I am new to this site but such a great resource! Is anyone planning to apply to the Thomas Jefferson University CRNA program for Fall 2023? I am nervous by applying right by the Nov 15 deadline I may not get an interview.

This is a 36-month, nine-semester program with 92 credits. It's full-time curriculum with over 2,000 hours of clinical practice hours.
According to U.S. Bureau Of Labor Statistics, a Nurse Anesthetists in Pennsylvania earns an annual mean wage of $203,150. The national annual mean wage for a Nurse Anesthetists is $202,470.
If they pose questions to the group show you’re eager and raise your hand to answer it. Show that you’re personable and not just an anesthesia robot, tell them who you are outside of nursing, give them an example of what you like to do outside of work. And honestly I think they probably already sorta know before they interview but just want to make sure you aren’t a serial killer or have a terrible personality. Also it’s okay to be nervous but don’t let it consume you because that could come off the wrong way. So be confident in your stories and your experience but not overly confident. If that makes sense.

Did you think the EI questions were hard? I keep thinking about that one comment here that said that one question took them by suprise
Some were your standard interview questions. They asked about how the field could be more diverse which was tough if you don’t have an answer prepared. And then they asked stuff about DNP and the field in general but don’t remember exactly.

I wonder why they interview many applicants they have an idea?
Heard back from 12/07 interview (four days post) Found out I was waitlisted.
I wonder how many people they have on the waiting list. I was reading up on previous posts about people reapplying after being on waiting list the previous year, which is very discouraging. Did anyone else hear anything?
Anyone get an interview after being on the interview waitlist get an acceptance? Also can anyone post their stats that gained acceptance? Do we think they know who their going to accept before the interview since there are so many candidates per interview session?
Thank you!
