OHSU BSN, Fall 2021

Published

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.

says it opens April or may.... you also need to be accepted to OHSU Ashland or RCC to apply

you get your name on a plaque in the entrance of AACH and a free lunch so it’s pretty cool 

Thank you so much! That’s awesome! 

Hi there!

I just sent in my interview essays for the Portland campus. To those who submitted earlier, should I be getting a confirmation email that my essays were received? 

Thanks!

Hi!

I sent my essay responses in for the Portland campus yesterday around 12pm and haven't received any sort of confirmation yet. I'm thinking about asking for one because I'd hate for something to have gone wrong and then I missed the deadline ?

Hi everyone!

I applied to the Klamath program and received my interview invite on Wednesday. I am very excited, but also extremely nervous. I was reading all the comments and I am confused about the essay invites some of you were talking about. Is for certain campuses? I did the essays on the application, but from what I read it seems that they are not the same as the essay invites. Can someone explain those to me? Wishing everyone the best! 

Essays only apply to Portland campus as they do not do interviews.

Hi! Did you end up asking?

I'm sure it's okay! They're probably receiving a ton of e-mails, and typically they take 24-48 hours to respond from that e-mail anyways. As long as it shows as sent in your sent folder, I'm sure it delivered!

I did and never heard back ? I’m sure it’s fine, I like triple checked that the email address was correct. Now the wait begins ??

Thank you for the reassurance!! I’m so nervous something silly like that would mess up my chances. Good luck to you! Hopefully our wait isn’t too long!

Does anyone know any admissions statistics for the Portland campus in the previous years? Specifically wondering how many interviews they usually offer, then how many are accepted. Thanks!

Has anyone heard back after the interview essays? I’ve been checking my email non stop! I hope we find out this week. Good luck to everyone!

Hi Kristen,

we should hear back two or three weeks from the interview deadline ?
