University of Pittsburgh CRNA 2020

Published

Hi everyone,

I created this feed for nurses applying to or already accepted to the CRNA program at Pitt that begins January 2020. Has anyone submitted their application yet? Has anyone received a call for interviews? I know it is early in the process but waiting is so hard. If you feel comfortable posting stats, please feel free. Hope to hear from some nurses soon.

Congrats on submitting your application!!! I will let everyone know if I hear from them. Im impatient also hueysrock. lol I submitted in November and the wait has been terrible lol. Hopefully we hear something soon. I was told that last year there were not as many applications since switching to DNP. They sometimes do early interviews before the application deadline but I think they may be waiting in order to get more applications in. That is just my hypothesis.

I am waiting for one more recommendation but gonna try and submit my application this week! Fingers crossed!!! My GPA is 3.66 and GRE 292 and 1.7 years of PICU and about a year of PACU. I don’t have as strong of stats but im hoping it’s enough. The GRE is the actual worst...

I applied last year to this program GPA 3.8 all required courses. PALS, ACLS, CCRN BLS Instrctor, ACLS Instructor, 70 hours of shadow time, and research experience. I was in the 30th -40th percentile on gre and obviously didn't make an interview. I wish they would not base it so highly on the GRE.

From my understanding, the School of Nursing requires at least a 50th percentile on the GRE which is about a total combined score of 300. I am really sorry that you did not make an interview as I do not believe that GRE scores correlates to success but we have to meet these formalities to reach our goals. I am hoping you were able to get into a program.

Nope! But they did email me an anesthesia experience form to fill out and I sent it in and they said they are starting to review applications right now!
