I found out that I got accepted to the OHSU OCNE program in Portland late last week, but I'm still undecided about whether or not I want to attend there. It depends a lot on cost... I'm so tempted to just go the community college route because it's so much cheaper, but we'll just see where I get in! I have an interview at MHCC on the 11th. Good luck to all!

i got a letter saying that i’m on the alternate list for ohsu, i applied mostly for the new monmouth campus because its closer but i would not mind going to portland, i live in woodburn so monmouth is only 15 minuets closer. i hope i get in since i have been going to college for 3 years full time and it just seems like im not moving forward any.

I applied only for Portland. I'm on the alternate list too. I called and asked about my ranking, my proctored essay score, how many ppl are on the waitlist, how many accepted, etc. And was repeatedly told the same thing. Basically, they are still in the admissions process and are unable to reveal any info. I was told to call back in July. They accept ppl off the alternate list up until the first week of classes I think. Yikes!

Anyway, congrats on making the alternate list!~ :up: And of course on getting in :yeah:

Btw, I have returned to school for ~2 years too. I sometimes also feel the same way....that progress is slow or halted. But I just have to remember to relax and enjoy the ride- I'll get there soon enough. Make the most of it. Harder done than said, I know. I'm going to take some art classes next quarter, and maybe ballroom dancing. :-P

We'll get there!! We can do it! Keep your head up :-D

Hey all,

Congrats to those who got in and the alternates (it seems like a lot of people from the wait list get in).....

I'm applying to OHSU OCNE in the next admission cycle, and am curious what a competitive GPA for acceptance looks like. If anyone wants to share theirs, I'd appreciate it! Thanks!

I am curious to know also what the GPA is for people who made it in. I applied but didn't get in.

my gpa is nothing to be proud of i have a 3.5gpa. but i do have all of my prereq's finished and enough electives so that i wont need to take any when im in the program. i just need to take a few more math classes in order to be prepared to continue on to the bachelors. i have not worked in any hospital setting or anything medically related, i have worked for 5 years in a school district program where we work with children from low income families.

i have my fingers crossed because i still have a chance of getting in the program, there is nothing more that i want at this point then to get in.

Is you GPA cumulative or just the prereq's? If you don't mind me asking.

Pre reqs: 3.9/ 3.8

Cumulative: 3.0

Big gap d/t 1st degree. For the OCNE program they only count the pre-req GPA, and since we got to chose which courses counted...mine was about 3.9. The proctored essay was scored though...I'm assuming mine was average or below. In retrospect, there was a lot that I left out. The proctored part threw me off a bit. First time for everything. Shrug.

Didn't someone post about how the OCNE Portland program has less spots since the ABSN program took more? I think there might be 20 or less spots then!

deasiac, just curious, what was yours?
