Just received an acceptance to the Ashland ABSN! Someone must have been working super late tonight

Hi all! Just got an interview invite for Ashland ABSN today at 2:59! Good luck to all ?

That’s crazy considering the interview dates are in 2 weeks... makes it so hard for anyone working in healthcare in person who needs to take off work! Which I would assume is a lot of the people who applied ? maybe they got a lot more applicants than they expected?

No ? I’ve been obsessively checking my email haha. I think they’ll send them this week or early next week, they usually go out around the 20th I think and I feel like they have to give enough notice if people need to take time off work for the Friday interviews

At the info session they said it was about 500. I’m regretting applying to Ashland now ? I’m definitely more confident with my writing skills than with my interviewing skills, assuming I even get invited!

Did anyone else take any prereqs this fall semester? I'm getting a bit worried because I am still waiting on my grades to be posted and then it has to be verified by NursingCAS again, so it probably won't be sent to OHSU until after the deadline to submit. Is anyone else in the same situation?

Oh no, definitely not what I wanted to hear! I’m worried because I’ll still have one prerequisite in progress in the Spring and I feel like that could impact my application. Hopefully the second time works out for you! How was the interview process with covid? I’m assuming everything was online but what was the format like?

So many people applying to Ashland! I felt the same way when I was finishing mine, I was convinced I would find a typo as soon as I submitted but I feel a little better now that it’s over with ?

This is what they sent me when I requested information about the program: Here are some statistics from our last application cycle: · Portland: 515 applicants/ 24 spots for Summer, 32 spots for fall · Ashland: 135 applicants/ 27 spots for Summer I believe the numbers of spots are slightly different this year but I can’t remember what it is exactly. I know they are adding a Winter cohort for Portland as well so there are more slots than last year. Hope that helps!

I have! Just wanted to get it over with LOL

I matched the courses I had in progress and the one I have planned for the Spring term, it just doesn’t list a grade since they’re not complete. I think you can update it when this term finishes

I believe you have the option to indicate that you would like to be considered for terms other than the one you applied for. My understanding was that they offer admission to the best candidates and then try to fit people into their preferred term as best as possible. I could be wrong though!

Yeah I definitely am nervous about how competitive it is. I thought Ashland would be less competitive but the stats are similar to the program in Portland since they have 3 cohorts. I also feel like I lost out on healthcare experience due to Covid but it seems like they have a pretty holistic application process so I’m hoping my essays showed how my other experiences relate to nursing! I guess all there is to do now is be hopeful!

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone else is applying for the ABSN at OHSU for 2021? I just submit my application for the Ashland campus and would love to connect with other people who are applying! I'm feeling pretty nervous about how competitive the program is ?
