Good luck everyone! We've got this!! I am sooo nervous!! I feel like I'm going to faint and throw up. LOL Hopefully, that happens off Zoom

Hey Laura! I think it kind of depends. You could ask Shawna (SMU's academic advisor) for her advice. If you did poorly in science courses and then take it, it will bring up your science GPA. I took it at UCD as an undergrad years back and got ...

Yes! I would LOVE to! How do I message you my info? LOL

ICUtrauma nurse- Did you ask them how many people they were interviewing? Do you know how many people applied?

I got an email too! ? Hopefully, we'll all be classmates!

Congrats! Good luck on the interview!

Yeahhhh!! I'm glad you got one!

My heart dropped when I saw your post in my email! The thread shows up as "Samuel Merritt CRNA" and I thought it was SMU. LOL It's getting close!! The original email said decisions would go out on the 18th... feels like time us ticking backward...

Hi! I'm not too sure... but the admissions director was saying it's personality based and not clinical. So probably along the lines of "what's your strength/ weakness" type questions if I were to guess. I'm sure they'll ask why SMU and why CRNA ...

One point is still one point higher! I raised my verbal by one, but my quant went down by one.... so a net raise of 0. ?‍♀️ I'd love to do mock interviews with you!! Is there a way to message through this forum? I can give you my info and we ca...

Haha yeah, that makes sense. Sounds like you've got a great chance! Hopefully, I'll be in the class with you! How did you do on the GRE? Did you retake it?

I bet you'll get in this year if you got an interview last year! What did they say to improve upon for this year? Good luck!!

That's awesome you were able to raise it to a 3.36!! Which classes did you retake?

Yeah- they said I needed to increase my science GPA since it was sub 3.0 last year. Is this your first or second year applying?

Nope... against my better judgment I'm putting all my eggs in the SMU basket. Did you apply for Kaiser and Loma Linda?

That looks like an awesome organization! I bet it was a great experience. Thanks for the info... if I don't get in this time around I plan on volunteering abroad.

Your stats look impressive to me! If I were on the admissions committee, you'd be a shoe in! That's awesome you did a mission abroad! Where'd you go and what organization did you go through?

When I took the GRE they were doing construction in the building... imagine hammering and power tools non-stop while trying to apply arcs and all that circle stuff. Don't know why they didn't have a disclaimer about the noise. The average last year w...

It's pretty rough! Yeah, my science GPA wasn't the best so I had to go back and take Chem, bio, and physics to raise it. It's now at a 3.04.. so not that competitive, so hopefully things other than GPA get me an interview. How is your science GPA? A...

Hi! They review applications over Christmas break and let people know around January or February. Interviews are in March. I'm applying for a second time this year... fingers crossed we all get in!! How'd y'all do on tbe GRE? I haven't don...

No, I didn't get an interview ? my science GPA was right under a 3.0. Time for some expensive online science courses.

For thoes of y'all who got an interview or acceptance- would you be willing to share your stats? I'm hoping to apply again next year... hopefully, it's just my low science GPA that's keeping me down.
