GPA isn’t as bright and shiny as you’d like it to be? This is a common fear that students express- maybe they aren’t smart enough or cut out to become a CRNA? While it’s true that you may have to put in a little more front work before applying, this dream is still very much within your reach!

GPA is only one part of your application, and there are plenty of 4.0 students who don’t gain acceptance or struggle through school. Even with a lower GPA, we’re taking a look at the proactive steps that you can take to boost your application and set yourself up for success. 

In today’s episode, you’ll learn:


  • The importance of reaching out to your program before you apply 
  • The most important characteristics that schools are looking for (beyond the GPA) that denote a competitive candidate
  • How to break down your GPA and get a real picture for areas of potential improvement
  • Why your interview ultimately holds more weight than your GPA
  • Resources available to you for transcript reviews, mock interviews, and more
  • The key components you actually need to be successful in CRNA school


Know that we’re rooting for you, future CRNA! You’ve got this!
