  1. Alternates to MHCC

    i personally have notified all schools one way or another, but i know of some people who are holding out. so stay positive
  2. Alternates to MHCC

    Most of the programs ask wait listed people not to call, I think the best bet is to ask people you know are on the wait list if they have heard
  3. Applicants to Portland area schools 2011

    Thanks for this! Did you transfer last fall? I heard a lot of it is online - I will be transferring from MHCC not CCC but I heard that for the community college students who transfer for their BSN at OHSU it's mostly online. I really can't seem to ge...

    Yes!! I heard from them on Monday, although I was pretty high on the list but they are indeed moving through. As a reminder to everyone else please notify your schools if you know whether you intend to accept, think of the wait listers! :) Good luck
  5. Alternates to MHCC

    If things went according to plan MHCC should have accepted 64 students, and I believe the top 40 of the remainders would be alternates. Make sure you reply to your alternate letter, when I did they gave me an actual wait list number and I was happy t...

    It made me smile! Hope you didn't think I was bothered by it, I was trying to defend you:)

    I do think the ugly comment was intended with humor but I will say MHCC's program for one does not take place on the Gresham campus, rather in a newer building off Burnside. And I'm fully aware that cheating can happen anywhere, but it's more blatant...

  9. Applicants to Portland area schools 2011

    Okay, this is probably my tenth post today - sorry! But I just got my CCC letter - as expected, I've been placed on the alternate list, however I was under the impression they were giving wait list numbers. Mine just says they regret to inform me the...
  10. Applicants to Portland area schools 2011

    Haa! Sylvania is mildly ugly I suppose, however MY problems with it are the at times horrendous parking, going to that side of town in general, and sorry if this sounds harsh but the students! The classes I've taken there were typically (NOT all, bu...
  11. Applicants to Portland area schools 2011

    You obviously worked hard and earned it if you made it in! The process has only become more competitive by the years so you should be proud :) I too am hoping for a summer of working at my new job and no homework, however it looks like I will have to...

    Interesting, thanks for that. CCC's interview process was the most brutal for me, the staff seemed nice enough but during the interview itself it seemed very intimidating! Lots of blank stares while each person was speaking, constantly wondering what...

    I too am not a fan of Sylvania! As of now it's looking like I have my choice between PCC and MHCC, leaning toward MHCC, and still haven't heard from CCC although I highly, highly suspect I will be at the bottom of their alternate list as I went in to...
  14. Applicants to Portland area schools 2011

    Hope I'm not butting in but curious why some of you have ruled out MHCC? Is it the strike issues or something else? I have several friends who go or went there and have great things to say, and just wondering if any of you have heard to the contrary....
  15. Applicants to Portland area schools 2011

    I understand it's a difficult situation but look at it this way - at least you are going through this while you can still change your mind! Follow your gut and do what feels right for you. It is a great honor to be accept to OHSU but that doesn't mea...

    Has anyone who interviewed at CCC not received a letter yet? I live in Portland and my initial interview invite letter arrived the day after it was mailed. It is now Thursday, letters apparently have gone out and I've received nothing. Would it be in...
  17. Applicants to Portland area schools 2011

    It is my understanding the community college programs here are very well respected and known to be rigorous and really prepare you. It's also rumored that if you do your RN (ie do your full three years) at OHSU that is where you will get a job, so it...
  18. Applicants to Portland area schools 2011

    I know this post wasn't to me but thank you for the feedback! I too have taken pre-req's at PCC as well as worked at the college for years, and the thought of turning them down kills me! However I have heard great things about MHCC and everyone I've ...
  19. Applicants to Portland area schools 2011

    I definitely hope to hear some testimony from each of PCC, CCC and MHCC! Gotta check my mail when I get home from work today but so far it looks like I'm in for MHCC and not sure what I'll do if I end up having my choice. Anyone want to share good/ba...
  20. Hopefully posting this in the right forum - Any current students or friends of current students know what the story is with Portland area programs (MHCC in particular) requiring either an iPhone or Ipod touch? I need a new phone soon (mine is fallin...
  21. I totally think it's weird too! But my friend is a current student and says that's what was required so we'll see what happens this year. I am number 4 on the list, very excited about that because I went in with relatively few points but thought I in...
  22. Applicants to Portland area schools 2011

    My mail came early today so I didn't receive PCC or CCC letters either, probably tomorrow. I thought the CCC interview was the toughest!
  23. Applicants to Portland area schools 2011

    I'm new here but just wanted to let the MHCC alternates know that if you reply to the original alternate notification email, you will be given an actual alternate number. If I remember correctly there will be about 40-45 alternates and in the past th...
