  8. Is this enough to get in???

    CaslaRN replied to lovegasRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I have to disagree with the above quote. You are applying for a CRNA program not an MD one. I think references from RNs/CRNAs way heavier than from an MD. However, in the end it really matters what...

    CaslaRN replied to bridgfor428's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    CaslaRN replied to srnabound3997's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Are you willing to move? If so apply to Barry as well. Mercer is hard to get into but worth a try. Also apply to MCG. The key is to have great LORs, GRE >1000 and be outstanding in the interview....

    CaslaRN replied to giddygiddygirl's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist
