Hi, first post because I cannot find that much information about this!
Apps recently opened to OHSU's BSN program. I haven't decided if I want to apply to Ashland or Monmouth - I am currently in California (don't hate me Oregonians) but most of my family live close to those two campuses.
Anyone else start their application for OHSU yet?
Also - Any tips for essay question responses? I have a 3.9 GPA in the prereqs and overall, finished all prereqs, and have 4000+ hours of healthcare experience as a medical assistant, but I feel like I still might screw it up if I flub those responses.
I have over 3 years of experience, 3.8 GPA, BLS certified, volunteer hours and was placed on the waiting list /: I hope we all get in and wish you guys the best, remain hopeful! I also did not get in last year and was hoping this was my year
Congrats all who get in this year. Can someone who get in this year please let me know your GPA, experience background, etc.? I would like to know about your profile, so I can prepare for my application next year. Many thanks.
I have a 3.8 GPA, finishing my bachelors degree in 3 years this June, 141 volunteer hours, CNA licensed, phlebotomy class, BLS certified, work as a CNA full time for the last year, my interview was flawless (in my humble opinion) & I am an alternate. I’m only 21. I was disappointed to find out that at the campus I applied to, there was a CNA2 clinical instructor who was one of the interviewers. Her students all were accepted. It’s kind of hard to complete with people who have made relationships with an interviewer who’s been able to observe their skills in person. So I’ll work for another year and try again next year.
I feel the same way! I did really well and I wish they would let us know what to work on for the next year. I worked as a cna2 full time as well at ohsu

I'm pretty sure after the application cycle is finished, you're able to request an application evaluation where they tell you what you can improve upon to become a better candidate for next year!
any one else apply to the Klamath Falls campus? One of my friends got in but I was put on the alternate list and I know of one other girl on the alternate list. I emailed OHSU to get more information and this was their response.
"we actually did not rank OIT campus alternates like we did the other campus alternates! I believe this is because there are not as many alternates on the OIT list as the other campuses. Otherwise, we would have been able to share this information with you. We don’t have access to your placement on the list or the amount of students on that list, but again, I can say that it’s not as large a list as the other campuses."
Hi! Me and my friend both applied to Klamath Falls. I got in and he didn’t. His email clearly said that they were unable to offer him a spot, but he can contact them after a specific date (I can’t remember it) to find out how to strengthen his application for next year.
of course not! If you got in, you definitely deserve it! I am still hopeful considering the OHSU staff said the alternate list isn't very long. And I personally know a few girls who got in after being on the alternate list. I will keep you posted! :)
