Who's going to Anesthesia school?

[jrec]

We've had several threads from everyone saying they were accepted to various schools, but if everyone is willing let's do one big thread for everyone that will be starting anesthesia school this summer or fall. If you don't mind please include where you applied, the status from each school ( meaning didn't get an interview, interviewed and not accepted/made alternate/accepted), and the school you chose and why. Thanks, so much!

I applied to :

1) Medical College of Georgia- interviewed and made alternate

2) Samford (in Birmingham)- interviewed and accepted

3) University of Alabama at Birmingham- interviewed and accepted and will be going there this fall. I chose UAB because I loved the Director and all of their clinicals are in Birmingham, so I won't have to travel all over the state.

When you post your acceptance, could everyone also include stats such as: GPA, GRE score, yrs experience, and any credentials (CCRN, CEN, CMC, CSC...etc.). It would be very helpful for us that are aspiring to get acceptance, and let us know how strong our application will be.

Thanks in advance

Repeating my post to add my stats:

2.5 total years SICU (appx 6 months worked on a prn basis)

Been out of ICU appx 18 months, working in cardiology administering conscious sedation for TEEs and facilitating cardiac stress tests.

CCRN-CMC, ACLS

GRE not required for the schools I applied to

I think that's all...I was pleasantly surprised that my being out of the ICU for awhile didn't ruin my chances. The schools I applied to require at least 1 year ICU within the last 3 years...
