Applicants to Portland area schools 2011

U.S.A. Oregon

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:

I was just cracking a joke. My goodness.

It made me smile! Hope you didn't think I was bothered by it, I was trying to defend you:)

No, you're fine. :) I just didn't think it would spur a whole debate about every aspect of every campus. :uhoh3:

I'm glad you started this debate - unintended as it was. It is always interesting to read others' points of view on the different programs and campuses.

however it looks like I will have to take an 8-week Microbiology! :

I highly recommend ---- at PCC's Cascade campus. She does an 8 week micro course during the summer and she is enthusiastic, well-versed, and very fair. I LOVED micro after taking it from ----!

Nit sure if you're allowed to mention a particular prof's name on this site, but if for some reason her name gets blocked out, message me and I'll let you know who she is!

Hello, I am going off tangent here but I just want to ask you how you are planning to commute to OHSU? I visited the campus yesterday and unfortunately parking is a nuisance there. For me to take the bus/max from Beaverton, it will take me a good 80+ minutes. I just found out right now though that I can also park at the Schnitzer Lot and take the tram up for $7 daily..then a 15 minute walk to the Son building. It just seems like a lot of work. I am so sad that I might have to let go of OHSU due to this issue. I know parking should not be an issue but as much stress as I am anticipating when school starts, I am not enthused to add more to it just from this issue. Is anyone in the same boat as I am?

Still have not made up my mind between CCC & OHSU :crying2:

I'm worried about parking, too. I found a free shuttle that picks up from all the OHSU campuses, including the one downtown, and stops at the main Marquam Hill area, so I'm interested in exploring that. I found out about it from the OHSU transportation website. Also, I believe that students and employees receive free tram passes. Taking a bus is not really going to work for me, either. I am not considering going to another school because of this issue, but I am definitely going to find the easiest and cheapest route to get there...
