Hi Katherinerrn
I will also be applying there to UNC. Have not totally finished the application process, but will soon. Recently finished the interview process at Arkansas and waiting to hear from results. Also throwing in an application for Barry in Florida. Trying to cover all my bases and the kitchen sink. Best of luck, RAN.
Hi Katherine! Thank you for starting the group :) I am a Sep 10 pool applicant for Fall 2019 as well. My name is Nicole, I'm from Austin. I work in a very diverse, mixed trauma/surgical ICU (cardiothoracic and vascular surgery, neurosurgery, traumas right and left + their handful of surgeries, CRRT, IABP/impella, rotoprone, your everyday sepsis, ARDS, and DKA.... basically we don't do ECMO, transplants, or kiddos).
Ok yall, I'm nosy, but I'm also honest! I like to know, so I'll be brave and throw it out there...my stats are:
GPA: 3.59 (ouch, feel like this may be my weakness)
Science GPA: 3.73, also currently 3/4 through biochem with an A so that # will increase in a few weeks
GRE: 152 verbal, 156 quantitative, 4.5 writing
ICU years: 1.25, will be 2.25 at the time class starts if I'm accepted
Certs: CCRN, BLS/ACLS/PALS
Extracurricular: I teach BSN clinicals for the #1 scoring nursing program in Texas, also happens to be my alma mater :) I'm an ICU unit-based council member, was selected to my facility's Nursing Peer Review committee, am on our Code Review Team, I'm a preceptor, and 30 hours CRNA shadowing so far.
My stats as of now>>>
GRE - 320 combined, 157 analytical, 163 verbal
Undergrad GPA - 3.8
Science - 3.99
2 years experience in SICU
40 hrs. shadowing
I haven't heard anything back yet from the school, other than sending in the GPA calculator spreadsheet.

Hi everyone!
My name is Katherine and I am a Medical/Surgical intensive care nurse applying to UNC Charlottes CRNA program this Fall, 2019. I just wanted to start a forum for all who are applying. I'm sure we will have lots of questions when applications start getting reviewed.
