Clackamas Program 2008: Points & GPA

They sure are :rolleyes:

I was told that they were planning to do interviews during the last week of May, so I would think they'd have to let us know what our point totals are any day now in order to have time to get the interview letters out and schedule the interviews. However, I was told this by the same person who gave me some faulty information regarding last year's point cut off for interview so you never know!

Just bumping this up to see if any has heard any news from CCC yet. The wait is killing me!

Ok everyone. Like I said before I got into clackamas for a summer program (providing I didn't bomb my interview) Just wanted to let you know that it wasn't that bad. The people seem really nice and there is a written and oral portion. I feel like that is all I can say but wanted to assure those of you going through it that it is not bad at all. Just be genuine, the interviewers make you feel very comfortable

Has anyone heard anything from them yet? I got the summer schedule of classes in the mail already, but no notice from the nursing department. I have applied the last to years to CCC and never had to wait this long. :no:

Also, they just told me that last year they interviewed just over 100 applicants in the group format with 3-4 applicants per interview. The interviews will be held the last week in May.

Good luck everyone.

Also, when I talked with them, there was no mention of the proctored essay after the group interview?

I'm wondering if those of you who have accepted an offer from another school and who also applied to CCC decided to let them know to take you out of the applicant pool or if you are still going to see if you get into CCC? Just wondering how that will affect the applicant pool.

I just got my points review letter, so they must have gone out on friday. Does clackamas frequently get the amount of people points wrong? It seems they must if they have to institute a points review. Has anybody else got their letter yet, and if so, are your points correct?

kermit27908 · May 11, 2008

I got my points letter from Clackamas today as well. My points were correct, in fact .60 more than what I had so I can't complain. That's probably not a biggie but I'll take everything they give me. So sometime after the 19th we should get our "you got an interview" or "rejected" letters.....

Good luck everyone.

It depends if they have an alternate lists for interviews. If someone declines an interview and they do have an alt list, then I would assume someone from the alt list would move up for an interview. (I think this is the case for OCNE schools.) Theoretically, if one has an offer from one school and also tries for Clackamas, then that would keep someone a fraction of a point down from getting an interview.

For Mt. Hood, I was told if someone declines an interview, I would be eligible to interview with them. So I must have been very close in points for MHCC.

I think most who have been accepted have already notified other schools to remove their name from the applicant pool.
