Well...it's the week...update if you get an initial interview ?

I just have to know. Squirrel guy, if you are out there...did you get in?

Just be careful. Apparently they don't want anyone with too much experience either.

I know they all say it, but I really feel like this program does a comprehensive review of the person. I just had an interview so far, but talked to the director and after chatting with him, and the interview process I feel like they take a look at all the things to form am opinion of the person and if they will be a good fit for the program. Just an opinion though, can't say for sure what gets people in.

So I was the last person, 5 hours into interviews. Still I felt I had their undivided attention. I got some reactions, some stoic faces.

The whole state of it. Mind went blank on the clinical question, absolutely black whole. My other answers were I feel just lackluster. I prepared so many good answers and couldn't remember any of them.

Wow. Epic fail on that interview. For those of you who haven't yet, they are super supportive, they want you to succeed. You are your own worst enemy.

I was just making that comment to a friend. The stats aren't great, but some of us will have to get the spots. May the odds be ever in your favor

The post last year said 8-12 a day, 2x a week, for 3-4 weeks. Interviews started Oct 3. In the past it has been cohorts of 12.

Best of luck to everyone. Got my rejection letter today. Didn't even score an interview. Here are my "not good enough" statistics: Science GPA-3.44 GPA-3.47 All required courses satisfied, CCRN, CNRN, masters degree, 9 years in ICU-from level 1 down to small community hospitals, 135 hours of shadowing/clinical with CRNA across 4 different hospitals level 1,2 3 trauma and small community hospital, ran a 501c, volunteered at the library, 5 other consistent volunteer things, 1 committee at the hospital which included me representing them for magnet evaluation, aacn and ana membership, 3 professional conferences attended this year including 2 nursing, 1 anesthesia. Preceptor and charge experience and I teach to orient new nurses at my hospital. Apparently not good enough for this program. ?

Did you get an email today? The people who got Oct. 1 interviews got earlier emails. I don't know how they're going through applications, maybe by submission date...?

In week 3 of application review. Has anyone heard anything?

Last year applications were due September 15

So I got it last year, but didn't this year....

Following. Best of luck to everyone!
