Samuel Merritt CRNA 2021

Published

hello all, 

wanted to start a thread for those of us applying to SM's CRNA program this year for 2021! 

Specializes in Icu.

I'm not 100% sure, but you take less classes the first year I know.  When I applied the last year there was an option to say you were interested in doing it as a 3-year. I don't recall it being on the app this year. Do y'all?

I don’t.  looks like it’s just three courses in the first year that make it less impactful when you start the following year. I found this online although a few years old.  Pages 38-40 kinda explains it.

 I just assumed they will be offering a 3 year track this year too but thinking about it, it wouldn’t make sense because it’s the last masters class.... I figure people from last years interview picked the 3 year option and the 27 seats available is due to clinical placement... so just my guess, not really sure.

Yesss! I'll post too, as soon as I hear either way. Monday is going to be a VERY long day! 

@MICUbunny is SMU your top school?

Did they tell you they would let you know Monday? For me they told me Monday/Tuesday.

Oh okay. I'm just reading too much into things... I was like if they told me Monday/Tuesday is that because rejection emails go out on Tuesday?! Haha

Haha I guessed your mind was going there because mine would too.

Does anyone know how many people they waitlist?  I kind of recall hearing 15... but that seems like a lot.

I attended a webinar and the director stated the waitlist was 15 people.
