That's awesome! Congrats

Has anyone received their rejection yet? I still have heard nothing so I'm assuming I was not accepted but just wondering if anyone has heard anything else.

Does anyone know if they are still offering spots? I have kind of admitted defeat and am getting ready to plan my move to Cincy for their anesthesia program, but even a generic denial letter would be nice...

so wait does that mean they have to have all offers out before 7/20 to give people the full 10 days? I feel like it would not be fair to give someone who was accepted 7/25 five days to pay a deposit when 90% of the class had 10...

Are they calling one person a day ? like a lenten season of Pitt Anesthesia admissions. Honestly I wish they would just let the rest of us know so we can prepare or move on. This is a really frustrating process for a program that is amazing from what I've heard.

Honestly, I would like to just have an answer at this point, regardless of whether it is a denial or not. I interviewed March 28th- 3.5 months ago. Like an admission or denial should not take this long. I had my Pitt application completed in September, so we are literally going on a year with this ? there just has to be a better way to do this.

Hey there! I don't mind sharing my stats. Pitt was the first interview I had this cycle. This is my first attempt to apply to CRNA school. Academic: I graduated from a community college here in Pittsburgh in 2018. My GPA was a 3.3. I worked full time as a PCT throughout nursing school. I then started at West Virginia University for my BSN in 2019, graduated in 8/2020 and earned a 3.9 GPA, for an undergraduate GPA of a 3.5. I graduated cum laude. I was a member of Sigma Theta Tau- Alpha Rho chapter. I started at the University of Cincinnati for my MSN, which will be completed in 12/2024. My GPA is a 3.6, and I am a member of Sigma- Beta Iota chapter. Work experience When I graduated in 2018, I started in an ICU that was 24 beds and we cared for both medical and cardiothoracic patients, including TAVRS, ablations, CABG and valvular repairs. I was there for a year and a half. Travelled a bit. Then I was charge nurse at a hospital here in Pittsburgh. It started as a Covid ICU and progressed to a medical/surgical ICU as the pandemic became less prevalent. I was there for 2 years. While I was there I was VP of our Unit- Based Council and implemented a process for proper collection of blood cultures. I then went to another Pittsburgh Health system as an internal traveller and I did that for 2 years, working in all levels of trauma (Level I-IV) in a variety of medical, surgical, neuro-vascular, neuro-trauma, trauma and CV ICUs. Total ICU and RN experience will be 6 years at commencement of the program. Extracurriculars I honestly did not include anything that wasn't apparent from my resume, transcripts or personal statement. I did shadow for 8 hours but did not include it in my Pitt application since it was not required. I have my CCRN, ACLS, PALS, TCRN certifications. Other I did not take the GRE seeing as I will have a Master's at matriculation. I feel that my personal statement was strong. It explained my complicated path to CRNA school, as well as what I wish to accomplish as a nurse anesthetist. I had really strong recommendations from my supervisors and mentors. I got about 4-5 letters (even though I think Pitt only accepted 3). Finally, I was admitted to the University of Cincinnati. I accepted because I wanted to have a spot somewhere instead of applying all over again. My interview with them was April 6th and I found out literally the 13th of April LOL. That being said, still holding out for Pitt (I really do not want to move and upend my life here) but UC did offer a comprehensive financial package that would only require me to pay about $9000/year using federal funds. Good luck to you in this journey! It's a crazy ride but requires a lot of self reflection

I haven't. I was looking at the previous year admissions cycle and most of them found out in July. So I am assuming that is how they will handle admissions this year

Oh wow! They said they were going to let us know sometime in the next few weeks for the first round interview. That does kind of stink for people who are waiting for an offer and have another offer. Oh well. Here's to the long haul LOL

I just got another email from UC detailing the acceptance requirements. So hopefully you get that! I don't expect to hear from Pitt today. I think they have another round of interviews so hopefully next week!

Awwww congrats! I am actually shocked I got into UC cause my interview went horribly LOL but I'm at UC for both my Masters degrees RN and it is a really good school. I live in Pittsburgh so it would just be easier to not move LOL but UC is a great school. Maybe we will be classmates!

I hope we hear something soon! I got an offer from UC so I would like to know all my options before I make a decision. ?

Has anyone who interviewed on 3/28 received a confirmation of admission? Just curious as they said they will be reviewing things in a couple weeks. getting nervous LOL

Hi everyone! I'm applying to CCAC for the spring of 2015 admissions cycle. My first choice of campus is Boyce day, but I must say I am a little nervous about the admissions process. I was accepted in Boyce Campus OTA program in the spring of 2014 (sort of a mid-life crisis type thing, unsure whether nursing was the right way to go with my career) but their system of weighting points and such is much different than the nursing program. Any input on the process, how the points influenced your GPA, or the program in general are greatly appreciated! Thanks guys and good luck!

Got accepted a few weeks ago! Excited to meet the rest of the 2015 class! Congrats to all accepted :) See you at orientation in Mid-June
