OHSU BSN, Fall 2021

[chaos_lover]

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 am waiting too! Have no idea where I stand in their ranking and 85 is such a big applicant pool.. Hoping they send out decisions sooner than the very end of the month, I’m wondering how long they took last year. Good luck to you!

I also applied to RCC but was accepted at MHCC

Tomorrow is the date where folks who were accepted make their decision. Good luck to all my alternate peoples!

Yay! If any alternates get called please let me know I am hoping to hear back from OHSU

Typically after the due date, admissions sends a follow-up letter to individuals they haven't heard from. And then from there we are able to start inviting the alternates.. I believe alternates are usually contacted by the beginning of July

 

Got this info from ohsu. They also said I was high probability. Good luck all!

Thank you! That is great information to know, I am  moderate likely alternate.

I plan on it. Was still waiting on an ADN program as OHSU would require a move. OHSU would be a much better program in my opinion though.

La Grande. 3 year program. Figured it would be cheaper to live there and less competitive compared to Portland, etc. 

Had zero relevant medical experience at the time of applying. All As in the prerequisites with one B in the social science portion I believe. That probably did it for me.
