    sure no problem...

    Cum GPA (everything under the sun since highschool): 3.60 gpa

    Prereq GPA (not just the science, but the english and humantities): just shy of 4.00 (I may have had an A- or two in a couple classes)

    Science GPA (all from PCC): 4.00

    Graduated from UC Davis in california in 2001 BS in managerial economics and did public accounting and accounting related recruiting/staffing. Volunteered for 6 months in an ER but honestly I didnt do anything but grab supplies.

    Since linfield does the insight resume (with severely limited length of answers)...i dont think the written part of my application was anything spectacular.

    I also received an acceptance letter! Woot!

    My stats are...
    3.72 cumulative and 3.8 pre-req GPA (pre-reqs completed in undergrad plus one PCC psych course)
    BS in Biology from the University of Utah, 2008
    Work in a basic science research lab as a tech, also worked in clinical research and clinical laboratory. Currently volunteering in Med/Surg unit.
    Personal experience taking care of a loved one with a chronic disease for many years.
    For my insight resume, I ended up changing a few topics at the last minute. I decided to go with more personally meaningful and less standard/safe responses.

    Definately better smallfry2, just be patient though because we do not have to submit our letter of intent until May 1st. So it could be a while..

    Hey Shauna-i am also waiting to hear from OHSU. I know they are pretty competitive from what I've read in prior year threads...I am happy with Linfield, I was accepted into a California-Samuel Merrit University- that is $63K without a beautiful transfer scholarship...so I'm pretty much set to start this summer at Linfield. I think we should be hearing in 2 weeks OHSU tho.

    I got my acceptance letter yesterday as well. WooHoo!!! I am waiting on OHSU, like many of you, so we will have to see what April brings.

    got my acceptance letter over the weekend!! i was also accepted at UP's traditional BSN, but i'm waiting to hear whether or not i got accepted as a providence scholar (otherwise, i definitely can't rationalize their astronomical tuition). that'll be the deciding factor for me -- which school ends up being more affordable. decisions, decisions.

    congrats, everyone! looking forward to maybe meeting some of you soon!
