Did you just get a call? I haven't heard anything yet, but I haven't gotten an email or a change in the portal that says denied or waitlisted either.

I received a call at noon today, they told me that an official letter from admissions will be sent out February 1st

Got an email that I was waitlisted. Did anyone else?

I also got waitlisted

I didn't even get waitlisted. I'm devastated. I didn't get into any CRNA programs this year.

Don't get discouraged! It's OK to feel dejected but don't let the disappointment keep you down... I was so close to not applying this year bc I applied to 5 other schools and didn't even get an invite to interview - each application is an opportunity to learn and grow. Over the past year and a half I refined my writing skills for essays and reached out to admissions on ways to improve my application. Tell other people about your career ambitions who will support and encourage you, especially when you feel down whether it's coworkers, family or friends. If it weren't for my support system pushing and encouraging me I wouldn't have a spot in the cohort today. Your time will come, and the right school will be the one to extend an offer letter.

Thank you for such kind and meaningful words of affirmation. It's been difficult being rejected by all 4 schools I applied to. My self esteem is just so low right now but I know I can do things to improve. Good luck to you and God bless! You are a kind soul.

I'm really sorry. I've been denied to 3 other schools without even getting interviews so I know the feeling as well. We'll get in eventually! You got this!

Does anyone remember if they mentioned how many seats typically come off the waitlist? / any info on the waitlist in general

I don't think they said anything about how the waitlist moves during interviews. I did listen to a podcast Dr.Bent was a guest on (CRNA School Prep Acadamy, sept 2021) and she mentioned how sometimes there is movement. However, it depends on when/if people withdraw after the offers due to many circumstances. They have a cut-off, I guess, for when they stop taking people off the waitlist if spots are available. It's not the exact answer you looking for, unfortunately.

Has anyone been moved off the waitlist?
