Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) CRNA 2026 Start

Published

Hi guys! Just submitted my application for VCU's CRNA program with a tentative start date of January 2026. Anyone else applied yet?

Applied as well, anyone else choose Alexandria for a location? 

Where did it ask you to specify or was it a separate nursing CAs application from the regular VCU one?

Good luck everyone. I applied to the Roanoke campus. This is my first year. Pretty nervous. 

Applied as well!

I believe it was in CAS, it's been a minute.

So, the final deadline is tomorrow (3/15) for application verification by NursingCAS. Does anyone have any idea when applicants will start hearing if they are granted an interview?  Anyone know what the interviews will look like this year?  I have heard that the Kira system isn't being used anymore for some schools because of maybe all the budget cuts or something like that?? Good luck everyone! 

Silly question but are we suppose to complete any other application form (apply to vcu site) other then the nursing cas application? 😊

In the past, it looks like they usually send interview notifications out around May 31. This is from looking at the past years forums.

Soon after I submitted my application in nursingCAS, I received an email from the university with the instruction to create a applicant account in order to fill out a virginia residency form and pay an additional $70 application fee—after already paying the NursingCAS fee, unfortunately.

Ah! Yes I did that too. It's been too long since I applied. Thank you so much! 😊

During the open house last week they said we might receive an update about the timeline this week (via email) but they are changing many things (including the website which says we hear back in May). So unsure!? Haha

Anyone received an email today?
