    Penny_Cillin replied to efda2rn's topic in Oregon

    I'm applying this year, as well. Super stressful, but fingers crossed! I'm sort of hoping for Linfield, as I doubt that I will make the points cut off for MHCC or PCC....3.6 GPA, all prereqs complete, prior degree (Associate), 6,000+ hours as a natio...
