Interview:When you attend an interview at Barry University’s Nurse Anesthesia Program you will be shown program presentations, a financial aid overview, and the opportunity to meet a student and some paperwork. The second portion is your personal interview with the Admission Committee. Usually applicants are there from 8:45am to 2:00pm, though it is possible you may leave before 2pm. They start calling in students randomly around 11am. This will continue until around 2pm, however you are free to leave after your interview. Members of the Admission Committee, which consists of faculty and our Program Director will be the ones interviewing you. During your interview, the Admission Committee will ask about your critical care experience and application profile.
