    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 -...

    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...

    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...
