   Good morning, ladies ( and gentlemen if you're out there.) Congratulations to everyone that was accepted! I woke up to good news this morning as well. To those of you in the second round, I feel for you. More waiting = no fun. I'll be thinking of you...

   Thanks for putting this in perspective, Norma. I really needed the pep talk this morning. You're absolutely right, things will be fine either way. :) I'm sending you all calm thoughts and best wishes from the west coast. I'm glad that I'm three hour...

   I'm with you, evaamber, the sooner the better. I've already prepped my boyfriend if its bad news, he is to bring home chocolate, wine, sushi (I know, weird comfort food), flowers and a romantic comedy.

   Here's my take on the Master path: I think Duke's set-up is ideal (for me at least). You can start the ABSN degree and decide once you get some experience A. if you want to go on to the masters B. What your specialty will be. Initially I was only loo...

   One more question, how does the waiting list work? Does it carry over to the spring semester?

   Thanks for posting that info. Gives me butterflies just thinking about how competitive admissions are this semester. I'm bringing my sister to my interview this Friday. Did any of you that interviewed last week bring someone with you? I'm just wonde...

    Good luck to everyone who interviews tomorrow. I interview next week and am trying to prepare myself. How is everyone else preparing? I've been going over possible questions and reviewing my personal statement. I'm not sure what else to do. Any ideas...

    Thanks ocennia! So if I'm not applying for the other 3 scholarships (I don't qualify for them, unfortunately) they don't have anything to use to determine my need-based scholarship? I'm not sure of the official date for FAFSA, but I've heard the soo...

    Thanks for the info. Norma. It motivated me to complete my FAFSA this afternoon. I'm still working on the other Duke scholarships. However, I think I'm only eligible for 1 of them. So I think I'm going crazy, the first time I looked at the Duke need ...
