Rosalind Franklin University CRNA App 2023

Updated:   Published

Let's watch this Rosalind Franklin University application process together!

Notes: the app went live August 11th 2022 and it's a rolling application so get your stuff in asap. I went to the info session and it sounds like virtual interviews are being held between October and February and the invites for those start being sent out in early September. Offer letters started coming out last year in November. 

Post if you find out anything to share! Good luck to us all!

Congrats to those who got accepted and good luck to the others!! Tips for the interview? How long did and how you study/prepare?

I can’t say for others, but I would say, ‘Be yourself, be confident, be ready to answer different questions (might get a curveball).’ 
I started preparing before I got invite to interview. I prepared with series of Mock Interviews. I think it kinda built my confidence.

@DivineICURNnice!  Good for you!  I don’t interview until Dec 13.  All the other slots were full.  Crossing my fingers!

I don’t think they fill all the slots. I learned they interview about 10 applicants each session, admit few, and leave many slots open for upcoming sessions. Stay optimistic! Wishing you Goodluck!

I ended up declining my acceptance because I also received an admission at another school the same day! So one more spot for y’all! Goodluck on your journey everyone!

More congrats and good lucks to all! I interviewed with the first group but haven't heard back one way or the other yet.

My stats: 

GPA: 3.55 Science GPA: 3.7 

ACLS, BLS, PALS, CCEN, certified sedation registered Nurse cert, Sigma theta tau honor society 

2 research projects 

1 publication 

volunteering outside of work as a hobby 

20 hours shadow experience 

A LOT of leadership experience both in college and on my units, I was very involved on my college campus which I believe made me stand out but it also explained why I wasn’t a 4.0 student 

international volunteer opportunities 

CICU and travel float ICU; 3 years total experience  

My advice: definitely do your research on the university but I agree with the others above, show your personality, ask a lot of good questions (not ones that can be answered by a Google search)

I had a 3.3 science, 2 years ICU, CCRN certified,  no research experience. A little leadership- precepting. I did have some volunteer hours.  I truly believe it’s all about showing your personality and selling yourself.  I wouldn’t get too discouraged if your not the perfect candidate or don’t have a 4.0! I didn't have a 4.0 or research and I was accepted.

Thank you guys for sharing . You have given me a lot of hope.
