How to use Boost CRNA
A five-minute tour of the workflow — score, research, build, practice — and which tool to reach for at each step.
Boost CRNA is organized around the order you'll actually do things, not an A–Z list of features. If you follow the four steps below, every tool feeds the next.
1. Score your candidacy first
Start with the Candidacy Score. Answer a few questions — or import a transcript — and you'll get an honest 0–100 read on how competitive your profile is, plus a prioritized list of what to fix. This step matters because it writes your profile, which almost every other tool reads from. Do it first and the rest of the suite is personalized to you.
2. Research where to apply
With a profile in place, use the Program Directory to browse all COA-accredited programs, Compass to see Reach / Target / Likely fit for each one, and Admission Odds for an honest, program-by-program read. The goal is a balanced list — a few reaches, several targets, a couple of likelies.
3. Build your application
Turn the plan into action. The Prep Plan prioritizes your gaps, the GPA Calculator tracks cumulative and science GPA, the Timeline lays out dated milestones, and My Applications tracks each school from saved through decision — sorted by deadline so nothing slips.
4. Practice and apply
Sharpen the parts that decide it. Scout reviews your resume, Narrative helps draft and critique your personal statement, Coach gives feedback on single interview answers, and Ana runs full scored mock interviews.
Your home base
The Dashboard ("Today") always shows your next best step, anything that needs attention, and your nearest deadline — so when you log in you never have to guess what to do next.
