Hello, is anyone applying to University of Pittsburgh's CRNA program for Spring 2025?

LOL I'm losing hop already, I applied at the last day, may 30th and just got the email saying that my application was complete and that would be sent to the admissions  committee but after that, nothing. I'm wondering if somebody who applied closer to the 2nd deadline heard anything from them

I applied April 1 and never received this email. My app was submitted on CAS 4/1 and verified on 4/2. Should I be concerned?

I believe there's 2-3 interview sessions they haven't scheduled for yet. Relax, breathe, be patient LOL

Have you received the email from the school about the interview details yet? They said it would be out on Monday or Tuesday, but I still haven't gotten anything. Need that information to book hotel.

I got my email with all the interview info this AM at 11:30! Maybe call tomorrow and ask!

Typically it's 80 for about 40 spots. I think this year they're doing 6 interview sessions(my guess based on rumors LOL) so about 120 candidates for 44 full time spots and at least 10 part time, can't remember the exact amount they said.

they usually interview 20 a day - 10 morning/ 10 afternoon.

I know this interview coming up Thursday is 20 people total and I believe Friday is also 20 people total. Not sure if it was the same for the first round of interviews though.

I interviewed in March, and I emailed one of the secretaries recently. They said that we won't hear until after June interviews are finished.

If you feel comfortable, without giving sensitive information regarding the interview, do you mind telling us how the interview was? I know there is some time for informal questions with current students/staff. When I asked if the interview style was a mix between interpersonal questions and clinical questions the answer was "Our goal is to just get to know you better." This made it seem more relaxed than other programs to me. I know some other school's interview styles are more laid back however, I have also interviewed at a school whos interview is BRUTAL and they grill you and make you take tests. I was just trying to gauge how Pitt performs theirs?

I felt like it was pretty laid back and more EI than clinical. I felt over-prepared and came out feeling like they just truly wanted to get to know me and my background. It was refreshing.
