The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) CRNA School - Start of January 2026

[CVICU96]

Hello everyone!

The deadline for applications to UTC for the start of January 2026 is near and I wanted to go ahead and start a discussion thread for all those planning on applying! This will be my first time applying to schools as well, so any and all advice is welcome. Best of luck to each of you!

Hey all, current SRNA in the program here! Last year there were ~386 applications, and 60ish interview spots, and the accepted class ranges around 25-32 combined between Tupelo and Chattanooga campus (Usually 5-8 at Tupelo). 

How are you liking the program? I've been trying to find out some inside knowledge on the program but I don't know anyone who went there. Also, what sort of interview questions did they ask you?

Unfortunately, I missed the most recent information session so I'm trying to catch up to speed with everyone else 🤪

Does anyone know when they reach out with interview/rejection decisions?

I have a friend currently in the program and she told me it took about a month to hear back after applying! I am hoping we hear something by the first week of May 🤞🏻

In the info session they said middle/late may they'll be making notifications

300 apps is crazy, mid may is a long time to wait to hear something 🫠

Hi everyone. Does anyone have any insights on what to expect for the interview? I'm from out of state so I don't know any UTC alum who can help guide me in the right direction. I just want to make sure I am studying and preparing the right things and I'm not completely caught off guard (if I get an interview). Thanks in advance!

Hi! Would you mind sharing some insight on what to expect in the interview? I just want to make sure I'm studying and preparing correctly so I'm not completely blind sided. My email is [email protected] you could share their experience I would really really appreciate it! Thank you!
