Applicants to Portland area schools 2013

Published

Hello everyone! I was an avid reader of last years articles on applying to schools here, and it really helped me get an idea of how many points I would need. I thought I'd return the favor. So far I've only applied at PCC with 54.5 points (I think). For some reason, I'm not getting any discretionary points at Chemeketa and very few at Mt. Hood, so I might just forgo them this year. Is it just me or are schools going to a model where you can only really have a chance if you take the prereqs there? Anyways, good luck everyone!!!!

Poppyanddelia- I am finishing my bachelors in sociology this term at PSU but it has been almost three years sense I took my prereqs so I am doing the same! I pulled out my old A&P and Micro books, my fiance is a paramedic so I am investigating some of his pathophysiology and pharmacology books. It is very different from nursing in most ways but there is a lot of crossover!

In regards to the essay, I feel that I did fairly well. I much prefer the interview process though- it is so much more personal and gives us a chance to get to know them as well. Plus I like the overall vibe- kinda fun! How well did mine go?? Well, not sure, but I feel I did okay. I had lots to say and was quick responding, but I think my nerves kept my bright'n'shiny personality from coming out... super nervous! :)

In the meantime, I'm pulling out my books as well- A&P and Med Terminology...... and surfing this site repeatedly, lol! :D

Not sure the total number that applied to CCC, but at our interview we were told that 93 were participating in the interview process.

Only 93... that's great! I assumed it was 120 by the way the interview reservation page was setup. So is anyone else anxiously checking their email for early letters???

Up Vote Up Vote ×

Yep, 93 people (I am assuming of the 120 invited) sent an RSVP according to the woman who proctored our written portion.

And yes, I may exceed my data this month from constantly checking my email with my phone! :) I hope they send letters out early!
