jpuetz Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Doreen, or those who have interviewed or applied to OHSU, what are your ages? I want to reapply to OHSU but I also dont want to waste the money if I dont have a chance due to age. I noticed that their average age is 28 with like 2.75-3 years of experience....I am only 23 and will be 24 by the time I apply. Anyone think this is worth it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeve Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Really excited for this application cycle! First time applying to OHSU but this is in my top 3 schools. Good luck to everyone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PATBD Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Hey everyone! Replicant here. Landed an interview but no acceptance. FYI, Julie stated it’s 30 seats again this year, instead of 42. Best of luck everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HM2FMFPMT Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Hi Friends, I hope all and loved ones are well, safe, and healthy. I am applying to OHSU this week! I'm so S-T-O-K-E-D!!!! Still waiting on CASPA Verification. First time applying to any PA Program, I've been waiting for this moment for almost twenty years. Good luck to all. Very Respectfully, Ryan C.

HM2FMFPMT Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 @jpuetz, I have waited almost twenty years to apply to PA Programs. Yes, there is A LOT of preparation and money spending before applying, but just because the reported average age of previous classes does not specifically align with your own, does NOT mean you are not a competitive applicant. I am 42 years old, will be 43 when entering a PA Program (if I get into one). Fear and second guessing yourself are LIARS; so, wipe the tears from your face, suppress the fear and second guessing, and hit that "SUBMIT" button!!!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that's what they told us in the information session! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDalpias Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Hello All! I submitted CASPA yesterday, and was verified this morning (5/28). I'm a non-traditional, first time OHSU applicant. Similar to @RyWanaBPA I'm older and will be entering a 2nd career with PA. Very excited to (hopefully) move forward with OHSU! Good luck all! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, I’m 30, 29 when I applied last year, so I guess closer to that average but I genuinely don’t think it matters. In the interview process I met people within a very wide range. I think the experience may just matter more(amount and type) so I still say give it a shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firstgenPA Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Hi everyone, I am in the process of applying to OHSU but I was wondering if anyone could help explain the activity/event participation portion of the supplemental application. Does this include informational events? if so do we just say yes/no or do we write an essay? I'm a little confused... *I will send an email on Monday but since its the weekend I thought I try asking everyone on the forum.* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliac Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Hello Everyone! Best of luck this cycle! I too am applying to OHSU. CASPA application was verified on 5/24. I received an email from OHSU on the same date confirming that the application is complete and moving forward in the review process. Fingers crossed for everyone!

AlliBess Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Hi Everyone! Don't know if this will be helpful to anyone, but first time, out-of-state applicant here: Applied 5/3 (give or take a day or two) Received confirmation from OHSU that the verified application was received and sent to the admissions committee 5/6 Received rejection letter 6/1 Pretty quick turn-around time. Unfortunate, but not letting it get me down. Good luck to all!! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I received an email from OHSU on 5/24 stating my application is moving forward in the review process. I guess I could hear anytime now! Thanks for sharing this. I hope you find success with another program. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliac Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Received a rejection email today. Going to share my stats as information for the group: Overall GPA: 3.77 Science GPA: 4.0 Patient Care Experience: 22,000 hours Volunteer: 400+ Hours Shadowing: 60 hours in person, 40 Virtual LOR's: 1 from a MD, 2 from PA's, 1 from a science professor and 1 from a former supervisor. OHSU was one of my top schools so this comes as a disappointment. Fortunately, I have interviews scheduled with 4 other programs so far. Good luck to everyone! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDalpias Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I also received a rejection today. OHSU was in my top 5, so it stings. Hoping for another school this year, but will 100% reapply if I don’t get in. Stats: GPA: 3.1 sGPA: 3.3 PCE: 13 years as an athletic trainer volunteer: around 100 LOR: MD, PAC, PT (supervisor), chem professor. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shmada Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Does anyone know if interviews will be virtual or in-person this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ssrineedanap Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I just submitted my application (7/9). I was apprehensive because I feel like I am not a competitive applicant, but I would love to move my little family to Oregon and have a fresh start on my life. So I figured why not shoot my shot? Good luck everyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
