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!

Is anyone moving to Portland from out of state?

Summer Cohort! Congratulations, everyone!

Also, am I mistaken that I thought we'd be able to mark a preference for summer vs. fall start? There was some talk about that in the debrief session.

Hey guys, just wondering what time you got the email, pacific time? Still haven't received one, ahhhh

I'm also curious as to the time you all received your acceptance emails? Did you interview on Thursday or Friday? Are you from out of town? I know in years past they've let the individuals from out of town know first. Still hoping I'll have an email pop in my inbox before the end of the day!

Hey @MrBuckeye I want to know the answers to those questions as well! I live in Bend and interviewed on Friday. What about you? What about everyone else who received their acceptance letters?

I'm in San Diego, still haven't gotten one either.

I also interviewed on Friday.

Haven't heard anything yet... I'm local and interviewed on Friday (in answer to your question @mrbuckeye.). Hoping to hear soon!!

Hey guys, just wondering what time you got the email, pacific time? Still haven't received one, ahhhh

I received an email at 2:00pm PST. Also, MrBuckeye, I interviewed on Thursday and I am from out of town. Hope you all hear back soon!

Hi, I received my acceptance email today at 1:55 pm PST for the Fall cohort. The email mentioned that an official letter would be sent out this week. I am from Encinitas, Ca and my interview was on Thursday. I hope this helps and that everyone hears back soon!

My only hope now is that they were sent out alphabetically and the second half of the alphabet hasn't been sent yet? Anyone accepted

want to say what their last name starts with?

I'm having some anxiety too, but I wouldn't be surprised if they're sending emails out in waves. Also, we should get a letter either way (good OR bad news). Don't worry yet! :)
