I have 63.84/70 for my invite

Wow, congrats! It does suck to know that i was only about 4 pts off of an invite, but such is life. This year was especially cutthroat. Also, the pessimist in me thinks that the days of 48/70 getting in is over, especially since the total # of seats got halved since 2015, and the # of applicant keeps increasing year after year despite that fact. I hope you make it all the way!

Keep on Keepin on! You'll make it, one way or another! Besides, this is one of the toughest programs to get into in the state! Don't let this define your nursing greatness, just use it as the stepping stone!

Is anyone willing to share what score they applied with for the PCC 2019? Just curious what is considered competitive now...

I got 59/70 and rejected on phase 1.

Next year they are changing the admission process, so try again. Don’t lose hope. I have a 3.9 and I’ve been a CNA 2 for 5 years and I got flat out denied for PCC, and accepted to tier two at 3 different colleges. Yes, PCC was THAT competitive this year.

Also, if you can, try applying a bit south of Portland. LBCC, Chemeketa, and OHSU Monmouth are about an hour drive from Portland, and much easier to get accepted.

I just got my interview invite for MHCC! A bit surprised, because, although I have years of CNA experience, I wasn't able to get points for any of it. Looks like MHCC is a lot less competitive than PCC this year...

Hey I recognize you from last year's forum! I too am in the same boat as you. Made it to phase 2 last yr and got alternate, but outright rejected this year. Where did all these hyper-competitive people show up from overnight? I feel burned after working so hard for the 4.0gpa and CNA certificate. :(

Does anyone have any insight into how many spots OHSU's BSN program offers and how many interviews? I'm in group 1C on 4/19. If anyone has had interviews at OHSU I would love to hear about it!

Still waiting on my CCC application. Last year I saw April 11th the emails were sent out. I take the Kaplan test for Chemeketa on Friday (my current points is 285 w/o the test, so nervous!)

Which OHSU campus did you apply at? How do you know what group you're in? I didn't see that on my invite.
