Applicants to Portland area schools 2013

U.S.A. Oregon

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!!!!

Congrats prfoodie!! I just received an invitation too... so stoked!!!! :)

Congrats to everyone else who got the invite as well. Also, I'm sending out calming, confident vibes to all of us that have our PCC essays next week. Can't wait to hear how it goes for all of us!

I was accepted into the ABSN program at OHSU for this Fall, so even though I got a CCC invite I will be calling and letting them know that I already have a place :)

Sending out good vibes to everyone this week taking the PCC essay and hoping that everyone finds a placement this time around!

Tackled the PCC essay this morning! I was nervous, but it was a fairly comfortable atmosphere. I left with a feeling of discontent however... one of those "just 5 more minutes" kind of things. Still confident nonetheless. Anyone else there at 10:30 today?

Christy24 - I wish my PCC essay was today! Alas, I am scheduled for Thursday morning and am excited to get one more step closer to nursing school.

I have my interview with CCC next Wednesday the 24th and then I sit and wait...and wait...for the results. The waiting is the hardest part :)
