    The parking really depends on what time your essay is scheduled. I went got there around 1:45, and had no issue finding a spot. Parking is tough in the mornings, for 9am and 11 am classes, then it...

    It wasn't so bad... They were really nice and non-intimidating, which put me at ease. But I could have used another 15 minutes to feel really good about my essay! Guess we'll just keep on waiting -...

    Kamaboko - it's at the bottom of the admissions page: "The essay questions will not be based on any specific prerequisites or other courses, but will address general factors such as personal values,...

    Just wanted to say good luck to the PCC essay-writers this week... Is anyone doing anything special to prepare? My essay is tomorrow afternoon; I think I may go over the possible topics they list on...
  11. Who is applying for Linfield this go around?

    Haha, booty call list! Pretty much, huh? I'm wait listed for Linfield, too. I was initially pretty bummed ( read: devastated) to get 2 wait list letters (u of P and Linfield), but after I called U of...

    Who didn't get invited to the essay with 59 points? I don't see that

    I'm waiting on OHSU, also... Many Portland schools request a deposit by May 1, but OHSU seems to notify later. I bet PCC will be mid-May or early June for their deposit. Last year, OHSU notified...
  15. Applicants to Portland area schools 2011

    My 2+ years with the PCC advisors has not provided me with accurate information, I have to say. After a few meetings with the health admissions advisors, I realized I had to become my own source of...

    Oh, and I'm sure it's on a computer, because it's in the computer lab at Sylvania... On the application, it says that the top 150-200 candidates are selected to write essays, the top 100 are offered...

    This is my first application round, but there's information in another thread from last year about PCC's essay format. I think you could search "PCC essay" to find the thread...I know, my mail comes...

    PS: On the letter I received, I was given a "student number" of 1000-something. I hand-delivered my application on the 15th, towards the end of the day - they probably assigned a number to each...

    I just got my essay invitation for 4/19 PCC also. First letter I've gotten with a "Congratulations" so far :) I applied with 58. 5-ish points according to my calculations. PCC does not confirm the...
  21. Mt. Hood Nursing... Possible Strike??

    Ginnym, I hope Mt. Hood works out for you! They aren't closing, and they make it seem like they will be hiring PT staff in the interim if a strike does occur, to ensure students can continue their...
  22. Mt. Hood Nursing... Possible Strike??

    I just got an email this morning that they canceled the part-time nursing program! Applicants can either request to be forwarded to the full-time pool, or receive a refund of their money. It can't be...

    I know.. I saw that, too! Yay! And no, I fully expect a letter by tomorrow
  24. Applicants to Portland area schools 2011
