Wait List
Because of our commitment to maintain a student body that looks like Portland, the next student admitted from the wait list can depend on the demographics of the overall class and/or the person deciding to leave. This means that, in certain circumstances, students with higher numbers on the wait list may still be admitted before students with lower numbers. A student’s wait list number will change over time and can only improve. If a spot opens up, we will notify you as soon as possible. If you would like an update on your position, feel free to contact us (874-8160) at any time.
