    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...

    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...

    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

    NCVICU replied to ICUtraumanurse's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    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
