Yeah, second wave of interviews was Jan 6th, 16th, and Feb 6th so a lot of decisions for them to make until then for everyone that hasn't heard back yet. I'm on the 6th

So is it even worth it to still apply?

OK so it's looking like whoever didn't hear back yet probably won't get a chance. 😞

Apply, literally won't hurt. Worst they can do is deny you. If you don't get in, strengthen your resume and apply again — that's my plan because I'd die to be a CRNA

There's no plan B, I will be a CRNA! Our time is coming!❤️

Has anyone heard anything yet? I'm still waiting on one LOR but it's so late in the application process that I'm trying to decide if it's even worth it anymore LOL. 

I contacted the school and they said all seats have already been filled. They're basically just interviewing for the waitlist 😞

What did they tell you? If you haven't heard anything back there still may be a chance!

Well, I'm not surprised. They have rolling admissions and I hear that they fill up quickly

Who did you contact, and when? What exactly did they say? 

I just booked flights to interview next month. That would be really sucky to do all that for a waitlist spot.

I emailed 2 different people.
 

The First Lady said "Unfortunately, all available seats for this admissions cycle have already been filled. However, we encourage you to consider applying for the next cycle as we continuously seek outstanding candidates like yourself.”

and then the other person I emailed said "Our applications are still open, however we are just about full and have interview dates set already in February, so were really only seating for the waitlist at this point. I would encourage you to apply early next admissions cycle. I hope this helps.”
