   tazluff replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina

   Hey. I'm here. I just started a new position at work which has been keeping me busy. Unfortunately, I didn't get accepted. I think I am the only one in this forum that didn't get accepted or waitlisted. I called to find out why and based on the note...

   I asked our favorite person and she said that the committee is meeting on Feb 12th so we probably won't here anything until the week after. ugh!!! I know this is not what everyone was wanting to hear but atleast you know not to be panicking next week...

   Did they secretly take pictures of us on the 29th? That would totally suck since i hate pictures anyways, esp. ones i don't know about - haha!!!

   I didn't either. Did they forget? Hopefully we made a good enough impression that they can remember us without our pics.

   I would probably say before the long weekend. Feb 5 is the last day of interviews so i would think they would get together the following Monday and Tuesday. If that's the case, I would think we should know something Wednesday or Thursday, def. by Fri...

   Part of it could be the fact that the companies (and I am assuming schools are included) are charged 3% of the amount charged for Visa and Master Card charges, American Express is more (I think it's like 4.5%) and I am not sure about Discover. This m...

   Hey. Just got back to the house. Others were finishing up their interviews esp. if they were in "Group D". They canceled the campus tour - I think it had alot to do with the cold weather. We did get to the see the CND which was pretty cool. Hope ever...

   Depending on the weather, some people may not be able to go out unless they are staying at the Millineum and can walk. They are calling for 11 inches in Raleigh: http://www.wral.com/weather/story/6902225/ I'll believe it when i see it! :-)

   I'm wearing a suit only because i really don't have anything else dressy enough and would probably never weat is again so why waste the money on a one-time outfit. I wear jeans and a t-shirt everyday for work (if not shorts or sweats) so I don't have...

    The ones that looked at our files to determine if we were invited for interviews were done by the admissions staff, not the faculty members doing the interviews. All the admissions staff looked at initially was to make sure we meet the minimum requir...

    I just spoke with our favorite person and she said they are getting ready to send out the confirmations and a "packet" via email. It basically will tell a little more information regarding Duke Days, what to expect, what to wear, where to go (maps, d...

    I got the email but I originally looked at it on my phone so I ignored the attachment until i saw your post. That is funny. I know it's a mistake but I am glad that it happened. 70 slots out of 132 interviewees. Not bad odds!

    If you look at each MSN program, you can see which courses are required for each and if it's one that you have already taken, then it would count. So for CRNA, N308 (Applied Statistics), N307 (Research Methods) and N312 (Research Utilization - if you...

    Oh no, you didn't offend me one bit. :) Sorry if it came across as me being offended. That's part of the problem with forums/emails/etc - it's difficult to tell at times.

    I have applied to UNC BSN (24 months) and Duke ABSN (16 months). Probably the 3 main things i will be considering if I get accepted to both are: 1. cost 2. length of program 3. courses offered In my case, with UNC starting in May and going for 24 mon...
