I unfortunately had to turn down my interviews for Denver Health and Anschutz today. I hope that opens up another spot for someone else. Good luck to all!

anyone interviewing at other programs?

I didn't even get to apply due to the prelim application submission. Supposedly, they stopped giving out counseling sessions if you sent in CV and transcripts after August. I submitted mine late September and was told to apply again next year. Wish I would have known there are a limited number of sessions or else I would have submitted my materials mid June. Plus, the website states "...counseling session, if needed". Probably my fault :\

Got some advice and insight from a recent TWU graduate. Might help you determine between Denver Health and University if you get the option of choosing. I've worked at both and loved DH much more. Here's what he said: "Texas Wesleyan has it's issues but it is a solid program and if you train at Denver Health you will be well prepared for a career as a CRNA. The strengths of the program are the physiology professor (he's very good) and the training you receive at Denver Health, which is fantastic. The university clinical site has more issues but you'll still be well prepared when you graduate. The problems with the program are that it's expensive, and some of the faculty at TWU don't treat the students professionally. I didn't have any problems with the distance learning option - I liked being able to stay in Denver and as long as your fellow students are into studying together and figuring things out as a group it works well. I did clinical rotations in Salida (rural anesthesia, CRNA only practice), Little Rock, Arkansas (peds) and Mobile, Alabama (hearts). Those change year to year (at least the heart rotation has). For the most part these experiences were great minus the travel and expense of getting/staying there. Some are better than others tho and you don't have any say in it. You get what you get. There are plenty of better programs than TWU out there that cost less. That said - TWU is a solid program and you won't regret having trained there (other than the loans). You will be well prepared to go anywhere as a new grad. Its a great option if you want to move back to Colorado. But if you are pretty flexible you might find something better/cheaper."

Also, include in the message your email address that you use for Facebook so I can send an invite.

Hmm, maybe because it's private. Search Kevin William Chavez on facebook and send me a message. Should be a picture with my fiancée on my back ha

Got a letter today... rejected for traditional start in June. Does anyone know what I can maybe do to improve my chances next time? I have a good GPA from the University of Denver and I'm male. I'm really confused.
