Just out of curiosity - I understand the interview and GRE are big parts, but I'm only a freshman in college and I'm trying the best I possibly can to get the best GPA, but it's not always so easy! I'm in Chem right now and it's pretty tough for me since I skipped intro and never took it in high school.
Anyways, I was wondering.. to the people who are already CRNAs, what was your overall GPA before getting admitted to CRNA school?
3.75 Nursing and Science---I am consistent I guess.
3.2 Finance 15 years ago
I think a solid grade point of 3.25 and above with good GRE and recommendations and a good attitude goes a long way. There are some who work their tale off and get 4.0 and others who it comes easy too. I worked hard but also lived life. Could I have gotten a 4.0---sure, but at what cost to family and sanity.
I look at CRNA school as a lifetime opportunity and I will do what it takes to stay in.
No one has ever asked me how my marks were in an interview, only want to know what my clinicals and practical experience have been like, and how much continuing ed I am active in seeking.
