I live in Scottsdale, Az. The letter was dated Dec. 9 from the director of admissions. It stated there are over 30 applicants vie for every seat. Unfortunately I have only applied at Midwestern so far. I'm planning to take a couple of science classes this spring, retake the GRE and apply back east to a few schools along with reapplying to midwestern next year. I'm thinking about calling admissiions Mon. to see if they will give any feedback on what I should do to improve my chances next year. I know there not obligated, but I figure its worth a shot. Anyway,best of luck to you at Midwestern. Where else have you applied?

Atleast you got an interview. I applied to Midwestern University for the class of 2007 and found out today my application did not qualify for an interview. I had a 3.6 undergrad. gpa, ccrn, have been involved on mult. comm. The people that wrote my reference letters let me read them prior to sending and were great. I have worked in CV-ICU for 2 yrs. The bottom line is right now nurse anesthesia school is very competitive. I'm sure you are very qualified yet frustrated. Determination is key right now. If this is what you want to do apply where ever you can and ultimately have confidence in your intellectual and nursing ability and you will get in. Thats what I have to tell myself. I know my own weaknesses and plan to improve them and otherwise its hit or miss. We each know what we can do to improve our profile. We just have to keep moving forward and not take it personally, yet be realistic......
