Congrats nursingstudent96! I'm guessing you have a previous bachelors degree?

Nursingstudent96 · Mar 18, 2017

Yes - in Psychology from U of O.

I received an acceptance letter for the summer 2018 cohort, but declined because I got accepted to another school closer to home. This will free up one spot. Good luck everyone!

Congrats on getting into both schools! I'm sure someone will be happy to take up that spot you just freed up! I was waitlisted for the Fall cohort, I believe it was full due to incoming Linfield students so I will apply in June for the Spring 2018 cohort.

Hey everyone! I'm applying to U of P in the fall, for those of you who got an interview I was wondering what your healthcare experience is (was)/gpa was like?? I'm excited to apply but also a bit nervous! My science GPA right now is a 3.9 but my cumulative is like, 3.3 from doing a poor job in some classes about a decade ago haha. I currently work at the hospital as a CNA and plan on doing some hospice volunteering in the summer. Thanks!

Hey truvu76,

Did you ever call UP after your email?

I ended up getting waitlisted too and I've been very anxious to know anything at all. Did you get in ohsu or Chemeketa, I believe they've sent out letters already.

Hey Dalinam,

I actually didn't end up calling UP after my email because I got sidetracked with others things.

I got accepted into George Fox and PCC!

I understand how you are feeling, it is a really nerve-wracking process. I hope you end up getting into UP!!

Dalinam, I just got my letter yesterday and I am in! I called the admissions office earlier this week and they told me that they were sending out letter within the next week or two. So you should be getting yours soon. I hope you get some good news soon. trvu76, hopefully you will be getting a spot as well. You still got a chance! I hope to see you both next year.

Can you share a little bit about your prereq GPA, and work experience when you got accepted to Linfield?

Dalinam · May 11, 2017

Congrats obviously getting into two schools! I wish you the best. As for me, I guess I'll just have to be patient. Thanks!

Any one hear from UP about the waitlist for Spring 2018?

Dalinam · Jun 11, 2017

Nothing. I had emailed with them last month to ask when they would be taking people from the waitlist and the lady I spoke with said she would start sending emails and making calls around the 5th of June. I haven't heard anything or known anyone who has. I did find out through that email exchange that I was on the top 10 though.

orrn2017 · Jun 14, 2017

Emailed them the other day- they said they were going to 'take some students' from the waitlist. If you were picked you would get a phone call and email. That was last friday.
