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:

My mail just came and no letter. I'm guessing that is not a good sign. I will now have to wait until Monday :(

Hang in there. Monday could very well bring good news.

My mail did not come yet. I had my mt hood interview today and I really wanted to go there. But, I am going to Linfield since I got the big scholarship. I wonder what I hear from OHSU.

So I had me interview at MHCC this am and I'm REALLY unsure about how I did.

Everyone else seemed to do so well (and they were all VERY nice). I think my written responses were good but the presentation part was kind of a blur. I wanted to go first to get it over with but I was so nervous and I stumbled over my words just reading the question before stating my answer (I know how to read dang it!)

:(

I'm just so nervous now because I know I should have done so much better!

I am sure you did great. My friend who went to am interview, told me that all of you guys were very impressive. Last week, I went to an scholarship interview and I thought I did not well and I was so nervous, but it turns out I did not do that bed becaouse I got scholarship. So we never know what they are looking for. They seemed very open minded and I am sure they will give some + for your bravery!! Good Luck!!

P.S. I had an pm interview and my voice was shaking while I was speaking. People could hear how nervous I was.

Got my OHSU letter today. I was rejected from everywhere else so I'm shocked to say they accepted me. I'm so glad they got letters out earlier than expected- the waiting was torture. I had a 3.8 GPA for my prereqs.

Yes, I did get a 50, with 360 total. I'm really hoping that score will get us in. I really hope that they don't have to go to a tie-breaker. Do you think our chances are better this year because of the essay scores spreading the points out? Congrats again, I'm sure you are celebrating :yeah:

To be honest, it feels surreal to know I will for sure be going to nursing school in the fall even if OHSU is my only choice. It does take a huge weight off me. I think our chances at Chemeketa are better this year unless they gave more 50's than they have spots for. Hard to tell. An advisor told my friend that letters should go out two week after the May 13 deadline to appeal points. That is cutting it close with the deadline to accept at OHSU. I am so grateful though, and thanks again on the congrats.

I am SUPER anxious to know about OHSU, though I have told myself to be ready for a denial letter. It just seems like a far-fetched idea and I don't want to get my hopes up. It feels good to know that I will find out within a week, though!

I just got my acceptance letter into OHSU!!!!! I just had my interview/essay at MHCC this morning, and was actually hoping that I didn't get into OHSU so I wouldn't have to choose between PCC, MHCC and OHSU. WOOT WOOT!!!! Looks like I'm going to OHSU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I received my OHSU acceptance letter in today's mail as well. I feel like I am floating on a cloud, both because my dream choice was OHSU, and because I celebrated with a little too much wine, but hey, whaddya gawnna do.

Anyway, I was scheduled for my MHCC interview on Wednesday, but I am going to decline now and will decline my spot at PCC if offered, so there's a little more wiggle room for those hoping to get into those schools as well.

Congrats to all OHSU'ers!! Woo Hoo!

I received an acceptance letter to OHSU yesterday afternoon after returning from a very long 3 hour interview/essay at MHCC!! I am beyond excited. Spent the evening celebrating & hardly slept all night. Such a good feeling! I will be declining positions offered at CCC, PCC, and MHCC. Good luck everyone!

Kmdguy and k1977- Congrats you guys!!!!! Kmdguy- I agree, OHSU was definitely my dream school, and I was also a bit tipsy when I got home. I randomly saw on this message board that people had started receiving their OHSU acceptance letter, so I ran outside to the mailbox in my robe. I ran up to the porch and saw the big envelope, grabbed it and ran inside screaming, "I GOT A BIG ENVELOPE!!!!" to my boyfriend. I cried. I also could not sleep last night, I was so excited!!

That's awesome! I love how you ran back inside screaming, "I GOT A BIG ENVELOPE!" I was just coming back from the MHCC interview & saw a big envelope jutting out of my mailbox. I wasn't expecting anything from OHSU until early June, so I didn't think about it really until I opened it and saw the letter. That's when screaming and walking on air and being unable to stop smiling since ensued. Best feeling in the world.

Good luck to everyone who is still waiting!
