PCC/MHCC/CCC Portland Fall 2018

Published

Hi everyone, I thought I would start a thread for all the applicants of the Portland, OR area that applied to the schools above. Who else applied ? :)

I applies to all 3 and am waiting for the hear about the 1st round around the middle to end of March. Fingers crossed, hope to make some new contacts, good luck everyone!

Hi, been lurking on this thread for a while. I'm an alternate and still waiting for that phone call. I noticed that the name checkoff list was NOT in an alphabetical order and seemed random... does that mean that is the order of their secret alternate ranking? She checked me off in the middle of the list so I thought FML.

Also it is true that there were a lot more alternates present of 48 people there than the accepted (20-25?), so unless a lot of accepted people drop (which I don't think will happen given how competitive things were this year), people not in maybe top 10 of waiting list might not have much of a shot at PCC, that's my take on it though!

@nurseregal86 CONGRATS!

Hey there, yeah be patient, I know of two people now that have been called so far and I am sure it will take a while to get all of the alternates called today that they want to offer a seat to. My guess is more will get calls tomorrow. I am crossing my fingers for you!

Congrats! Would you mind telling me what time you got your phone call today? I'm still waiting and I'm not sure if they are done for the day.

Hi, I also have been hanging around this chat.

This question is for those who got the call from the alternates list into the accepted (Congrats by the way!):

When you were at Orientation, did you notice that your name was near the top of the list of the Alternates list of names where we checked in? Per Cuddly Elephant's hunch, I think that there is like a 0% chance I'll get in because my name was near the bottom.

Thanks everyone!

Congrats everyone! Does anyone else feel just a litttttlleeee misled about the class size, especially being an alternate? The website says up to 80 so hearing 32 was a complete shock!

I'm slowly losing hope about getting off the waitlist since it's been a couple days now but who knows what could happen. Also cuddlyelephant I didn't even pay attention to that so I can't add anything!

Yes! Also considering 54 were accepted last year, that would mean that everyone (accepted or alternate) would have technically been accepted. :(

EXACTLY! When I thought it was 80 I was pretty confident that almost everyone on the waitlist would get in, but now I'm just crossing my fingers for everyone.
