Congrats on your acceptance! Is that your first school of choice?

I didn't get to interview they just sent a letter saying they couldn't offer me admission. My stats aren't competitive so I'm disappointed but not surprised.  I'm applying everywhere while working on CAA prerequisite so I know it'll happen one way or the other.

Thanks for all the support. Good luck everyone 🍀

What did your stats look like?

People that interviewed, how was the interview? 

Hope this helps! 

I applied mid August, was offered an interview mid October (Nov 18 or Dec 2). I interviewed Dec 2. I just heard back that I am waitlisted, so fingers crossed for the second campus! 

The interview was a really nice opportunity to meet faculty and current students. We sat with the current students and asked any questions we had and they were so helpful! The faculty pulled the interviewees out for an individual interview. I found mine to be mostly EI, very light on clinical, and a few questions specific to my resume. 

Best of luck to everyone on their CRNA journey!

Hi there! Congratulations! 
Curious- what do you mean 'second campus'?.. I think I also saw on here that they might increase the class size? No idea if that's true. Any idea?

Anyone receive an acceptance? I'd like to start a group! I hope the people waitlisted get an acceptance... especially if they increase the amount of people they're accepting in the program. 🤞🏼

Hello! Where did you hear that they might increase the class size? Thank you!

Hey! During the interview they told us they are awaiting accreditation of a second campus located near Einstein Medical Center . They said they will know in February if they get it accredited and will fill those 24 ish spots off the waitlist. 

Applied before the priority deadline and haven't heard back on anything. Application still says complete, what's the timeframe on being reviewed?
