Applicants to Portland area schools 2011

Published

How's everyone doing with their Apps?

I applied to MHCC, CCC, PCC and Linfield.

It's my first year applying and I'm a nervous wreck!!!

How long does it usually take to hear whether or not you got an interview?

I was glad to see CCC changed their deadline to Feb 15th like the other OCNE schools-I think it'll make the waiting more bearable!

Anyone else want to share points to see how tight the competition is this year?

Other than Mt. Hood, I don't get too many discretionary points. :(

Heres what I *think* I have (figuring them myself):

MHCC-63 points

CCC-50 or 51 points depending on how they round up your gpa

PCC-54 points

Good luck everyone!!!

Let the nail biting, stalking the mailbox begin! :lol2:

Well...one essay finished. Best of luck to those taking the essay portion at PCC.

I have the pleasure of waiting until Thursday :)

It wasn't so bad... They were really nice and non-intimidating, which put me at ease. But I could have used another 15 minutes to feel really good about my essay! Guess we'll just keep on waiting - they said letters go out the week of May 16th :)

Good luck, pdxMHT!

That's good to know we won't have to wait until June to find out! Glad to hear they were nice and non-intimidating. Was it hard to find parking? I have never been to the campus, so I am planning on getting there early.

The parking really depends on what time your essay is scheduled. I went got there around 1:45, and had no issue finding a spot. Parking is tough in the mornings, for 9am and 11 am classes, then it tends to settle down a little after lunchtime. I would get there early, just to be safe. There are a bunch of lots to park in around the HT building - you can look on a map and see where they are. Good luck!

So I took the PCC essay today ... hopefully I get in! Fingers crossed. It's non intimidating, but the nerves got the best of me at the beginning and it was hard to type, ha! But I think it went well, plus I got there like 3 hours early and did like 10 practice essays.

Al, the parking situation always stinks! Plan ahead of time, it doesn't hurt to be early. I was there around 10:40 and there was nothing left .. basically. It took me like 20 minutes to find a spot. Just plan ahead :) or take the bus 44 that takes you directly in front of the school.

Where did you hang out for three hours?

I was planning on getting there around 10:30, thanks.

Thanks airbender and yellow. I am giving myself two hours to get there when it should only take me an hour.

Or anybody NOT hear from them today?

I didn't hear from them yet. Did anyone else?

I haven't heard from them either.

Just got my letter for CCC but have not heard from MHC.

Thought I would chime in case you're waiting to hear from CCC.

Best of luck to all.
