Greetings everyone,
I am reaching out to see if a thread was created for Saint Mary's University CRNA class year starting in 2025. I applied some time ago and know that the application deadline has passed and am anxiously awaiting information LOL
Nothing yet. Kinda surprised TBH - seems like a less organized program compared to others I've applied to. Less communication. Clunky application. They don't accept letters of recommendation so the criteria must be very quantitative - GPA, Likert scale, etc. I'd think that would be easier to sort out, versus reading hundreds of rec letters... yet we're less than two weeks from the first interview slots (morning of the 8th), without word.
It's been said the best program is the one you get into, but CRNA school is tough enough - if a program doesn't have good processes and clear communication... nobody needs extra challenges during school for an already extremely difficult degree.
(Probably should keep my mouth shut, but…)

I think it's a totally appropriate and valid thing to say/point out. I'm also feeling a bit impatient and wondering some of the same things you had posted above. We are getting interviews at schools, yes, but we also have to make sure the school is a right fit for us.

Nothing here either. Also I probably checked this thread yesterday as much as my email. 😝
