I was not accepted, but I am okay with it. I think the CRNA dream has passed. COVID has given me a lot of perspective. I want to enjoy my family, my free time, get my pilot's license, play the piano again. Not go into debt, 3 years of hell, stressful situations (what if I can't get the intubation and no one else is around? I pull the cric kit? I don't want that stress) to help people that sometimes don't want to be helped. The cons outweigh the pros for me at this point. Best of luck to everyone.

From a current student

I was told only 86 applied because covid money is so good right now no one wants to go into debt to go to CRNA school ?. I believe they accept 25.

Same!!

Nope, just obsessively refreshing my email and this page ??.

I received my rejection letter on Sept 5th last year via mail.

Hey there 3rd time applicant to NU here. I interviewed the first year but they were worried about my GPA. Retook some courses, built a rapport with the director, attended open houses and even shadowed a class of the physiology professor who was so hard on my GPA. Then I reapplied only to find out most of the faculty left so I did not get an interview. I was have been in contact with the asst director and he said "I look forward to your application and interview" so I'm trying not to get my hopes up but I reallllly want this! Interview is all personal questions and via Zoom this year. You'll get a link to the critical thinking test which is a little weird but you can't study for it. Good luck! ?Don't mind me, I'll just be anxiously checking my mail every day??

I am going to defer 1 year and give CRNA one more try so that opens up one spot in the AGACNP program!

I assume they wait for priority applicants to accept, then offer to those who applied later?

AGACNP- with an intensivist specialty. I figured if I couldn't do CRNA, then throwing in A-lines, central lines, and intubating as an ICU NP would still make me happy. I feel so grateful to have been accepted and I hate taking a spot that someone else could have. But the thought of ANOTHER year at the bedside if I don't get into CRNA school just kills my soul LOL.

I really lost my passion and motivation for it after that last rejection. I worked so hard to build a rapport with the faculty and they had a mass exodus. But this new asst director seems really good and I think I have a good case for admission. I just don't want to put all my eggs in one basket. Plus I figured Fall at Vandy would really discipline me and maybe give me a head start on my potential classmates, academically speaking.

Same. Mine was only $4200 I think. I'm not sure I can justify taking out $150k in loans to help with living expenses. I actually gave up on CRNA school after 12 rejections over about 4 years. However, one program director said he was impressed with my dedication and wanted to interview me this August for a December start. I'm not sure if I should start Vandy and drop out if I get in, or just not start and hope for CRNA this Fall.

@PiperLambieDid you apply before the priority deadline?

I WAS ACCEPTED TO THE AGACNP PROGRAM!

I can't remember exactly but there is a link somewhere on the site to an exit survey from the students and it has those numbers (how many surveys were sent and how many were filled out).
