By the time a program tells you what was missing, it is too late to fix it.

Raising a science GPA takes a term. Earning a CCRN takes a quarter. You find out in one word, in the spring, with none of that time left. The criteria they weigh are published, so this scores you against them in about forty seconds — no account, no card.

The clock

26 deadlines fall in the next ninety days.

The nearest is today. Nothing on your list moves that date, and the things that would move your file — a term of coursework, a certification, a letter from someone busy — all take longer than the time between now and then.

Counted from 120 of the 154 programs in the directory — the ones that publish a date. 9 more take applications on a rolling basis, so they have no date to miss.

Questions, answered

How many CRNA programs are there?
There are 150+ COA-accredited nurse anesthesia programs in the U.S. Boost's directory covers every one — filter by GPA and ICU requirements, deadlines, tuition, and location, ranked to your profile.
What are the best CRNA programs for me?
The best CRNA program is the one you're most competitive for and that fits your goals. Boost scores your fit for every program in our directory from your GPA, ICU experience, and certifications — so you target the schools where you'll stand out.
What GPA do CRNA programs require?
Most CRNA programs look for a cumulative and science GPA around 3.0–3.5 minimum, with competitive applicants often higher. Boost's Candidacy Score and GPA calculator show exactly where you stand and which programs fit.
Is it really free to start?
Yes. Your Candidacy Score, the program directory, the GPA calculator, your Prep Plan, and a free trial each of Coach, Scout, and Ask Ana — no card required.
What's the difference between Core and Pro?
Core ($29/mo) unlocks the full suite — Admission Odds, the Timeline + tracker, Narrative, and the full directory. Pro ($39/mo, or $390/yr — 2 months free) adds scored Mock Interviews with Ana.
How current is the program data?
Each program shows the date its details were last checked, so you can see for yourself how current it is rather than taking our word for it. We re-verify against official program pages as new cycles open, and a weekly automated sweep flags passed deadlines and dead links. If you spot something wrong, there's a correction link on every page — those come straight to us.
Is my data private?
Your profile and your work are yours — every row is protected per-user, AI calls run server-side, and we never sell your data.
Do I need to install anything?
No — Boost CRNA runs in your browser on any device. Mock interviews work spoken or typed.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Manage or cancel in the billing portal whenever you like — no contracts.
