I'll be at the Valley starting August 2009.....I know at least 6 people who attended and didn't have any complaints about the program. All are practicing successful anesthesia. So, maybe I'll see you there. Good Luck with your decision, I completely understand how hard it is.

Allegheny/Laroche interviewed and accepted-starting Aug 2009

Congrats! If you were accepted to OLOL, you should have a pretty good shot in Oakland! OLOL seems to have very competitive candidates! So only the best 30 get in. What is your 1st pick? How many schools did you apply to?

Yes, I am from Louisiana what about you? I'm sure by the time you read this you will have received your letter. I heard it's a letter for yes or no. I will be attending the Allegheny/laroche college program in Pittsburgh. I know so many people from Louisiana who attended and loved it.

Well, OLOL is a no for me. I received the letter in the mail today. Looks like I'm pittsburgh bound! I did not have a good interview.....The PD was focused on my "lack of experience" which I don't understand b/c I have 6 yrs cvicu, icu, sicu and 5 years cath lab/radiology.....I think b/c I don't currently work in critical care she decided I was "poor experience"......they need to change there requirements to say "must be current in critical care"...... Regardless, I will be a CRNA in 2011............Yippee!! Good Luck to all!

Yes, I interviewed in Pittsburgh and got accepted.....at least I know I'm in for 2009 I did have another interview in Florida but declined. I guess we will know next week....... What other schools are you interviewing?

Well, the interview was ok.....I'm not sure I got a good feeling....you know that gut feeling..... How did yours go? I was told by a student that the decisions will be made this Thrusday and letters will be mailed on Friday. Good Luck!

A little of both for me too. This is definitely gonna be a new, exciting, stressful chapter. We plan on moving up there in the freezer around August (maybe the weather will be good..at least on our arrival, so we can slowly work our way into dressing like an eskimo....ha)...depends on my husbands new job...but most likely August.

Anyone received interview letters for Fall 2009 start? They should be coming anyday now........

Nope not yet, I was just wondering the same thing. I will post as soon as I receive anything. R u getting excited or nervous or both?

Ram RN and AGHTRAUMA, I am so glad to hear from you. We will be spending alot of time together I'm sure. Our lives are about to change.....how exciting.....eat, sleep, study, class, clinical, eat, sleep, study, class, clinical.... I've been out of school since 1997 so this will def. be a change. My husband and I will also be moving to Pittsburgh in Aug. From what I hear the North Hills area is good and many former out of state students live there. AGHTRAUMA let me know if you have any other suggestions on places to live. I'm sure we will all have many more questions so lets keep in touch! For me to be able to send you a private message, you have to have 15 posts (I think). Thanks Kellee

Yep, Allegheny Valley it is! Where r u from? I'm gonna be moving from Louisiana. I'm really excited and nervous at the same time but I am ready! When was ur interview?

:yeah:Looking for Allegheny students accepted for Sept 2009 start. Can't wait to meet you.

well, i understand your concern completely. i had an interview scheduled for feb. also but cancelled it because i found out i got accepted to another program. wolford was my last pick of 3 that i applied to. my problem is i don't personally know anyone who attended the program so it is very difficult to make a solid judgement....the only info i know about wolford is what i read on forums. good luck and hope someone can help you.

rndee81, thanks soooo much, you are my new best friend! The info is beyond helpful! PM you soon!
