I'm a current student at the University of Maryland Program (senior...can't wait til December!!). Just wanted to share a few facts and opinions about the prgm. It's a 28-month program... the school year begins in August, so obviously the class of 2008 has already been selected and will start in about a week. Relatively new program, my class was the first group admitted so I can't tell you anything about national ranking or boards passing rate, but overall we have the advantage of having our clinical experience at such great medical institutions as Johns Hopkins Hospital, "The" Shock Trauma Center, and of course the Univ. of MD Medical Ctr, among several other hospitals in Baltimore and Washington DC. As far as entry requirements, minimum 1yr adult critical care experience (most people who are admitted have between 3 to 10 yrs of experience), no official minimum GRE score total, but those admitted have 1100-1300 and above. Very competitive, high GPAs go a long way. An average of 50-100 applicants, about 20 accepted per class. Hope this helps...

hi there propofol, good hearing from you... i sent you an email.

Inaugural class - Univ of MD, Baltimore... orientation on August 17, classes start August 30. I'm very excited, but a little apprehensive about going back to being a poor college student again. Would love to hear from any prospective classmates (FutureSRNA, r u there?). Just out of curiosity, how large are the programs at TCU and TWU? Seem like every other posting is from someone who's currently there, someone who just got accepted, or someone planning to apply there!
