sense. Hopefully you get in! I withdrew my application because I was accepted elsewhere so that’s one more spot for you all!

What do you mean exactly? The applications are rolling and have been since Feb, so most people have already gotten in for 2023.

Congrats! I applied at the very beginning of August and haven’t heard anything quite yet. When is your interview?

Very awesome - congrats!

Did you get an offer elsewhere?

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 that I’ll most likely hear back about an interview (c...

Congrats and glad that you accepted! Yes there was! “Pitt CRNA DNP Cohort 2023-2026”

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, have some intense days and learn ALOT in year one. ...

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 units you need to have a 3.0. I think the verbiage ...

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 admitted into the school as a PT student. Then in Spring, y...

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 2023 when you start the program. If you want to take co...

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

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 PT.

Just got my call! I’m in! It’s happening everyone! 😭

Exactly! I was having a similar convo with a friend who applied to another school back on March 1 and JUST heard back today that she was accepted (after being waitlisted 2 weeks ago). There is definitely hope!

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, haha
