Rosalind Franklin University CRNA - May 2025

Updated:   Published

What Members Are Saying (AI-Generated Summary)

Members are discussing their experiences with being waitlisted and accepted into a nursing program, specifically focusing on the timing of notifications and the process of being waitlisted. Some members have received acceptance letters after being waitlisted, while others are still waiting for updates. There is also discussion about improving applications for reapplying and increasing science GPA for future applications.

Anyone applying to RFU's CRNA program for May 2025 start? Applications open today in NursingCAS. I don't see the application yet so I plan to check again later in the day.

I was also in the info session on the 10th, also placed on the waitlist today. It isn't a flat out no, but I won't be counting on it. I think most people are probably giving up their spots at other schools to come to RFU, not the other way around! 

Waitlist is one step ahead of a hold, definitely promising

Was this also a hold like the rest of us or did it explicitly say wait list?

 

just clarifying as I haven't seen any other wait list in the forums.

I think GPA CCRN and life experience/essay but I also think they value the interview question responses equally too.

That too, overlooked years of experience as I have 10 overall and 4ICU. Can't overlook diversity as well since they value and pride in their efforts to make CRNA Education more equitable!

I think the application questions including diversity statement and the Kira . RFU really seems major on DEI . I only had 2 years experience in a level 3 and got accepted so I don't think the years is a big deal . But also I do a lot of consistent volunteering in underserved populations so I wonder if that too is a factor. A lot of my experience and leadership and volunteering aims around diversity so maybe that's what helped me

Totally agree! One of the reasons why I chose to apply here, valuing diversity is a very important factor.
