Texas Wesleyan University CRNA 2022

Updated:   Published

I haven't seen a thread for Texas Wesleyan 2022 program start, so figured I'd start one. Has anyone submitted their application yet? I'm just about done wrapping mine up. I noticed they didn't have early application this year like they have in precious? 

Just wanted to post my stats.

BSN GPA 3.5

ADN and undergrad GPA only 3.09 (wasn’t sure what I wanted to do originally and made some poor choices)

Science GPA 4.0 currently taking Gen Chemistry 

GRE 301 3.5 writing 

CCRN/CEN/ACLS/PALS/TNCC

1.8 years ICU in a level 2 hospital

7 years ED 

Do you feel this will be competitive in possibly getting an interview. 
 

I am honestly scared my age may hurt me. I just turned 42. I turned in my application 10/30 on nursingcas.

Those stats look better than some, so I would think you would get an interview!

 

What number are you guys calling when asking questions? Is it better to call or email?

Can you share your stats? Is it also a group interview?

I received an invite to interview around 1930ish tonight for the Harris site in Fort Worth. Scheduled for Jan 10th. Couldn’t tell if it was a group interview or not.

Does everyone with an invite all have their clinical sites listed? Does anyone have JPS?

I applied very late in the application period. I am hoping to receive a positive email to interview. *fingers crossed* The chase for CRNA school is definitely a mental game and so far I have been waitlisted at one school and rejected to 2 without an interview. Staying positive and hopeful though! Good luck everyone.

This application period I have applied to 6 schools total. The three that I have received rejection emails or a waitlist email from are: U of A, Midwestern and Westminster. 2 of the 3 schools strictly use NursingCAS for their selection of applications, which I have read can hurt some applicants depending on their academic history. I have an overall 3.30 cumulative GPA, 3.92 BSN GPA, 3.69 ADN GPA, 3.73 Science GPA, pending O. Chem course this semester (probably will end up with a B, unless the instructor curves and might get an A), 5 years RN as of Feb 2022, 3 years ICU RN as of Jan 2022 and GRE: 287/3.5, CCRN/PALS/ACLS/BLS. Before I left my core nursing job to travel I precepted and was on the wound care committee. I am working on retaking the GRE to try to get a 300/4.0, but the O. Chem class has taken a lot of my time for studying. I have worked in peds, med-surg, PCU-Cardiac focused, surgery, ICU and travel ICU. The ICU I received the bulk of my training was a busy general MICU/SICU. The skills and knowledge I have gained as a travel ICU RN during the last year has been great as well and I have learned different specialities and charting systems. I finally bit the bullet and bought the AllCRNASchools spreadsheet and I might reach out to one of the CRNA influencers who specialize in getting you ready for admissions, interviews, resume, etc. I think the big thing to take away is to keep applying, not give up and reach out to the schools to see where I can improve. At least that is what I am telling myself so I don't give up. LOL. Hope that helps!

For those who are waiting to receive an interview, I submitted my application around September, received an interview on 11/5 and I believe my stats are subpar if that gives you any insight. However, one of my rec letters is from a current SRNA so I’m not sure if that gave me a few bonus points or not. But my stats are: overall GPA 3.2, BSN 3.84, last 60 credit hour 3.8, and science is like 2.8 (LOL, messed up in college and wrote about it my personal statement). I did retake chem 1 and 2 and made A’s in them, as well as ochem with a B+.....and my science GPA was still 2.8 so it was honestly an EXTREMELY far reach when applying. GRE 159Q/145V/4.0. 3 years level 1 ED/trauma, 1 year MICU. Charge and preceptor experience. BLS/ACLS/PALS/ENPC/TNCC/CCRN. Hope this helps some of you guys out. Best of luck to everyone!

Would you mind sharing your stats? Trying to stay hopeful! The waiting is torture. I guess no news is good news? Wonder if anyone has received a not cohort competitive email yet…
