Congratulations, smallfry2!! It's pretty nerve-wracking being on the waitlist at this point of the notifications... but oh man, does it feel great to get the call! Congrats again and enjoy Linfield!

Thanks portland_medic. I look forward to meeting you and the others in the fall!

Thanks, yay. You as well!

I'm very excited! I had just decided to accept that I didn't get in and move on. The giggling and hooting you guys hear from just north of the Columbia River is me - pay no mind.

It appears that OHSU is making their second round on filling spots for the Portland program. I just got the call. I look forward to meeting those of you on the Portland campus in fall. :)

Congratulations, Buttercup!!

Congratulations, portland medic! How long ago did you get the call?

Congratulations, nursesarak!

I wouldn't give up a sure spot for a potential spot. It may be more difficult for the school to fill late openings, but it's how the system is set up. You have to do what's right for you.

Time to settle in and enjoy the wait. Thanks for the info!

I would suspect a little bit after the 25th to allow for postmark dates. They may also make phone calls to people who don't reply by the deadline just to make sure. That would still put notifications around the first of June, so I'll start getting antsy around then. That said, it seems like there was a longer delay for the accelerated program between the original notification and the first day of phone calls. I hope we don't have to wait much into June, but ya never know.

For those of you who were accepted, how many of you are taking out loans for this program? I assume that most students did not get the Prov Scholarship and are looking for their own funding. Is the cost a concern for you? How much (estimate) do you plan to cover through private loans? If you've already secured your loans, how difficult was it to get such a large amount? Thanks

Okay, so, I'm just going to put this out there... Don't think less of me for it... Here it is... Yayforscience, That is a ridiculously cool screen name. :) Congrats on getting in to your program!

It's great to see a lot of you have been accepted into programs! After all the work of pre-requisites and applying, a lot of the questions are finally being answered. Congratulations to runnergirl09, osuchris, lilpoka, nwnursing, rcj2009, niskagirl, portland medic, gabrianam and skills21! (did I miss anybody?) Congrats to all the others on getting on the waitlist. Fingers crossed for you!

Hi she-ra919, Thanks for posting and congratulations! Good luck in the program!
