  1. University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) CRNA - 2026

    I think depending on the program, how long you have been out of school and your years of experience can be a negative if it's greater than 5 years. Some schools want that sweet spot of 3-5 so not too...
  2. University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) CRNA - 2026

    I think what might be hurting you is how long it's been since you have been out of school. Your GPA is good but if it's been a decade since you took a class, it may make some schools hesitant to give...
  3. University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) CRNA - 2026

    When I interviewed a few weeks ago they said it's holistic. They have your app score so now your interview gets calculated into that and they decide from there. He said they take in account everything...
  4. University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) CRNA - 2026

    Getting an interview is them saying they like you on paper for their program. If they feel that after an interview that you are in the mold of what they want for their students and have the points to...
  5. They upped it this year to 55
  6. University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) CRNA - 2026

    I totally get that! I figured it's not worth waiting anymore on a program that hasn't given me any update
  7. University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) CRNA - 2026

    I have given up on hearing from them. I ended up interviewing and accepting another program so
  8. Yes! I just got my acceptance and would love to
  9. University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) CRNA - 2026

    Yeah I just got the email saying they are still processing applications and that my application is still in review. I assume in a few weeks they will have finalized the last interviews going
  10. So the 5.5 hours includes a tour of the building, breaks between the interviews and time to ask current students questions from what I gathered from the past students and an info session. From what...
  11. University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) CRNA - 2026

    I think with the application being rolling and having just closed, they still have a lot of people to go over. I saw last year's thread that some people didn't get offers until like July! They have a...
  12. University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) CRNA - 2026

    They do their interviews in waves so they should have another round of interviews soon. It's a rolling application so they started the first round of interviews in February and will go until
  13. I've been rereading my CCRN books, reviewing commonly used meds and devices I use on my unit, and practicing emotional intelligence questions. I have never done a group interview so this will be...
  14. On the interview invite it states that they won't send out your exact interview time until they have finalized every group time slot. They must be still finalizing everyone who said yes or no to the...
  15. University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) CRNA - 2026

    The 15th is the hard deadline so everything must be submitted by then. My final draft was a little over two pages so it is possible to answer all the questions succinctly. I went through a couple of...
  16. I got an invite and I haven't received anything about a tour or what time my interview is. I assume they are finalizing all the interview times and will get back to us
  17. I'm a second degree nurse with my first degree in biology. I have worked in a high acuity university hospital CTICU for almost 4 years with ECMO, impellas, RVADs, LVADs and IABPs. I'm a charge nurse,...
  18. I also got one with my name on it so I think it was a generic email sent out to everyone to give an
  19. At the information session, they said probably the earliest we would hear back is like mid march. They moved up the application closure date this year since they got so many applicants last year...
  20. Yeah I got one earlier this morning. I was confused for a second since they said in an open house usually around early to mid march they email out about interview requests but it's good to know they...
  21. I have had similar rejections from other programs so do not let this defeat you and keep applying! Retake any science class you got less than a B in or take a graduate level pathophys class online to...
  22. Okay I also never received an account after I submitted my application and paid the $30 to FIU. I am glad to know that I am not the only
  23. I think they are slowly making calls so keep your phone close by for tomorrow and
  24. I put tracking and signature required on my envelope so I could know is it was received at least. I think you can call them and confirm your application was received by
