OHSU Accelerated Bachelors to Masters 2011

estrella13 · Jan 4, 2011

Congratulations. I am assuming we got the same email. My Yale interview is the 20th and OHSU are the 20th and 21st. OHSU said that they can make exceptions and do some the following week. OHSU is my first choice. I am wondering if I should cancel my trip to Yale and do that interview over the phone and attend the 20th and 21st at OHSU. What do you think?

Hi! I also got an interview for the midwifery program. Does anyone know how many applications they received and how many people were offered interviews? And did you reply to the e-mail to accept/schedule the interview or did you call? I'm not sure what the proper etiquette is for this type of thing. Thanks!!

I replied to the email to confirm. That's what UCSF had us do, so I assumed it was probably okay for OHSU as well.

Did anyone else get a second email today? The two emails were almost identical for me, but one said midwifery and the other just said it was from the school of nursing. Otherwise they were exactly the same.

Yes, I received the additional email. I also noticed they added information about the potluck in the second one.

I did get a second e-mail. Mine are identical (both say midwifery), but came from different senders. I sent the same reply to both.

Oh wow, I did not get the original email and was convinced that I didn't get an interview - and then what a beautiful email I received today! Mine also says midwifery and an interview on the 20th and 21st.

Sorry, first time posting on this site - but I got an interview too! Does anyone know about how many people are pulled for interviews? I know there's only 8 spots, so I'm thinking about 20 or so? Congrats to everyone so far!

Hi. Do the eight spots include folks who also applied to the DNP program? Or just the MSN? Thanks.

What are you guys planning on wearing to the interview? I bought a suit for Yale, but not sure I want to wear a suit to OHSU.

babymidwife1 · Jan 12, 2011

I still haven't figured out what to wear. I was going to buy a suit for Yale, but now that I'm doing a phone interview there, I think I could wear business casual to both OHSU and UCSF and be fine (and more comfortable).

I'm thinking of wearing nice pants, a blouse, sweater, and a blazer. Is anyone else going to the potluck? I'm wondering if that should be business casual too.

estrella13 · Jan 12, 2011

I feel the same way. I will not feel comfortable in a suit. I was planning on the potluck being more casual-thinking of wearing nice jeans and a nice shirt. I do not like to dress up. Have you heard anything about the actual interview day?
