I just interviewed last Friday. They were friendly. I didn't get asked any clinical questions. They use a point system so stronger gpa, years of experience, certifications, and strong interview does the trick. They notify you of acceptance by december 14. Good luck to you.

I didn't get asked pharm questions. I don't know if anyone else did. There were 3 panels. One consisted of two 4th yr students, another of 3 CRNA program staff, and the last was an MD, program director, and another program faculty. They asked what I have done since I finished undergrad. Where have I worked? Family and crna school. Where I see myself in 10 years? Any problems in workplace and how I resolved it? They were very easy to talk to. Where are you from?
