Hello all, I wanted to start a thread for any perspective applicants for Columbia's Anesthesia program for 2020. I submitted my application last week and wanted to hear if anyone was called for interviews yet. My stats: ADN 3.7 BSN 4.0 CCRN, CMC, CRN...

I definitely agree with your feelings of indifference. I was accepted to CRNA school and am set to begin in June 2020. I also own a house, engaged and have 2 children. The finances seem unbearable but I have wanted this for as long as I can remember....

Just seeing this post for the first time. In my opinion cardiac gives you the better experience for CRNA school. I agree with Bigpoppa that a medical CICU may be bland, but it really depends on the hospital. I work in a medical CICU in a large level ...

No, but I was wondering the same thing. I made the deposit and submitted the FAFSA so far but have not heard anything other than orientation isnt until May.

Thanks for the post and congrats! What state do you plan on working in when you pass your boards? Also, you talked about taking out money to live off of, is this through the school or did you have to seek out private loan companies?

I got an email as well! I officially accepted the offer, congratulations to everyone else accepting!

That is amazing!!! Can't wait to meet everyone.

1. How are you handling the financial implications of no longer working and providing for yourself while in school. Are you relying on mostly loan money, etc? 2. Is there any specific area in school that was challenging for you that you wish you did ...

I just got a call from Dr. Massie as well, I was offered a spot! Congrats ICU.RN.12!

I have a feeling it's going to be monday/tuesday before Thanksgiving ?

Nothing here yet as well ?

Sorry haha! I live over an hour away on Long Island, I plan on taking the train into the city or carpooling perhaps.

The waiting is brutal, good luck to everyone who interviewed. Does anyone plan on commuting if they get in?

The cohort I interviewed had 10 people in it. I had the least amount of experience, at about 2.5 years. The others had between 4-10.

We were told that we would hear by Thanksgiving.

The interview is 20mins.

Thank you! I had my interview this morning, goodluck to everyone else interviewing.

They just opened dates for 17th and 18th on the portal I just switched.

Just got an invite. Only dates were 10/3 and 10/4

No news here as well. I overheard that the program director lives in Maine and flies to NY every Monday. Regardless, this is very short notice for anyone that interviews at the end of this week.

So I called the admissions department today and asked when we should expect to hear about interview invitations and I was given a short vague answer with a time frame of: very soon-the next couple of weeks. I was told that they are still reviewing ap...

Yes, I got the same.

I submitted 8/28

I've heard it's 70 for 30 seats in past years, but someone mentioned on this thread that there are 40 seats this year.

I have not heard of anyone getting anything other than an update that their application was forwarded to the admissions committee. Which is kind of frustrating since the first interview dates are approaching and we all work and may live far away as w...
