I got my ohsu rejection letter today but I did get invited for an interview at mt. Hood for the part time program. I think my strategy paid off since only 50 people applied and the top 40 get interviews. I hope the others waiting on ohsu get better ...

It seems like not much bad news out there today. Congratulations to everyone who got good news!

A good way to start is by taking the classes that all the schools have in common. This helps because you can start applying before you are all the way done with all the pre-req's. Some schools have space for elective credits and you can use those cla...

I am waiting also. Not even just for mine I am waiting for someone, anyone to hear something. lol

I've never heard of them updating the online applications. It's usually just by mail.

Thats pretty awesome that you get a second chance to apply at your next choice. Good luck!

cdf98 What did you use to study? That sounds like an amazing score! Congrats!

To help with the daycare costs the program was only 3 or 4 weeks. I think that may be shorter than the CC. So it could work out well factoring in less need for daycare and the possibility of reimbursment. Good luck with your decision.

How much are the community college programs? I went up to washington two summers ago because the program was shorter. I paid 800 but I dont know how that compares to the CC programs. Also while I was there I was instructed to keep my reciept because ...

I just try to ignore the mailman until I see that other people have started to recieve things. This is my second year applying to schools and Ilearned my lesson last year not to stress myself over things out of my control. I would love to get in but...

You guys need to stop apologzing! No one did anything wrong. The point of these boards is to get information and advice and that is what you did. No one got on here and asked what are the question so I know what to expect. There is nothing wrong with...

I have read through the post and dont see any that look as though they give someone an advatage in the essay. That makes me wonder which ones you guys are talking about. I dont see anything wrong with asking for suggestions on preparing for something...

tiffinapit- You are lucky to have figured out what you want to do so early. My advice would be to think about why you want to be a nurse and skills that you have that would make you good at it. If for some reason you dont get in just know that this i...

I have heard a lot of bad things about the teacher that teaches the class at PSU. Most of the people that I talked to had him for the regular 10 week class. If you took only one term in the summer and one in the fall you would probably still be able ...

Does anyone know what the average admittance statistics are for this school? Is it a tough/competitive program to get into?

I would guess that the GPA isnt the main focus. My only reason for thinking this is that last years average GPA was around 3.75 and I would guess the get enough 4.0 applicants to easily fill a class with all 4.0 students. I know they say they look at...

I dont think that OHSU really uses a point system. I think they look at everything as a whole and some things may get weighted more that others.

I always use it. That was how I picked my A & P teacher. I had sandy for BI 112 and I loved her. I had Merkes for A & P and she was the best teacher I ever had. Her tests weren't easy but you knew exactly what was expected of you. Insteead of...

Did anyone apply for the part time program?

I know someone has recieved an interview for Mt hood today! so they are on the way!

Did you apply for the full or part time program?

I didnt use the stats. I wish that I could but I am confined to portland because of my family. Good luck to you but it sounds like you did your research so it sounds like you will be fine!

This is my second year applying to OHSU and I am not holding my breath because having two hours to write an essay is not enough time for me so I worry that my essay isnt strong enough

Does that mean U of P goes by more than just GPA?

I feel you on that dohgirl. From the begining I have said I will apply anywhere I feel competitive and go where I get in. That hasn't happened yet but it will. I figure you always got to start somewhere and I just am not to picky. Any program will be...
