Hi! I haven't noticed a thread made for this year, but I know I am not alone in applying to CRNA school, figured a way for everyone to share updates and stats! Super scary/exciting applying this year but I wish everyone the best!

My stats:
GPA 3.70, GRE 307 4.5 writing, CCRN, 2 years now as a CVICU RN. I have taken organic chemistry 1 in the fall.

I have to say that I thought the Baylor application to be a little more difficult than other schools but the interview process was top notch, even though we did it online. There was a mix of personal and clinical questions over the 5 different interviews and the professors seemed really friendly. The interview lasted all day but was really well organized.

I thought my interviews went well, I left each interview feeling okay with my responses to their clinical questions.  I got clinical questions in three of my five interviews.  Out of those three interviews I was fairly confident with my answers but one of them I had to do a little guessing in as the questions were geared towards a patient population that I'm not familiar with.  Other than that, I felt okay though.  How about you?

I felt like mine went well overall, everyone was super welcoming and gave good feedback during the interviews. The SRNA interview was funnest only because I knew none of the answers. Haha.  I feel like I’m more anxious now then I was during the interview process. LOL

I feel pretty much the same! I did not answer the clinical questions 100% correct but (in my opinion) did well overall. I never felt like my nerves got the best of me and I believe I remained largely coherent throughout all my interviews ? The problem is that we were all extremely qualified and I believe would all make great SRNA's but they have to narrow it down somehow. I'm not sure how things might have been different if we had gotten to interview in person. I guess my feet would have been a little more uncomfortable in person because I sure did not wear my heels during the virtual interview haha!

Longest. Week. Ever. I'm really hoping for some trainwrecks at work the next 2 days to take my mind off things!

I’m off until Thursday so it’s going to be extremely long. LOL. I know they said we would know by Friday at the latest. I’m just hoping it’s sooner. 
 

I still wore cologne and full business clothes. LOL

Last year I think they started calling people on Wednesday ? Do you guys know if they had to interview any people late because of the hurricane? That might slow things down too

I don't know if they had any late interviews. Has anyone heard anything one way or another yet?
