Applicants to OCNE 2016-2018

Published

Hello everybody! Long time lurker and first time poster on this site. I was hoping to start a thread to see where everybody is at on their points and etc. Some info about myself I suppose: Applied at PCC, MHCC and CCC, I have experience as a CNA and completed all my pre-req's with 3.9 GPA. Feeling pretty good but not when its compared to 800 other applicants! Thought this would be a good way to see if emails were being sent in the next few weeks and waitlist info. Good luck everyone :D

I was nervous too!!! I hate waiting!!! Gah.

Anyone heard from PCC?

Nothing yet, and it's killing me!

Anyone get a points evaluation from Clackamas? I heard someone got an email with their points and that invites will go out on the 4th.

I got points verification from CCC. It also said this: "The week of April 4, emails will be sent out to the top 100 candidates inviting them to set an interview date for mid-April."

Can I ask what your last name starts with? My friends and I haven't gotten an email yet! ): Just wondering if they're emailing alphabetically?

Last name starts with a B!! :) I got it around 3pm!

Oh good. The other person's last name starts with a B too. I'm paranoid they lost my application haha

No word from PCC yet... Hoping I'll know something by the end of the week.

Just got that same email today! Good to see that my point calculation wasn't too far off. Still think that 54/64 isn't too hot though. Did my points for mhcc and got around 58/70. Wondering what the minimum number is for those two.

PCC: Interview is very easy. You all sit in a computer lab and type answers to two questions which are very basic such as why do you want to be a nurse. Too easy in my opinion.

MHCC: You will interview with 9 others. You all sit in a room with two faculty and introduce yourselves and state why you want to become a nurse... Then individually taken into a room and asked a random question with two minutes to answer, while the rest answer two questions on paper (written essay).

CCC: Hardest interview but in my opinion the one that actually tries to weed out the people sort to speak. 30 min to type an essay to some difficult questions that really make you think. Then you panel interview with 4 other students (also questions that make you really think, nothing dumb like "why do you want to be a nurse").

My opinion: knowing people who attended PCC and MHCC, CCC is by far the best choice for learning and experience and Im glad I get to attend. Our instructors are the best :)

Good luck to all you applicants :)

Thanks for the heads up! :)
