mivsy, I got into Columbia and am waiting to hear from OHSU. I applied for the ABSN-FNP program and just interviewed last week. I'd love to hear what you've come up with in your comparison of the OHSU and Columbia programs.

Thanks, lexi1822. That's really helpful. I applied to the FNP program and assume the answers would be the same. I think I'm Columbia bound, as well!

I also got the "counseling and recommendations" email. I emailed asking for clarification since the intention of the email was pretty vague, but haven't heard back. Can anyone here shed some light on it? Is there still a chance of being waitlisted or has that shipped sailed?

I did my interview remotely. Sorry I missed meeting you! In case anyone in the future is looking for information on interviews, here was my experience: Three interviewers, five questions, some with two parts. I don't remember the exact questions, but they were pretty standard. For example: How would you deal with a patient who has a different opinion or point of view from your own; how would you deal with a preceptor who is difficult to work with; describe a frustrating situation at work and how you handled it; what's your understanding of the profession/speciality; how will you manage working independently after graduation; how will you manage the intensity of the program. After they asked their questions, I was given the opportunity to ask mine. There wasn't a lot of chit chat; it was all business. Towards the end they all seemed to have warmed up a bit and it felt like more of a conversation. We were finished after about 40-45 minutes.

Hi modaproximate, I also applied for the AccBac-FNP program. I have scoured the web looking for tips on what to expect during the interview, but no such luck. I also emailed Admissions to ask and never got a reply. I have no idea who will be interviewing us, how long the interviews will take, whether there will be a proctored essay, etc. Have you found any information?
