Hey Guys! I applied to the UMD CRNA program to start June 2018. I just wanted to start a thread here for people to post any news that they hear about their application, questions about the process, etc. I'm also curious about what everyone's stats are, i.e. GPA, years of experience, certs, etc. Good Luck to everyone!

Spurs_up, DNP, CRNA 30 Posts Has 23 years experience. Aug 23, 2017 To all that are applying to Umaryland Baltimore CRNA program please read. First off congratulations on beginning your exciting journey, Maryland is an awesome program with great professors. The program truely has a student first mentality. I have been in your shoes before, so I am familiar with questions that haunt you about the process. Interviews will take place around November, so don't be worried if you don't hear anything back one day after the application deadline. I was offered an interview sometime in October. Once you get your interview many if not all of you will begin to conjure up the worst case scenario in your head. I am here to tell you relax, if you were given an interview the program committee already knows you can manage the demanding school work. This is your time to shine as an individual, I call it the beer test. It is pretty much questions to see wether or not you would want to have a beer with that person. Will your personality gel with the faculty, hospital staff, and most importantly your fellow classmates. The later being most important, since you will end up learning from one another. Best of luck during this journey and who know maybe I will speak to a few of you during the interview.
