Jleech88 MSN, APRN, CRNA

I interviewed with the U of MN last year. The interview focused more on personality and "get to know you" type of questions (why anesthesia, why the U, why now, explain a situation when...etc.). No clinical questions were presented; however, there wa...

I received an acceptance letter yesterday; however I will be attending another program. My status never changed online. Best of luck!

Hi everyone, I've been a member on the forum for a few years and have spent some time combing through the SRNA posts in the pursuit of making my CRNA school applications as strong as possible. To make a long story short, I applied to 3 local CRNA sc...

In total, I received 2 flat-out rejection letters and 3 letters stating I was placed on an alternate list (totals for both years applying). I was fortunate to be accepted in my second year of applying and I know there are many individuals who apply f...

Just updating this thread to let everyone how the last year panned out. I followed through with the improvements I mentioned in my initial post. Of the two programs I applied to (both local) I was granted an interview at both programs and landed on ...

Thanks! I am in Minneapolis, roughly 15 miles from the school so the location could not be better.

I received a letter today from MSA, offering me a spot from the alternate list for the class starting this Fall. I'll be accepting and I'm very fortunate to have this opportunity. Best of luck to those in the application process.

andrewmorgan-Congrats! Out of curiosity, would you feel comfortable mentioning when the accept/decline deadline for the offer is?

Minn_RN My letter states I was not accepted by the admissions committee, but placed on a list of alternates for the class starting in Fall, 2017. It does specifically mention the alternate list.

Hi everyone, Just got my letter. I was placed on the alternate list this year. Best of luck to everyone still waiting to hear!

I just got off the phone with MSA. I was fortunate to set up an interview for January! Best of of luck to everyone.

Hi, I applied this year as well. I recently emailed the school and they stated we should be hearing something by the end of December at the latest. I was placed on the alternate list last year, so I'm hoping this year I'll be fortunate enough to land...

Hi Everyone, I am new to this site and the amount of information is astounding! I am looking to see if anyone can offer some advice/recommendations about my current situation. I graduated last May (2012) with a ADN and passed the NCLEX in June. I hav...

Hi everyone, Not to resurrect an old thread without any good information, so I figured I will share how my career path has developed since my initial post. One week after my initial post, I got in contact with the Director of Nursing at Abbott. I sh...

I was also fortunate to be offered an interview next week. Best of luck!

Congrats! I'm sitting on the alternate list at the moment. May I ask the date of the reply deadline? Thanks!

I received a response today from one of the schools l applied to with respect to my application inquiry. My application was stated to not be competitive this year as the majority of my core science courses were taken at a community college where I ea...

I received a response today from the school with respect to my application inquiry. My application was not competitive this year as the majority of my core science courses were taken at a community college where I earned my ADN. I'm in the process of...

I was interviewed at the school which I was wait-listed. One of the programs no longer conducts personal interviews and opts to use a goal statement. I'll admit that I'm limiting myself by only applying to local schools. This is largely based on my f...

Denied here as well. Did you guys happen to receive a letter or email? My application status simply states "denied". Thanks and best of luck to everyone!

I got my letter today and was placed on the alternate list. Does anyone have any idea how many people are placed as alternates? Best of luck to everyone still waiting to hear!

During my interview it was stated that we can expect to hear back late February, possibly early March. I'll be sure to let everyone know when I hear something. Best of luck!

I was fortunate to receive a call today and set up an interview for January. Best of luck to everyone!

Hi! I recently contacted MSA and they stated they are running a little bit behind this year. They said we should be receiving either a phone call or letter around mid-December. I'll let you know if I hear anything!
