Anyone out there get accepted to Albany's CRNA program starting this August 2015 and ending in November 2017? I'm looking for recommendations for places to live and to meet future classmates.

Ideally rent and H/HW/Elec would be I read that the neighborhoods of Melrose, Western Pine Hills, New Albany, Eagle Hill, Westland Park, Campus, and Buckingham Park are more desirable, at least per Wikipedia. Specifically, I found Stonehenge Gardens...

Apartment complexes or stand-alone property owners? Ideally it would be quiet as well. Are there any sites other than Craigslist and Apartments.com to search for student housing? Maybe an internal AMC intranet housing board, or an AMC classified se...

I got the acceptance notification back in March, but thought I had dreamed it until I got the official letter in the mail asking for my deposit in April. What area within 10-15 minutes from AMC is a good place to live? I don't want to deal with rush...

Clinical sites vary. Some are local, others are about an hour away. Longer clinical sites have housing arrangements. Clinical sites are listed on their webpage.

I interviewed a few months ago and was offered a position in class of 2017. One of the questions I asked the interviewers was about clinical hours. They track students' clinical hours and the director has a huge spreadsheet on her computer. She ra...

For those accepted and looking for housing away from campus, I recommend Rustic Village. It's 5 to 10 minutes drive from the SON. It's 1 or 2BR apartment living, and if you have a roommate to split the rent, electric, and internet, it's under $500 ...

TEXTBOOK question: Anyone know which textbooks we'll be using for the first semester? I'm trying to see if I can buy them off a friend of if the editions have changed and I need to buy the newer ones.

Are there any NY State residents here? Can anyone comment on the TAP grant and if we are eligible to receive it?

Ukes425, 2012perhaps stated on October 14th that s/he was accepted off the waitlist for January 2012. PS - Good Luck!

2012 perhaps, The info on the page below indicates 15 students get the scholarship. I'm not entirely sure if the 15 recipients are spread out between the 3 cohorts (5 per cohort), or if it's 15 per cohort for a total of 45. The former seems more li...

Can anyone who went thru the program or is in the program, comment on the medical and dental benefits offered by the school? I am trying to decide if waiting to fill two cavities and place a crown would be cheaper thru UR than my current dental insu...

VeeBeeG and SON14, If you guys don't get pulled off the waitlist for the Spring cohort, would you be opposed to waiting until Summer? I asked Elaine and I seem to recall that she mentioned that applicants who don't get accepted the first time are a...

Stephanie, I'm sure you've heard this before, but just be your calm, collected self and you'll do fine...especially if you have been practicing your interview responses.

veebeeG, I've been reading your posts and am rooting for you to get off the waitlist and accepted. Keep the spirit and hope alive!

Hi Stephanie, Speaking from experience, the tone of the phone interview (I only applied for the bachelor's) was very conversational and laid back, definitely not intense interrogation style. Read a few pages back and you'll some of the questions th...

Hi URHopeful, The good news is I received my packet today. The bad news is that's the postal worker left it sitting out in the rain. All the papers inside are wet. I picked up the packet and the papers essentially fell apart.

Thanks for the update URHopeful, By 20k, do you mean loans or scholarship funds? I was under the impression that the program does not give scholarships in that amount.

For those accepted, have you received anything in the mail? I got the call one week ago, but nothing in the mail. I'm starting to think I dreamed the whole thing...

I got a call last night around 9pm...I'm in! Anyone else get a phone call?

Is anyone who applied for the Spring cohort still taking any of the Fast Track courses? I'd like to know how that affects the decision date (if at all).

Hi all, I've been lurking on these forums for a while, so I wanted to contribute my experience. I had a phone interview with ***** for the spring 2012 cohort. It lasted approximately 45 minutes, and the questions asked were as follows: 1) how did yo...
