Hi,

I can’t find a thread for this program so figured I would start one. I was wondering if anyone has got a confirmation their application was received?

@Catsandcoffeecakes were you also listed as “highly likely”? With @maya_jk that makes 7 of us as highly likely alternates...

Yep.

I also am astonished it took them one week to get back to us.

[sierrazacks, EMT-B]

I am also highly likely, seems like a large number of highly likely!

Someone who is way better at stats than me should calculate the odds ?

I'm pretty good at stats. Does anyone happen to know how many interviewed? They usually interview twice as many applicants as they have spots for at the Portland campus.

@sierrazacks, oh goodness. Now that’s 8 on the highly likely list ?

I think they interviewed 60. They accept 26? Not sure how many they usually put on different wait lists however.

It does seem to be quite an anomaly.... everyone has been placed in the highly likely category, and we've heard from no one that has been accepted, or even put into another category of the wait list, or rejected...

No one has been accepted in Ashland?

I know 2 people who were accepted. And oh WOW!, 8 seems pretty high for the highly likely category..

That's what we're trying to figure out. As far as we're aware, no one on this forum who applied to the Ashland ABSN has received an acceptance letter-- or shared that information on the forum, at least. So far, we've all been wait listed as "highly likely".

Do you know if they accepted?

Yes, I believe they did.

Yeah, not having the number of wait listed applicants would prevent me from calculating a precise probability with any real certainty, especially with such a small sample. OHSU doesn't disclose those numbers. For all we know, they may have chosen not reject anyone of the interviewed applicants. I have a friend who interviewed for their MD program who hasn't heard back yet. Maybe they're short staffed as a result of the Governor's new mandate?
