USF CRNA low GRE vs. high Experience.

Nursing Students SRNA

Published

Hello guys. I have already submitted my application to the USF CRNA Fall 2018 program, and perhaps just looking for some peace of mind.

My GRE score is low: 144 Verbal, 149 Quant.

I had little time to practice for GRE (2 weeks or so), since I wanted to meet the priority deadline. But I think there's little more I can do to improve it, since English is a second languege for me and I haven't had algebra since 5th grade, and it was never in English. I am very good at math, took Calculus 2 years ago, but I felt like I was taking 2 English tests vs. math and verb. and ended up running out of time quickly.

I have 10+ years in ICU setting behind my belt: (Trauma ICU, Neuro ICU, Burn ICU, Surgical ICU, Medical ICU, Vascular ICU, Cardiac ICU, PACU). Including 2 years in level one Trauma Center (TGH) & 2+ years being an Agency Charge ICU RN in local hospitals.

I have 3 solid recommendation letters (CRNA, ICU Director/Supervisor, and MD)

I feel like my Statement of Purpose is very solid and personal.

I speak 5 languages.

Maybe someone has some input on the interview and if can sway the odds in my favor.

Or perhaps I should consider taking CCRN exam in 1 month from now (I took some practice tests and got 73.3% without practice).

Thanks

SERGE.

They interview was a little bit different a lot of psychological questions and how would I respond to certain situations with very few clinical questions. Raleigh is my top choice right now. Should know by next week if it's a no I'll more than likely go with USF.
