SRNA2020

I was accepted to the cohort beginning in 2020.

Hi, I wanted to gain sone input from current or former students of Drexel’s CRNA program. Any pros, cons, likes and dislikes about the program.

What’s your thoughts on Drexel’s program?

I got into 3 schools and rejected at one, so i guess I can chime in. The school where I was rejected had a very short interview process and the questions were consistent. Apart from that, I really can't pin point why I was not accepted.

I had applied in January, heard back for an interview around July. Turned it down as I had accepted elsewhere and the school is REALLY expensive.

Pretty much what the above commentor said.

I interviewed Sep. 12 and haven't heard anything. Out of curiosity, did your application page change? Mine says, Fairfield college: ESN, Fairfield Major: DNP Nurse Anesthesia. Do you guys see that too?

Their clinical sites are spread over Delaware, PA, and NJ. You get a lot of clinical experience, I talked with a student who was at a clinical site, where she was the only SRNA, no competing SRNAs/Residents. They also provided her with a room since it was far away from Drexel Uni.

It's what you make of the experience and how intelligently you can speak on it during your school interviews. I worked on a Level 1 trauma MICU, and I got into my top 2 choices. We use pressors, sedatives and pralytics on our unit almost everyday. Also, we have patients with central lines, arterial and CVP monitoring. I had other people who aspire to be CRNAs tell me switch into SICU or CTICU because apparently those are the only units that schools prefer. I have to make a footnote and say that, I had a high GPA, CCRN-CMC, and leadership to go along with that. I would advice you to pick the Level 1 trauma unit.

Yes, it is a lot. But, if thats the only school you can get into then, do it.

Ahan, what made it your top 2 choice?

June 15th, Im stuck between two schools, funny enough like the other person. Do you know anyone that currently attends Villanova? I never even heard back from Excela.

is this your first choice? Did you apply elsewhere?

Just got an email and I interviewed beginning of May. How about you?

I just received my acceptance.
