Bump......

Congrats to those of you that got in! If you wouldnt mind sharing, could those of you who got in post your stats (GPA, GRE, ICU experience,...) for students who are going to apply in the future?

I am in my second year of my BSN and have a mindset to continue my education and pursue a career as an anesthetist. I graduated in 2007 from Bethany college with a bachelor's in chemistry. After working as an environmental chemist for 3 years i felt as if i had more to offer and decided to switch to a career in healthcare. My thought process was that as an anesthetist i would be able to use my my chemistry knowledge in a healthcare setting. I am in my second (and last!) year of nursing school for my BSN and will get an RN position in an ICU as soon as possible. My question is this... My chemistry GPA was 3.15. I will graduate with my BSN with a GPA of 3.75 or 3.8 ish. This will take my cumulative GPA only to around 3.4, but with a math and science GPA around 3.8. I have taken the GRE before and scored around 1100. After 2 years of ICU experience i will start applying to CRNA programs. Considering these circumstances will my previous bachelor's in chemistry actually hurt my chances of being accepted into a CRNA program because it is dragging down my cumulative GPA? I have read through some of these forums and it seems that there is some very good information and posters and i would appreciate you input!
