Ranking does not matter at all. Personally what are they basing their ratings on? A good program to go to would be one that gives a good regional experience. Has CRNA only\rural clinical sites for you to attend. Those are the things you want to look at. do you get to place double lumen tubes? Do you get a goods peds rotation atleast 4-6 weeks at a pediatric hospital? 100% first time pass rate on boards. Do they have plenty of clinical rotations outside of the area that the program is located? Don't be fooled by rankings that measure unimportant criteria for their rankings. Ask current and former students of the program you want to attend. The program should not have a problem giving out the names of people you can contact or having them contact you.
