Hi there everyone. I didn't see a thread started yet, so I thought I would start one.
I am applying for the 2015 Accelerated BSN cohort (Portland campus) and am very nervous about the whole process with Nursing CAS and having transcripts sent to them.
I am also curious if anyone out there has an idea of what they are looking for and who will get interviews? It makes me nervous that there is no essay, so I assume that interviews will be based on grades alone. I have an undergraduate degree in Art History with a 3.64 GPA and a prereq GPA of 3.76 from PCC. Does anyone know if I even stand a chance? I have taken all of the prerequisites except for Micro, which I plan on taking in the winter.
It sounds like the interviews and no essays is a new thing? Does anyone know? Here's to hoping I at least get an interview!
I haven't gotten an email yet, but I got my email to interview several days after everyone else, so I'm thinking maybe they go down a list of when you applied or how many points you earned through the whole process or maybe some completely arbitrary order. I'm from Seattle. I applied right at the buzzer. Just a thought!
I am going to create a summer 2015 to 2016 OHSU ABSN facebook group. Does anyone have an opinion if it should be just summer or summer and fall, any preferences?
I applied pretty early in the process last fall. Interviewed in the Friday groups and live in Portland. Considering so many people haven't heard anything yet, I have to assume they're emailing in waves either alphabetically or some other order. Anyone have a chance to give the admissions office a call this morning to find out more information? I'm going to try and call this afternoon after work if I haven't heard anything.

I think it would probably be best to create a group just for the summer cohort. My feeling is that a single cohort per Facebook group would make things less confusing for people. We'll probably use the group throughout the program, so it will also save people from receiving a ton of information they don't need (from the other cohort, for example).
I was waitlisted- for those accepted (congratulations!), did they say a specific date or time frame by which you have to respond and put your deposit down?
