Hello! Hopefully this is posted in the correct forum. I've been looking for months to see if anyone has started a thread about applying to OHSU's ABSN program for 2016, and couldn't find anything (just a thread for the traditional BSN). So I thought I'd start one!
I finished my Nursing CAS application in November, and just updated with my fall term grades last week. So now I'm anxiously awaiting contact!
A little about me and my app:
I come from a social science background, and have worked in the non-profit sector for the last 7 years. I'm a Portland native, and am currently working as a birth doula. I volunteer in a NICU, and I have a 17 month old son. My cumulative GPA is 3.96, and I still need to complete A&P III and Statistics (winter term) and Microbiology (spring term). I did ask OHSU if not having all the prerequisite complete at the time of application would affect my chances, and they said that it wouldn't (so hopefully that's the case!).
I'd love to hear from other applicants, so please feel free to post a little about yourself!
I've been accepted to the Ashland campus and haven't gotten the official letter yet. I called about it today and was told that the official admissions letters were sent out yesterday and today--they should be showing up soon!
My good friend that I made doing pre-reqs just texted me that she got an email from OHSU Portland. She was waitlisted. I'm seriously SHOCKED because she is an amazing student and had a good amount of volunteer experience. I haven't gotten an email yet but I thought she did much better that I did so I don't think that's good news for me lol.
Oh man... I'm going to choose to believe they're sending out waitlist emails first, and that means we're all in the clear. Positive thinking...

OMG I was accepted!!! Summer cohort!!!! I'm in shock!!!!!!!
Hooray! Congrats! I was accepted to summer as well, but I'm asking to switch to fall. We were told that the ABSN-CNM students were starting in the summer, and would have priority for maternal-child clinical placements. That's my main area of interest, so I'm hoping to switch cohorts. :)
Positive thinking...

Has anyone that got accepted to the Ashland campus got their official admissions letter, not just the email?
