Samford University

[ecat81]

Anyone heard anything about Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama? I know their program is fairly new but wondering if anyone out there has heard good/bad/in-different?

Thanks,

Ben

I got my letter today. See you guys in September!

P.S. The letter stated that they are inviting 60 people

I have my letter of thanks but no thanks. I am just interested. Would those of you who get the "come on down" letter please post some of you stats...GPA> GRE> Experience.....Congrats to those who get an interview...I know you have truly worked hard.

I applied to Samford this year as well, but didn't get a letter today!

Kinda worried, not gonna lie.

3.5 undergrad GPA

3.65 science GPA

3.75 graduate GPA (5 classes. Main ones that I think helped adv. patho, adv. pharm. taught by Samford teachers at UAB, anesthesia research and stats offered by UAB, an A in each) Also worked full time while going to school full time to show good time management.

1030 GRE, probably what hurt me the most

1 year ICU exp. with CCRN, ACLS, BLS.

Shadowed for 8 days with CRNA

Didn't get my letter yet but I'm confident as I talked to some of the staff in person.

4.0 M and S

3.73 Nursing

3.85 overall

1220 GRE

1 year ICU ACLS will have CCRN in September

does any body know how many applicants there were total?

I havent heard anything yet either. Hopefully tomorrow

They usually get a little more than twice the number they interview

[AbeFrohman, BSN, RN]

I think she means the number of applicants not the interviewees. I think a good guess would be about 300-400. No way to really tell.

If you were asking for interviewees it's 23 spots and 60 interviews. Coming to a whopping 38% chance if you get a interview letter.
