University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) CRNA - 2026

[camybrook]

I didn't notice anyone starting a thread for this round of applications for UAMS. I am planning on submitting my application in the next 2 weeks. I haven't found much information online about anyone's experience with applying. I have a few questions that hopefully can be answered 🙂

- Letters of Rec: they only require 2, one of them is your most recent clinical supervisor. There are options to add more, and I am wondering if I can have 3 letters of rec? If not, does the supervisor have to be my nurse manager? I have a great relationship with my manager, so that is not an issue, but I would rather use my ICU NP due to her background. I am not sure if 'supervisor' necessarily means manager. Just want to make sure I'm doing everything correctly!

- If anyone has any insight into the stats of prior students who have been admitted into this program. I have a very strong resume and did well in nursing school, but I failed A&PII my freshman year and brought my GPA down to a 3.4 if they don't count the 'grade forgiveness' I did in college. 

Thanks in advance and good luck to everyone applying this round! My situation is complicated so this is the only school I am applying to this round.

I applied and it's verified on Nursing Cas, do you receive an email from the school to complete secondary app or do we do it on our own?

I received an email with the link to do the supplemental application.

I did it on my own right after submitting the nursingcas application. The next morning, I got a generic email that said, "Thank you for your interest in the UAMS College of Nursing.  We have received your Nursing CAS and UAMS Supplemental Applications. Your application will be reviewed, and interview offers will be extended after the application deadline."

My email said "Good afternoon!  Your Nurse Anesthesia application for Fall 2026 is being reviewed.  Once all completed applications are reviewed, we will extend interview offers.  We plan to notify students by the beginning of February whether or not they have been selected to interview."
