They did that to me too, where they didn't reply. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Do you know if they have already contacted anyone? or when they might do so? They're not really specific in their replies so it leaves me just as curious, if not with more questions.

Nothing. I had emailed with them last month to ask when they would be taking people from the waitlist and the lady I spoke with said she would start sending emails and making calls around the 5th of June. I haven't heard anything or known anyone who has. I did find out through that email exchange that I was on the top 10 though.

I'm sorry to hear that Have you been told the financial aid that you will be able to receive otherwise? Thanks! I have a feeling I might have made it if I didn't have that error but for now I'm hoping I get off the waitlist.

Congrats obviously getting into two schools! I wish you the best. As for me, I guess I'll just have to be patient. Thanks!

That's great! I have no experience except for shadowing the fire department emt, ER, L&D, and Med/Surg in high school. I'm working on my cna right now but that wasn't included in my application. My gpa is 3.85 overall and 4.0 for sciences.

Hi everyone, I'm just wondering if anyone in here has applied and been accepted to UP and might be choosing another school instead? I'm on the waitlist and besides Linfield, which I'm applying to in June, it's one of the only places I've applied to. Thanks and congrats to everyone that's been accepted into nursing programs this year!

Thanks HtotheB, i would really appreciate it:) I'm really hoping I get in. May I know what your gpa/experience is? Was this your first time applying?

Hi guys Congrats on getting into UP and getting an I interview for prov scholars! I applied and was unfortunately waitlisted due to errors in my application. I was told I was placed priority on the waitlist, not quite sure exactly what that means though. I'd like to know an exact number but I guess priority sounds pretty good. Anyways, I was just wondering if you had and idea if everyone that was accepted is taking their spot or if there might be some opening up. I heard last year there were only 3 people taken from the waitlist. I'm just trying to know something, the wait is torture!

Hey truvu76, Did you ever call UP after your email? I ended up getting waitlisted too and I've been very anxious to know anything at all. Did you get in ohsu or Chemeketa, I believe they've sent out letters already.

Hello Everyone, I was recently waitlisted for University of Portland. I would like to know if I should keep some hope that I may get it. Sometimes I believe I should due to how I got waitlisted but I know it pretty much depends on someone giving up their spot. It's kind of a long story for how I got waitlisted but I'll make short. Basically there was an error on my application which led the SON to believe my application was incomplete and so they didn't consider it. I called admissions after waiting what seemed like forever for a letter to come in the mail. I was able to talk to Linda and she said she would see if the SON would like to take a look at my application. I got a call back about 20 minutes later saying she had spoken with the dean and that after viewing my application the only reason they believe I probably wouldn't have gotten in is due to my lack of experience. I've worked really hard and have what I believe is a good GPA so I honestly thought I had a good chance of being accepted. Anyways, she said they were placing me as priority on the waitlist, but she didn't exactly give me a number. Like I said, I feel hopeful that I may get in since I have been listed as "priority", but I would really appreciate some advice or to be given some sort of hope. ha. Does anybody know when people get call off the waitlist, or when people deny their spots if they even do so? How many people usually get called from the waitlist at UP? Thanks!

RSMgrafx Congrats on getting into both schools! I'm sure someone will be happy to take up that spot you just freed up! I was waitlisted for the Fall cohort, I believe it was full due to incoming Linfield students so I will apply in June for the Spring 2018 cohort.

Congrats nursingstudent96! I'm guessing you have a previous bachelors degree?

NRAnde91 That's how I've felt all week. I have a feeling this weekend is going to feel extra long. I did apply to the providence scholarship, did you? You definitely have a lot of experience, something which I lack. That what I've been the most fearful of when it comes to being denied. :/ Still hoping for the best though, my GPA is right around yours so fingers crossed!

trvu76 Yes, I also applied at Linfield. I'm regretting my decision to only apply at two places. I know its still early and UP is the first to send out letters but I've very nervous especially seeing that others have already received theirs. Hopefully you can get a better answer when you call!
