OHSU BSN PDX program applicants - 2010

U.S.A. Oregon

Published

Hi,

Anyone else out there getting anxious to hear from OHSU's Portland campus for their BSN program? They said they'll notify in early May which is still a month away, but I just want to know now! It's my first time applying and the only program that I applied to this year, so I'm not counting on it.

Good luck to everyone!

:)

Thats pretty awesome that you get a second chance to apply at your next choice. Good luck!

I am eagerly awaiting the letter from OHSU as well! I got a rejection letter from PCC earlier this month. I wonder how many applicants they received this year (PCC had 1005!). I think they only admit 30+ students to the Portland campus, so I'm nervous, because that is the only campus I was able to apply to.

Shelbel,

This is really odd.

I think Ashland must not have enough "qualified" applicants. It is odd that they called you right before they supposed to mail out their decisions.

Did you say "yes" to her? Did she give you any explanation for the call?

Small update:

My Internet is working just fine as I post this message.

I just tried to check my online appn at OHSU (which I do like an idiot every day, several times a day), and I am getting this:

# The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few

moments.

# If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network

connection.

# If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure

that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Could they be entering decisions?

I've never heard of them updating the online applications. It's usually just by mail.

That would be unusual. The Ashland campus generally has about a 30% acceptance rate. They also usually have the largest cohort size of the 5 campuses (over 50)......not sure how they decide to share applications between the campuses though.

Even after I got in, they never updated the application. The system they use to track applications isn't tied to the system you use as a student....so they don't need to update it at all.

This year they had over 775 applicants for the 5 campuses & accepted 165......

I received that information in an email sent to me through a site that sent OHSU my info (capex? I think it's called). They made calls for the accelerated program but I don't think for the BS program.... letters will be out the end of next week though! Good luck! :)

I am so glad that I found a site full of other applicants as anxious as I am! The closer Monday comes the more I think about the OHSU letters! I hope that people will post when they first receive their letters! anyone know how many applicants applied to OHSU this year? And how many do they accept to each campus?

Thanks everyone! And good luck ;)
