Linfield ABSN 2020

Published

I haven't seen a thread made yet so I thought I would make one! Has anyone else applied to Linfield's ABSN 2020 program?

Do we have accept our position on the waitlist or do we just wait for the counselor to email us? I hope I get in with a 3.46 prereq GPA, 3.1 cumulative GPA.

In the letter informing me that I was waitlisted it said that you could decline or accept your spot on the waitlist through application portal but I can’t find that option anywhere

I’m accepted! WOW!! I’m in shock, can’t meet you all soon!

For folks on the waitlist, I heard they go through most of it since a lot of people accepted admission at other schools around the same time. Fingers crossed for you!!

Yeah! CONGRATS!! I hope we can all join you!

I'm on the waitlist also. I'm so disappointed, I applied to the 2 year program last year and was waitlisted.

I think what's hurting me is one of my grades in A&P. I got 2 B-'s my first time taking, which I retook to get A's (but they only accept 1 retake of A&P). Otherwise I had an A in Micro, an A- in Nutrition, an A in psych, and A's in the whole Bio series and a 3.81 cumulative GPA. I also have 1,500 hours as a medical scribe and 400 volunteer hours at my local hospital. ?

Have you considered applying to a Community College as well? They don't look at retakes and are much cheaper. If I had a 3.81 cGPA plus the patient care experience, I would apply to a CC and get my BSN later. Did you get B- in both A&P I and A7P II twice?

Yeah, my school uses a quarter system so my first grades in A&P were B-, B-, and B+. I retook 2 terms and got A's but they're only seeing one of those retakes. I've considered applying to a CC but I really wanted to finish in a little over a year and only take the NCLEX once. But looking back, I wish I did apply so I had other options!

When I was waitlisted last year I believe there were 25 spots (can't quite remember) for their regular program, so I'm not sure how much the ABSN waitlist varies. I also applied to the OHSU ABSN program and had an interview and am currently waiting to hear back on that.

I was also confused on how I was supposed to confirm my spot on the waitlist. I sent an email out to admissions stating that I would like to confirm my waitlist status. The whole admission portal is new from last year so I'm assuming they just have some kinks they have to work out!

I was also confused on how to accept my position on the waitlist so I sent an email to admissions as well. I couldn’t see any other way to confirm the position. Unless I was missing something.

Last year I believe they had us confirm via email, so I'm wondering if they'll send out an email to all of us on the waitlist in a few days.

I've just created a facebook page for Linfield ABSN Summer 2020. I'm looking forward to connecting with our cohort!

I searched for this thread yesterday and didn't see it until now, which is why I created the new thread for Summer 2020. Sorry!

Two people have found it, so I think it's live. I don't have DM privileges here (yet), but here's the link:
