Published

Has anybody applied to USC-(california) for 2018 summer start? Anybody get an interview yet? I know the early submission ended on Nov 1st. Getting nervous.

They said they aren't allowed to say. How long before the interview were you guys notified to come in?

Hello everyone,

Here are some of my answers and experience.

I attended one of the orientation sessions last summer before applying. Dr. Gold and the CRNA department professors are there to give some background about the profession, the program and answer any questions. I made a point to talk to all of them. They were all very lovely people!

I made an appointment with one of the professors to go over my experience and transcripts. I gathered course descriptions of some courses I have taken and the ones I will take so that the professor (Dr. Norris) can assess if they fit the program requirements.

I took O chem, biochem and studied for GRE in the fall.

I applied pretty darn close to the deadline.

I got an email interview invite about a couple days afterwards.

My interview was on Jan 19th. As someone already pointed out, we all signed an agreement not to disclose information about the interview. Looking back I can say I had a lot of nervous high energy fun. It was like waiting in line for the best/worst roller coaster on earth. I even got to see the USC marching band! Judging from other people's experiences with other schools, USC definitely cultivated a much more positive supporting environment for everyone. Definitely for me!! I told myself that if I did not get in, I am too in love with USC to quit trying.

But I got in!!

I am now taking physics, which is the last class requirement I need to fulfill before entering.

I am very thankful for Allnurses and everyone who has shared their experiences. Please PM me if I can be of any more help.

Hi Cuddleswithpuddles,

Congrats on being accepted to such a phenomenal program! Thank you so much for the insight. I was wondering if you could tell me where you are completing your Physics course? I looked to see if USC has a list of approved courses, and was not able to find one. Sorry, I am not eligible to private message.

I am taking Conceptual Physics through UC Berkeley Extension. I compiled a list of potential classes that met my needs (had to be online with a flexible timeframe), ran it by the USC staff and got their approval.

Hello everyone,

Do we have a Facebook page for USC CRNA DNP class of 2021?

I just saw the email sent from the school today, and they listed all classmates' names. I could create one.

Duke was my first CRNA school interview so I definitely could have done better. I did way better with my second school.

Where did you end up going? I interview at Duke in 2 weeks. Any words of advise or help you can give?
