Madison. Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Hi! Who is applying to any Oregon schools? Has anyone heard anything? I hate this waiting game!
scisl006 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 I was told by a PSU faculty member that they were hoping to get offers out around their spring break which starts March 23rd. I would guess they would want to get them out before so they don't have to deal with that over break. I was told CSDCAS had not verified some people academic update which was a major part of the delay.Thanks CSDCAS, good think you charged us $100
Atigun Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Got my acceptance letter from U of O last Thursday (3/5).
ett329 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 I got accepted to Pacific yesterday via phone but I haven't heard from Portland State or U of O yet
limegin Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 I'm also curious about U of O. I haven't seen anything on the results page so I assumed notifications would go out this week. Congrats on your acceptance!
Madison. Posted March 11, 2015 Author Posted March 11, 2015 Got my acceptance letter from U of O last Thursday (3/5). Congratulations!!!! That's wonderful news.
Madison. Posted March 11, 2015 Author Posted March 11, 2015 Congratulations!!!! That's wonderful news. And yes, how did they contact you?! Is Oregon one of you 1st choices?
Madison. Posted March 11, 2015 Author Posted March 11, 2015 The UO just told me they will send out info in the beginning of spring break! Here is hoping! Good Luck everyone! If you get into an Oregon school, post here and let us Oregon folks know!!!!
Atigun Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Thanks. :-) I was notified by email the last week of February from the program's director, and received the formal acceptance letter March 5th. I'm sure it's program by program.
Atigun Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 I forgot to mention that on U of O's GradWeb page it still says pending, so I have no idea if they update that or not.
scisl006 Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Grrr. I called Portland State and they said they are hoping to get letters sent out by the end of the month... I'm worried that having to wait for their response might impact me because I have to mail in my acceptance of admission if I choose to go to UNM (rather than email) and that only gives me 2 weeks before the deadline and I would be sooo mad if something happened with mail getting lost or something and I ended up missing my chance.... I want to accept my admission at UNM now but my fiance is very set on waiting to hear from PSU first :-/
katpdx Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 I was waitlisted at Pacific and I don't think there will be any movement until Portland State sends out notification (I know at least 6 people at PSU who were accepted into Pacific's 35 person cohort and also applied at Portland State). I'm a postbac at PSU and one of the professors on the committee said there were 700 applications this year. So that could be the reason for delay. That's alotta people, yo.
scisl006 Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 That is crazy about PSU. Any idea why they have soooo many people applying? I have basically ruled out any chance of getting accepted and have other great offers but I still just kinda wanna know.
scisl006 Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Anyone have any idea how likely funding is for students accepted to PSU? I didn't see much info on the website.
Holly44 Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 They're HOPING to get them out by the end of the month?! I love how students have to get them in by a certain date and schools don't even begin looking at them for months! No biggie, not like we're all waiting around for a huge life-changing decision...

So true! I hope I don't have to do this all over again next year.
sudsnbubbles Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 I was waitlisted at Pacific and I don't think there will be any movement until Portland State sends out notification (I know at least 6 people at PSU who were accepted into Pacific's 35 person cohort and also applied at Portland State). I'm a postbac at PSU and one of the professors on the committee said there were 700 applications this year. So that could be the reason for delay. That's alotta people, yo. PSU is my first choice. Knowing that there were 700 applications makes me very nervous. :/ I guess only time will tell.
katpdx Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 I don't mean to add any nervousness - sorry! I understand there were between 4-500 applicants to Pacific this year. Oregon is a popular spot, it turns out . As for funding, I don't know/haven't heard anything about funding, and I hear a lot of things...
Madison. Posted March 13, 2015 Author Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) Yea, I don't think 700+ people is unusual for high for a university in Oregon. But that doesn't mean there are 700+ qualified applicants. Edited March 13, 2015 by Bets.
Holly44 Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Yea, I don't think 700+ people is unusual for high for a university in Oregon. But that doesn't mean there are 700+ qualified applicants. Normally I'd agree with you, but it is more than double than they received last year so it still seems unusual to me. Although it could just be a sign of how competitive the field is getting every year.
Madison. Posted March 14, 2015 Author Posted March 14, 2015 Oh wow! Double is a lot. I think I remember hearing that 700+ was the number of people who applied for the UO last year. Of course, that was a year ago, so I could be wrong. 4-500 applicants is a lot! Holy smokes!
Holly44 Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Well I was referring to Portland State having double the amount. According to EdFind, UO only received 142 applications last year, but that seems super low to me so who knows? I don't even know if the stats on there are accurate. lol
Madison. Posted March 15, 2015 Author Posted March 15, 2015 Oh, wow. Such a big difference! I am off to google EdFind! Thanks. Somewhat reinsuring!!!! Thanks
