emails are out !

I called and asked today and they said that's the last date. Apparently they sent out emails at some point saying it needed to be taken prior to interview decisions. But I never got that email.

Did anyone else not realize the Casper had to be taken prior to interview results? The website says to take it once you know about interview decisions but apparently they sent out emails awhile back to take it prior. I never got this email since I didn't start the application until June.

OMG just checked and I got one! does anyone know how many interviews they give?

I haven't heard anything. Should I assume I didn't get an interview?

I got an invite for interview today! Does anyone know how many interviews they gave?

Thank you so much! I really appreciate hearing other’s stories. I’m thankful for the words of encouragement

Of course those goals change. NP and CRNA seem like an awesome thing to do while we’re in school but we all also know that just isn’t gonna be reality for all of us. And I’ve already seen with a lot of my classmates that they’ve fallen in love with nursing and certain units that they no longer see themselves pursing a higher degree. I totally agree that GPA is just one factor in the whole process of getting into CRNA school but my entire point of my post was just based on the GPA portion. I’m the type of person that excessively worries about certain things so my post was just looking to know from people with knowledge about the admission process if I should even have this goal without a 4.0 GPA. I have now gotten this answer and still feel hopeful that I will obtain the experience I need in order to be successful in CRNA school. I just didn’t understand why it was needed to discourage someone who just simply asked a question and has a goal. It seems you are a bit bitter about this subject for some reason. I look forward to being an RN but it’s not a bad or unreasonable goal for me to want to pursue CRNA before I have years and years of experience.

What does that have to do with anything? I don’t think it’s a terrible thing that a lot of BSN students have high hopes for themselves even if it more than likely won’t happen for every single one. All I wanted from this post was to hear from CRNAs/people that had been through the CRNA school admission process. It seems as though you want to give discouragement to me just simply because of having the goal of going to CRNA as soon as I can. I just don’t see that as being a bad goal.

Hi, thank you for your feedback. I do realize that lots of CRNA students aren't right out of school but it is my goal to get in as soon as possible. I have met multiple people that this was possible for, but I do realize that it is not very common.

I'm currently in a BSN program and will be graduating in a year. I have always dreamt of being a CRNA, but I keep getting discouraged because of how hard I hear it is to just get accepted. I had hoped once I got into my nursing program I would be able to maintain a 4.0 but that has just not been the case. I think I have around a 3.5 (all A's and B's). My science classes I took before like anatomy, chem, orgo, and Microbiology I had like a 3.7 GPA overall. I do not think I have bad grades but I am scared they won't be competitive enough for CRNA school. I would love any and all input or advice!
