It won't let me respond privately, just be yourself, they're all really nice! It's more personal

Hey! I thought it went very well. What did you think?

I did, I also have an interview at USC the next day, hopefully I get to see you there. I'm currently at starbucks reviewing cases! I am originally from Stockton, so it would be nice to go back home. I did get into TWU, but that was my very last choice. I'm lucky I got into a level A trauma center in socal, and played all my cards right because my GPA is not competitive at all, I couldn't believe they gave me an interview

I got Colton, CA. I live around this area so it is convenient for me! My 2nd choice was Denver as well. I hope all the best for you! Let me know if you have any questions on your journey

My GPA was 3.1 as well and I was able to get it up to 3.39...painfully and with a lot of time since I was working full time. I say, just keep taking science classes when possible and must must get an A! lol But a lot of the interview I believe was swayed because of my personality and the questions I asked about their programs. I had them talking politics about Obama care etc. They loved it. As for the pre crna inquiry, im not sure where that is. I used this site mostly to compare myself to fellow CRNA applicants, but when it comes down to it, it's just about you and how you present yourself to the board. Definitely not as bad as I have read from other posts.

Mully, THank you for your advice. They offered me a spot right after the interview! I'm going to wait until I hear from SM or USC, before I make a decision. Thanks for responding, greatly appreciate it!

I just got in! They gave me a spot at my #1 clinical site of choice, right after the interview (: They asked me about PEEP, Neuro, ICP, EVD. Since my specialty is Trauma and Neuro. It was not as bad as I thought it was going to be, to be honest. Just smile a lot and look over CCRN material!

Yeah. I work at an institution that has the program, and by the sounds of it, it's really tough. I don't have doubts that eventually I will get in, be it this year or the next 2

I have an interview with TWU in 2 days. They didn't give me much time to prepare, so I'm going to just search these forums for possible questions. Again, I truly appreciate your advice and will take all I can get

Hi Mully and thank you for replying. As for my stats I am aware I am scraping it to get in. With this fact, I have gone out of my way to see all the directors of each school (except gonzaga and texas) with an informal personally meeting, so they know my face. I have As in chemistry, physics, and patho. I have raised my GPA from a low 3.2. Been in school non stop and I'm not stopping. It's just been a heck of a road, I'm wondering how you think I could prepare for an interview? Other than CCRN
