    Hey, current RN here, starting to apply to CRNA schools. Anyone have any info on how important GRE scores are when being considered? I have 3 years of critical care experience (in a Trauma Life Support Center), and GPA from nursing school is 3.7… my GRE however is 900. Is this ok? Do I stand a good chance at getting in with my current credentials? Thanks!

    The GRE is important… at the programs that require it. Some CRNA programs do not even require the GRE, however, some will have a minimum GRE score requirement. It ultimately depends on what school/program you are considering, but in my experience, you will likely want 1000 or better to be competitive.

    3 years critical care is good, and so is your GPA, but it’s about the total package. CRNA schools are extremely competitive, so you will need to interview well and stand out from the rest.
