I am definitely planning on applying.

Graduated from NCSU in 2012 with a 3.94. Joined Americorps Teach for America. Taught in Houston, Texas and Oxford, NC. Then I worked as a litigation assistant at a law firm in Indiana for a year. I then moved back to NC, got my NA1 Registry and currently am finishing my prerequisites and volunteer at a local hospital on the PEDS unit. My biological sciences GPA is a 4.0.

Hey there!

I am also planning to apply to the 2016 program at UNC Chapel Hill :)

I have a 3.7 undergrad GPA (bachelor degree in marketing) and a 3.6 GPA in my prereqs. I have some great references but am nervous because I don't have a CNA nor a lot of volunteer hours.

Does anyone know when the application opens?

Good luck!! :)

Hi there, i'm looking to apply this fall as well. The application is supposed to open in June but they don't specify what day. I just looked and the application page from last year was just taken down so they are probably updating it now.

Hey there everyone!! I am a re-applicant. I applied for the 2 year program, this past May 2015 cohort, was wait-listed and then denied :unsure: . Obviously, the deadline for the ABSN 2016 is today and so I thought I'd start the convo as we anticipate the wait! Here's to us! Our part is done and the rest is up to the admissions committee! We got this! :sneaky: :)

I'm also a second time applicant, fingers crossed for 2nd time's the charm :)!

Yea I remember you from the last thread, stategrl! I thought you got into the Duke ABSN, or am I confusing you with someone else?

stategrl · Aug 14, 2015

Good memory! I did get into Duke but the financial aspect didn't work out like i'd hoped. UNC is a more reasonable option for me :)

Salsera · Aug 15, 2015

Yea I imagine! I didn't even apply to Duke and Duke and UNC are pretty much my only options. So only applied to UNC this time. Did you apply anywhere else?

stategrl · Aug 17, 2015

Nope just UNC so fingers crossed!

I was reading over the frequently asked questions and read this "We typically receive 200-300 applications for the 4-term ABSN option eachyear and admit 64 students to that option each spring". This isn't new information, but is still unnerving to me! :nailbiting:

I feel okay and then I read stuff like this ugh
