It was the last day to do it, but I OFFICIALLY SUBMITTED MY APPLICATION TO OHSU!!!! ?
Anyone else applying for this cohort?
A little about me: I am an older, non-traditional student, single Mama with 8 and 13 year old boys! I currently hold a BA in Psych. I wanted to apply to the ABSN, however, my Statistics class is over 7 years old, and it was also a C. ? I will just have to retake it, if I end up needing to apply next year. This is also my very first application cycle. ?
I feel like OHSU is definitely my top choice, but I will also be applying to Linfield, and possibly Concordia (only because they have an accelerated program, and seem to offer more start dates.
Well I got an email saying that I have been placed on an alternate list ....
not sure how to feel at the moment. Feeling a bit defeated, not quite good enough but trying to stay positive
Don’t lose hope yet... I know some people were able to ask where they were on the list position-wise. Maybe call or email tomorrow? And, no matter what, you were invited for an interview because they already considered you a fit for the program. Don’t give up. ? Easier said that done, I know. My interview is a week from today, and I’m a ball of nerves. ?
I got in ?? My email came in at 4:14pm yesterday. Wow! I feel like everything has been leading up to this. I really hope each and every one of you get that email!

I looked up common nursing interview questions, typed up and then re handwrote some basic responses/stories basically. That is what I do before any interview and it helps me a lot. I did the typing a couple days after getting the invite, and then rewrote a few that I expected by hand to get it in to my brain better. In the end, I am glad I did it and overall they were all so friendly that it was way less scary than I hyped it up to be (although who knows how I will feel when I actually find out the decision). ?
Did you feel like those commonly asked questions prepared you well for the interview questions?

In a way they did. Not so much the basic answering of the questions, but finding stories that went with them as examples helped. I would say the basic questions helped me with the essay more, but overall I am glad I prepared.
Congrats @pharmadillo! I was accepted to Ashland too! ..... Though, not certain if I’ll accept since out of state tuition is a lot (I’m in California) and far from close friends/family. How easy is it to find people to connect with in their late 20s/early30s? Ashland is a very small town

It is small, but people are VERY friendly. Lots of activities and outdoors stuff. I have my biology degree from SOU and connecting with people was never too difficult if you like the outdoors or the arts.
