I'm also planning on applying for January 2016. Done with the GRE and I'm about to start a Biochemistry course to help boost my science GPA and as a general refresher. Also studying for CCRN, should have it by mid April. So exciting!

Me too! Just got my CCRN, 91/125 it's not that bad. Do they ask your score?
I know they used to ask your total correct on the CCRN, either during the application process or at the interview. Not sure if they still do.
Just passed the CCRN!! Sending in my application!! Good luck to everyone!!
Anyone else sent their stuff in?? I'm so ready to just interview so we can know!! Ahhhhhhhh!!!! September is so far away!!
If you're comfortable sharing stats I'm curious to hear how everyone stands going in since everyone who meets the admission requirements is invited to interview.
I can start
BSN GPA 3.77
MSN in progress GPA 4.0
GRE 152 quant, 158 verbal, 4 writing
1.5 years PICU experience
Certs: BCLS,ACLS,PALS, CCRN

I will be applying this year for January, 2016 start!! Just got my PALS today, will hopefully have my CCRN by late May/early June. This will be my first time applying anywhere, so I am both excited and extremely nervous.
Will also send all my stuff in soon.
BSN 3.9
GRE 382, Writing 5
2.5 years CVICU
ACLS, PALS, CCRN
I think you made a typo with you gre score
The highest combined score you can get is a 340
^looks like somebody's jealous they didn't get 382 on the GRE. I wish I had done that well too, but I'm happy for ohyeah cause she/he apparently blew the roof off that stinky awful test. (ohyeah pls pm me your secrets)
For real though, I got 323 and 4.0 forGRE, will have 1 yr 9 mo experience Cardiac / medical icu (not much surgery), total GPA 3.6, but bsn 3.3. Mainly I'm counting on Jedi mind tricks to dazzle the interviewers into accepting me. Failing that, I'm considering robbing a bank and bribing more qualified applicants to decline their spots. If they refuse said bribes, I know a guy named "Big Mike" who is very persuasive. My plan is bulletproof. Could you guys all post your full names, addresses, and SSNs please??
My fingers are crossed that the interviewers will just sense my dedication and accept me immediately.
