Hey all! Now that the application deadline has passed, I feel comfortable finally starting a post. Just curious to hear who else applied to this program. It's fascinating to me to hear about people's different experiences, stats, expectations, etc. I...

Awesome, I'd feel really optimistic if I were you. We already know at least one spot opened up just from this forum, I'm sure another one will too.

Any updates?

Hey all. I created a Facebook page this morning. If you search for "Linfield Nursing Spring 2019 Cohort", it should come up unless I royally messed something up. My first name starts with a C (I think it's okay to say that) just in case you want conf...

I understand your feelings. I got waitlisted the first time I applied to nursing school (not at Linfield, but still) and it's not a great feeling. I have my fingers crossed for you though and am at least optimistic you'll hopefully be near the top of...

Thinking good thoughts for you. At least one person on here who was already accepted will open up a waitlist spot, so that's a positive. I don't think most people (if any) received financial aid letters with their acceptances so I'd guess there may b...

I'm planning on starting one in the morning and I'll post all the details. I'm a SW Portland girl myself but my boyfriend will be finishing his final semester of law school down in Salem in the spring so I can definitely see some carpooling happening...

Congratulations! I feel like this is an unprecedented thread in terms of acceptances, which is so cool. It'll be super nice to meet you!

It feels about a million miles away but I'm sure you're right. Super glad to hear that the stories are good though! Thanks for the insight!

Congratulations, two acceptances is awesome. Best of luck at PCC!

Congratulations! Looking forward to meeting you! Random question for you (and anyone else this ends up applying to), but would you guys be at all interested in starting a Facebook group for the cohort? I saw them for previous cohorts and thought it m...

Anyone received anything today? I'm so antsy and excited for you guys.

I was a drama queen and asked them to hold it at the school for me to pick up so I wouldn't worry about that one too much lol. I think you'd be totally fine doing that.

Thanks! I only have my answer because I was able to pick mine up in person before they got mailed, so don't worry too much!

A friend of mine tried and Mindy wouldn't tell her because they said they'll get bombarded otherwise, but it certainly couldn't hurt to ask if you're curious!

Yes, they were sent just a little bit ago! I actually just opened mine and I got in! So excited and can't wait for everyone else to find out and for the cohort to start meeting :)

I leave out of town tomorrow for a month, so she was able to thankfully hold on to my letter so I can grab it! I have confirmation they've been sent though!

Anyone know whether they'll allow us to pick our letters up in person if we live in Portland since they're due to go out or if Mindy will tell us via email if we ask?

Awesome, thanks for the update. I wonder if the 180 are all transfer students or if that includes the total applications between transfer students and current Linfield students.

Did anyone ever get that updated info from Mindy?

She didn't, but I admittedly didn't ask. I was more concerned with when we'd find out. She's really helpful and quick about questions though, so I'd just email her if you're still concerned/curious. From what I know, there are 150 people that met min...

Spoke to Mindy this morning and she told me that letters will be mailed on the 17th, just as an FYI.

Hey jennxmarie, totally random question but were you in Micro this past spring at PCC? I think we might've been in the same class!

Hi all! Spring 2019 applicant here as well. I have a previous bachelor's degree in Biostatistics so I could've applied for the accelerated program, but after getting waitlisted for OHSU's accelerated and thinking about the fast pace, I'm convinced th...

Hey all! Long time lurker, but now that the application deadline has passed, I feel comfortable finally starting a post. Just curious to hear who else applied to this program. It's fascinating to me to hear about people's different experiences, stats...
