I think it depends. For one, leaving a current program and seeking acceptance in another program may be difficult and probably doesn’t look the best on an application. What is the exact reasoning for the dropout rate and the difficult with earning higher grades? Is it the the difficulty of the classes and how the professors teach, or something else?

Hey everyone! I will be in the process of applying to CRNA school in the next year or two and need some advice on improving my application and becoming a stronger candidate. My question is, should I consider taking additional grad level courses (advanced pharm and patho) in order to improve my application? I currently have an overall GPA of 3.78 and a nursing school GPA of 3.91. I have also retaken a couple of classes and received A’s in them. In regards to work and experience, I have my CCRN and currently work in a SICU with a little over a year of experience. I plan to take the GRE soon. I don’t mind paying for additional graduate level courses, but they are expensive. Should I take them now or wait to see if I get admitted during my first round of applications? Additionally, other than obtaining more experience, are there any other things that I should consider to improve my application? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
