Yup and mine is the 16th at 8am. I honestly think Chemeketa is my best bet this year, so I am trying really hard to have a great essay. Good luck to everyone and CONGRATS to those who have been accepted already.
Just received my essay letter from PCC! I am scheduled for the 21st.
Fantastic! Great news. OK...so we have an idea of whose getting them, can you post your application specs? For instance, GPA, prior degrees, work experience, etc?
I just got my essay invitation for 4/19 PCC also. First letter I've gotten with a "Congratulations" so far :)
I applied with 58. 5-ish points according to my calculations. PCC does not confirm the total.
I had a 4.0 with all pre-req's completed, foreign language, prior BA degree, and work experience (only 1 point of that), plus discretionary points for in-district stuff.
Kamaboko, I look forward to you posting your essay invitation when you get it!
I didn't get a confirmation of my points, but I figured I had 58 for sure. I had 0 discretionary points, but did have 4.0 GPA, previous associates degree, and foreign language. Oh, and all prerequisites finished. I will really have to rock the essay to have a chance against people who had higher points and are in-district. Still, it's nice to hear something positive! Thanks!
PS: On the letter I received, I was given a "student number" of 1000-something. I hand-delivered my application on the 15th, towards the end of the day - they probably assigned a number to each applicant; I bet that they received over a thousand applicants this cycle. Just to put into perspective... Nursing school in PDX has some pretty fierce competition. Good luck to everyone!
