Hi, when you reapply, do you have to go through everything again?

For those that got in, congratulations! I know how much work it takes to get in from the direct commission side and you should be proud of your accomplishment.

For those that did not get the news you wanted today, don't be discouraged. This is a very competitive program and there are many successful Army CRNAs who needed a few cycles before getting in. Just keep focused, get more experience, shore up that application where you can, and start working for that next application cycle. You've got this.
