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

[CVICU to Anesthesia]

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

Sounds like it. I didn't receive an interview either 🥹

This is very hard to believe, but I'm still pretty disheartened. I'm sorry everyone! This isn't a great feeling.

I think with St Mary's if you don't have a recent Chem and CCRN you're at a pretty significant disadvantage. Heard that from a former grad of their program. No worries everyone - if not this program, another and if not this year then next. 🙂

I have a recent O chem from Spring (4.0) and my CCRN as well. There may have just been a lot of applicants. It will be interesting to know how many there were. I hope we can get some kind of notification about not being offered an interview- I'm assuming more of us are Type A's and we would like to know so we can stop wondering.

I have both, plus my masters. My undergrad GPA was pretty trash so I blame that.

Guys, my best guess is they invited a small cohort to interview. Just surprised how many of us didn't get invited. 

[Tanner Shane, MSN]

Didn't get anything either 😕

Has it been confirmed all interviews offers are out?

IDK why they wouldn't just send the rejection emails out with the interview offers...like think of all the people that aren't in this forum who have no idea they've even sent out interview offers so far and are still waiting to hear back. With less than a week and a half's notice that's not very considerate!

Reasonable point. If I wasn't in this thread I'd really be wondering.

Eh I think Saint Mary's is kinda known for a degree of disorganization. They also have less requirements than other schools, which naturally comes with a significantly increased applicant pool to choose from. Don't put your eggs in one basket folks!

[ICUluva]

Haha this is 1 of 8 schools I applied to but definitely a top 3 pick!
