Probably in April! It will be here before we know it!
Thanks! I just went down the rabbit hole in previous threads.

Hey everyone! I'm super excited about applying again this year. I was waitlisted for the Richmond campus last year and did a bunch of revamping of my resume and "stats" so to speak. Looking forward to speaking with everyone as we go through this nerve wracking process together! Good luck!!

Good luck everyone!! How are you guys preparing for the interview process? I’m guessing it will be an online format again but not sure if it will be recorded answers or a live zoom situation.

I am not sure just yet...I have several CRNA friends and I am going to pick their brains on how to best prepare. I am definitely going to practice with my husband and come up with possible questions they may ask as well as brush up on some clinical stuff that I haven't seen in a while. What about you?

Hey all, I'm a current first year etpDNAP student and am excited for all of you guys. I know that that the app process can be very stressful, but you've done your best and now it's time to relax a bit, try to distract yourselves and enjoy life while you wait to hear back for interview opportunities. Work and save as much as you can while staying sane so you can be financially prepared for school when the time comes! Good luck and be yourselves come interview time. ?

Hi! Thank you for the encouragement! What do you think of the program so far? I was just contacted because I didn't upload my unofficial transcripts to the application and just wrote in the GPA. I am thankful for their grace in that matter, however, embarrassed that I left that part out when the instructions were pretty specific...?
