I have also applied and heard they received my CASPA application. So next is sending to the review committee. Don't be surprised if you do not hear anything until September. Good luck!

I called them about something else and the woman on the phone told me that there was no advantage to submitting my supplemental application before the deadline; that it was better to wait and include my summer grades on the supplemental, so it sounds like they don't look at much until Sept.

I'm another applicant:) Anybody know for sure when they start the interviews? I'm guessing either Oct. or Nov.

Last year, there were three interview dates, one each in October, November, and December.

That's what I was told for this year, too. We can expect to start hearing after Sept 15th. Not too much longer! :)

I received an email this morning inviting me to interview on October 22. I submitted my CASPA on August 8. I'm so excited!!!! I look forward to meeting the other candidates at the interview :)

I will also be joining the interview date on October 22nd. See you then!

 

I just received my email and if Pedra received hers several hours ago, well, it's prob gonna take a bit for everyone to hear. Good luck!!

Yes, I am flying in on Friday morning. Would you recommend renting a car or is public transit sufficient? I've never been to Portland and I have no idea where to stay. I know the recommendatons from the school suggest staying in Hillsboro but I have a friend who works for a hotel chain who can get me a deal at a hotel in Portland. How is traffic on a Saturday commute from Portland to Hillsboro? Any info would be great. Thanks Pedra!

There is a great light rail train that goes from downtown to one block away from the building where the interviews will be. If you can get a deal on a hotel, I would definitely stay in Portland and it will be easy to get from downtown to the school. Also, the train goes from the airport to downtown. If you want to save money and not rent a car, it's super easy to get around without a car. The cost of the train is around $1.35 or so, so definitely more affordable than a car rental! The website for public transportation is www.trimet.org. You can type in when you want to arrive at a specific address and it will tell you what train to take and what time to leave. Plus then you don't have to worry about getting lost while driving. If you have any other questions let me know!

I also have an interview on the 22nd and my flight will arrive around 6 from Salt Lake City. I'm not sure if I will rent a car or take the public transport in a city I have never been in. Does anyone have any suggestions?

As I mentioned above, Portland has a great public transportation system. You can get from the airport to downtown via light rail train, and this train also goes right out to the campus where the interviews will be held (the stop is one block from the school). If you want to save money and not rent a car, this is the place to do it! Check out www.trimet.org. Let me know if you have any other questions!
