Anyone else feel like they didn’t get to say half of what you wanted to say due to the time limit?? 

It definitely felt rushed. It was also a lot more clinical than I thought it would be!

Really?? They only asked me one clinical question…

The non-faculty CRNA was rapid fire asking me questions about ERAS medications and considerations for giving them, then asked about the MOA and indications for atropine.

I also wonder how much of the questions from non-faculty differ.

Oh wow. My experience was nothing like that. That’s so frustrating. How are they going to interview 86 people and only take 18 but ask us all different questions?? Now I feel like I didn’t answer quick enough to even get that far. Ugh. This is my top choice.

Maybe our faculty EI questions were the same and the non-faculty asked different questions based off of our answers? 

 

I wouldn’t be disheartened! It sounds like you prepared and studied really hard — maybe your interview just went in a different direction than mine did because of some of your answers, which isn’t a bad thing!

You’re probably right. We did the best with what time we were given. I am still hopeful! Thank you so much for your positivity. Do you know if they’ll send out emails over the course of the week or will they all be sent out on November 18th?

?the time definitely felt really short. I found myself looking at the clock multiple times and fumbled a bit trying to say everything I needed to in such a short time.

Of course, friend! ?

Don‘t lose hope — we all want this really bad, and have all worked really hard to get this far which is a feat in and of itself! 

 

I’m not sure… I also had some questions related to clinical stuff that wasn’t able to be answered in my interview. I’m going to reach out to the school today and can keep you all updated about what I hear!

If it’s any consolation, the other two interviews I had I left feeling like WOW! and got into both of them. I think it’s a total whirlwind. It’s a lot of mind games. I’m sure you all did excellent! I’m rooting for you all.

This is the kind of positivity I need right now ? I prepared so hard for this interview and once the time ran out I just sat there like…

Did anyone have a moment to ask when we would receive decisions?
