Hey everyone,
I thought I would post this for everyone applying to the University of Minnesota CRNA for the 2021 start. This will be a great topic to share stats and updates!

I was hoping the admissions committee recognized my growth. You have more experience than me. I only have 2 years. I’m going to reach out to them as well. I need some type of feedback to help me with future applications. I probably need to retake my science courses. ?

Yeah! See they took people with great grades.... which I understand but I would think they would take experience into account.... oh well.... I guess I’ll have to take a grad level course and re apply yet again.

I am sorry you didn’t get an interview. Did you apply to any other schools?

It’s perfectly OK! I did apply to a few other schools. I’ve interviewed before... hopefully I’ll get that opportunity again.

How long have you been in the CVICU? I switched from Neonatal ICU.

Does anyone know what their interview is like? More personal or clinical questions?
