I did call at that number this morning. She told me that yes some people were emailed. she asked where my choices were and I told her the Portland campus. She said not all campuses sent out the email but some did to selected applicants. She did tell me not to give up home because I still had a shot.
I live in Chicago but applied to schools all over and when I called OHSU this morning to ask if the email thing was true the lady said that selected applicants have been informed my email.
