Saint Mary's University of Minnesota Nursing Practice in Nurse Anesthesiology (CRNA) Class starting 2025

Published

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

I've heard alot of schools have gotten way more applications than in the past, IDK how many saint marys got but I can only imagine the stress of setting a goal to get invites out and not be able to meet that. I am from out of state, I have booked last minute flights just to have fun. If granted the opportunity for an interview, I'd make it happen to get there.  

Solid take. I like your attitude.

They have more than in the past but it's not a super high number compared to other schools. Not to the point that it would be a huge issue to have gotten this together by now. It's been over a month. And like was previously mentioned, we only submitted transcripts, our references did a Likert scale. Interviews would naturally be highly weighted on GPA. Even if it were 1000 applicants, a few people could make a put all of that in a spreadsheet in a week, tops. Take the top 100 GPA's and choose 75 to interview over those two days. 
 

If we hear today, okay - cutting it close but so be it. Next week though? That's gonna make people start wondering what's going on over there and are they a dialed program. 
 

The other programs I've applied to are super dialed. You know exactly what to expect.

It shouldn't have taken this long to send invites out when interview date is 2 weeks away.

Agreed. At this point it's just being realistic
