ktcan10 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Hey, guys. Got a letter inviting me to interview! They indicated scheduling was still being completed, but sometime in late September or November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaaldana Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Awesome! Congratulations! Did you get the letter by snail mail or by e-mail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktcan10 Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 Awesome! Congratulations! Did you get the letter by snail mail or by e-mail? Thank you!! I'm very pleased - OHSU is one of my top choices, so I definitely did a happy dance over this one. :) Email: "The committee has now completed their review and are pleased to offer you an invitation to interview at OHSU. We are in the process of finalizing our interview dates scheduled for late-September and October, so we’ll be in touch with you by August 21st when the dates have been confirmed. In addition, at that time, you’ll be provided with interview day details, overnight accommodation options, and other information that will be helpful in preparing for your interview. You'll have several options for interview dates to select from, so hopefully one of the dates will work with your schedule. If not, we can always offer additional dates later in October or November.In the meantime, please let me know if you have any questions. Otherwise, I’ll provide you with interview date options and additional interview information by later this month." I submitted my CASPA prior to the first mailing, June 7th, and my app was complete (with supplemental) by the end of June. It took them about five weeks to review my application.

TazMan Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Congratulations! Just curious, how many hours of HCE do you have? Considered applying there but didn't have the 2000 hrs quite yet. Thanks and again, congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktcan10 Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 Thank you! I have about 18,000 hours of HCE...the power of working as an inner city EMT on a busy 24 hour shift. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscbigdawg Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Got the call today via email. Thoroughly confused on what to do now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktcan10 Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 @uscbigdawg...you got accepted at OHSU already, or you got the email to interview??? I got an email this morning to select my date to interview, and I'm just waiting on final confirmation. If you got accepted, I might start to hate you a little (j/k, you're my hero - I want to be like you when I grow up). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skittles456 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 For those of you who have already received an interview invite, when were your applications complete?
