I have been rejected from 2 CRNA schools in my area and I am feeling at a loss.
I plan on applying to TCU for Jan 2019 and it will be my top choice since I will be moving to Dallas for my significant other's job.
Those who have been accepted in the past- do you mind posting your stats or letting me know what they really look for?
I will have 2 years CVICU, 1 year ICU float pool, all at level 1 trauma academic medical centers before application, CCRN-CSC, 3.3 GPA (went to a top nursing school that is highly regarded that no one had over a 3.5 in because it is a huge weed out program). I have taken 2 grad courses (Adv patho and Adv pharm)- A's and I am considering taking Biochem to boost my undergrad science GPA.
Currently waiting to hear back from TWU but have not yet.
I have a letter of rec from an anesthesiologist, CRNA, and nurse manager.
Glad to have found this group here and looking forward to seeing some of you post acceptance in a few months! :)
I am am finishing my application now, just waiting on shadow verification form and need to hustle and get PALS. This will be my first time applying and I'm crossing all fingers and toes! So nervous!
I have nearly five years experience in MICU and Neuro ICU at a level one teaching facility, GRE 306 V156/Q150 and still waiting on AW score, 3.6 BSN gpa but a weak science gpa from my ADN. CCRN since 2016.
Just a few more days left to send your stuff in. I finally got my manager to complete his LOR and the Clinical Verification form so I will be sending everything off in the morning since I'm working tonight. First CRNA school application is officially completed. Hope to hear good things from everyone in the near future. Where did everyone put as their #1 clinical site? I put Tulsa, Oklahoma since that is where I am located. Anyone else in the Oklahoma area applying?
I'm wondering when we will hear about interviews? A co-worker that applied last year got his interview letter on the 10th of July but going back through previous year's threads have shown a variable dates. Straight from TCU website, "Interview dates for 2018 are August 28, 30 and September 4, 6. Candidates will be notified of admission status by October 15."
Now the waiting begins. If they follow the same schedule as last year then we should know about interviews next week. I've been working on getting into CRNA school since 2013 when I started back to school. 5 long years and my goals are almost in sight.

I put Tulsa as my primary site as well! I work at Oklahoma Heart Institute in the CV ICU! Where do you work? Waiting for the email is the worst!
Lol, well I've probably met you at some point. Good luck to you! I'm really hoping to get in to TCU so that I can do my residency at hillcrest. From what I hear, it's the best place to gain experience.
Hey everyone! First time applicant for CRNA programs. All documents submitted a couple weeks ago. Looking forward to hearing about how everything turns out. Anyone applying for Harlingen, TX clinical site? Good luck to everyone!

Hi everyone! Happy to find this forum on a google search! :)
I have finally completed my applications to TCU and TWU. First time applying. I have about 2 years experience in the ICU.
Can't wait to see where this takes us.
