Hi all, just curious if anyone has received an email for an invite phase 2 yet? Looking at previous years, this is about time time they were sent out. 

Best of luck!

I'm on the waitlist as well.

I'm curious if anyone else never received an acknowledgement that their Phase 2 essay was received -- I never did, nor did I receive any response when I emailed to inquire about it.

I received a message after I submitted mine stating they got it. That is very odd!

Has anyone looked into Clark college in vancouver? I was trying to find more information regarding their nursing program. It looks like they may take on more students? I only have my Microbiology class left to do and 2 electives and I will have completed the prerequisites for nursing and finished my associates degree (which I am enrolled to take these classes this Summer). I am at the very end of the alternate list, and while I am proud I made it on the wait list, I am curious if I have any other options at this point.

I just confirmed that they did indeed receive my Phase 2 essay. 

Apparently I'm not the only person who never received confirmation of receipt -- they think it may have been related to the volume of messages they were receiving and sending out within the few minutes of the essay deadline.

I am on the waitlist too! I'm so crushed. I was confused on how many are on the list as well. If they normally invite 175 to phase 2 and then accept 72. Wouldn't that only leave around 103? But someone said they were #105 and #108 on the list? The unknown is so stressful LOL.

Wait I didn't even think about it like that... I am 108 on the waitlist. That makes zero sense now, I'm so confused LOL!

Right?! Unless they invited more than 175 to phase 2? I have no clue. I just want to get in so bad 😩

My theory is that they added everyone to the waitlist who made it through phase 2 so that those people could have the extra points you get for being waitlisted on next year's application cycle?

That does make sense! But wasn't there some people that didn't even get on the waitlist? I could be wrong though too haha.

Got my email for alternate #35. I got into CCC though and I'm an alternate for OHSU and still waiting on PCC. So I know at least my spot will open up. Keep your hopes up!

I don't know that that is alright. I know 3 people that got declined this cycle. Not even an alternate.
