Members are discussing their acceptance letters and interview experiences for the OHSU Portland nursing program, sharing their stats, GPA, and personal stories. Some members are on alternate lists for different campuses and are seeking information on the selection process. Others are celebrating their acceptance to various campuses and discussing the timeline for feedback and admissions decisions.
There's a thread posted for the ABSN but I don't see one for the three year BSN program yet! I sent my application in January 15th for the Portland program. I misunderstood the email that was sent on January 14th. It seemed to imply that if an application was not in verified status on NursingCAS by the application deadline of 02/15, the application would not be considered at all. I had been working on my essays for two months because I wanted to make sure they were perfect. I read over them quickly, made some tweaks and submitted. I'm super nervous that I came off as overzealous or had some grammatical errors I didn't catch the first time.
The website says that we can expect interview invites about a month after the application deadline. Has anyone received an invite yet?

if anyone got on the alternate status, may I know if OHSU still uses the words "highly likely", "most likely," and "moderate/ likely" for their list.
I was also placed on the alternate list for Ashland! My interview definitely could have gone better, but now I have a better idea of what to expect for next time.

Hi! Can you please reply to this post if you ever receive a letter saying that a position opened up for you? I'm still hoping that they will contact me for the next few months before the fall term starts.

I'm shocked I got an interview as well I have a 3.42 GPA for my pre reqs and 5 years CNA experience and other health care experience

I did!! I saw that you did as well! So we will be in the same cohort 🙂 I saw that you're in the CC cohort as well! If you get accepted into both do you have a preference of where you want to go ?
