Hello, I am a current RN working in an ICU for almost one year. I plan to begin my application for CRNA this Summer (July-September). I am honestly interested in just one school's program for a plethora of reasons. When I am comparing my stats to others on the internet, I feel I may be a weak applicant. I know there any plenty of things I can do between now and July to strengthen my application. However, at the end of the day, I really want the school to specifically tell me what they would recommend and what they look for. I have an email drafted up to send to the director of their CRNA program basically explaining my goal of applying the next application cycle and my desire to be a strong applicant. Also, I want to see if she had someone, whether it be alumni/professor, etc., that she could put me in contact with as a mentor for my journey into CRNA school. My real question breaks down to if it unprofessional to reach out to this school and make this request? I know they have their minimum requirements online but I want to know how can I stand out. I don't want to bother the director when this is beneath her but the only other faculty I can find is professors. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
