OHSU's Accelerated BSN 2015 cohort

Published

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!

Anyone know when we are supposed to be notified if we're in or not?

I haven't gotten any emails or letters yet, either, so that's a relief to know I'm not alone! I hope it comes soon. The waiting game is tough, especially when you are trying to make plans for the upcoming months of your life!

Hey all! Talked to admissions this morning, hoping that we would hear today. I have to make a non-refundable deposit to my safety school by 2pm! Sounds like we won't be hearing before then :sorry:

They did say in the next "couple days" they will be emailing everyone - all the yes's and the no's. :nailbiting:

I agree that the waiting game is tough. I've been compulsively checking my email ever since I read the post from elocinahtnamas that says we should hear back this week.

Has anyone applied for outside scholarships? I am having some difficulty finding scholarships that apply to people getting a second bachelor's in nursing. If you've found some good sites or other resources, please share! Thanks.

(I just wanted to delete this post)

@elocinahtnamas, I guess you ended up having to place the deposit at your safety school? What a shame! Hopefully it wasn't too much!

I already had to put a $500 deposit on my safety school. I think that's just the nature of the admissions process. I'm also waiting to hear... It's nail biting.

I got an acceptance email :)

Woo! Got into the fall cohort!

Woohoo! I got into the fall cohort as well! Looking forward to meeting you @elocinahtnamas!

Summer Cohort for me :)
