   Has anyone else been admitted from the wait list?

   ICU_underdog replied to AdventureOrNothing's topic in SRNA

   I didn't get that far. I know one person who did. It seems as though everyone on hold is reevaluated after interviews are completed. I think for your own sanity and success, don't wait on RFU. Start considering ways to strengthen yourself now because...

   Last year I was out on hold and finally got a rejection in March. I know several people who were also on hold with the same experience. If you're on the wait list, then that's different and you have a chance! The best thing you can do is focus o...

   Unfortunately, yes. And they do not have any plans to review "on hold" applications (no scheduled review dates). This means that they will go through 4 months off interviews, see what comes in, and then they will look at you again if they have a sho...

   Thanks! I'll let you all know if I get good news from Rush! I've heard they admit a lot of people from the wait list, so I'm trying to stay positive about this year. Go kick some metaphorical butt at your interview!

   I got on the wait list at Rush. I can't go out of state since I have a family. But I'm really hoping a spot opens for me at Rush! I might look more into CRNA prep academy. I'm also going to take a couple grad classes at Rush that will count...

   ICU_underdog replied to icunurse_22's topic in SRNA

   I wasn't able to get any feedback about why I was not invited for an interview after doing everything that they requested. I was told that they cannot give details while my application is in process. I'm going to withdraw since I already know the ...

   I kept in touch with -------------------- and ----------------------- and did everything they asked. There was little emphasis placed on biostatistics since I have a biochem degree already with grad work. Since last year: - charge nurse at tw...

    I was just placed on hold for the 2nd time. I am not sure how to process this as I submitted a pretty amazing application this year. I might try again next year if I can figure out any way to make my application any better. Good luck to you all.

    ICU_underdog replied to AdventureOrNothing's topic in SRNA

    I approached them with the position of planning for next years application. I planned a meeting with an advisor and asked what I could do differently for next year to be a stronger candidate. Even though being on hold is unhelpful, you might find som...

    ICU_underdog replied to AdventureOrNothing's topic in SRNA

    I was on hold last year, and it was basically a soft denial. I am not sure why this is even an option, since it becomes a list of applicants that are only pulled if they don't get other qualified applicants. My friend was also on hold last year and w...

    Congrats! I'm still waiting and hoping!

14. RUSH CRNA FALL 2024

    ICU_underdog replied to NY1226's topic in SRNA

    Nothing here. But I really don't think we should expect much until January. It seems likely that in January most of the other schools will be sending acceptances. At that point, there's probably some out of state applicants that will take a ...

    I just got the wait list email as well. Quite the bummer, but there's at least a chance of still getting admitted.
