Duke ABSN 2012

U.S.A. North Carolina

Published

Hey everyone!

I was wondering if there was anyone out there applying to Duke's ABSN program for the spring or fall class in 2012. I'm going to apply, but can't decide if I should apply for the spring or the fall. If I apply for the Spring class- I will still have 3 prereqs to finish (micro, soc, and stat) which I can finish before the program starts. Is it crazy to apply to Duke with 3 outstanding prereqs? Should I wait until December and apply for Fall 2012 instead? At that time I will be currently taking the last of the prereqs. Any advice would be helpful! Especially if there's anyone who has gotten into Duke with 3 prereqs to go...

If this calendar is correct orientation starts January 9 and the semester begins January 11.

Has anyone heard anything about interviews yet? I just submitted my application yesterday and am waiting for my transcripts to get to Duke for it to be complete. Does anyone know when they notify you about interviews? Is it mid-late July?

Based on last year's threads, people were notified starting at the end of June. In short, I think very soon for those who've already submitted their applications.

I believe that they changed their process in the Fall where no one was notified ahead of the application deadline and everyone was notified about 2-3 weeks after the deadline. Assuming that they don't change things again (and considering the number of apps they had in the fall, I would expect that they don't), we should be notified mid-July.

hey yall..

i am applying for the Jan 2012 cohort. I'm still waiting to hear back from a job that I interviewed for at Duke Hospital last week so I can put it on my Resume before submitting my application. I went to UNC for my undergrad with a BA in Public Policy...my GPA was a 3.38, not too strong. I got a 1280 on the GRE, and an A in all the pre-reqs but a B in stat. I still haven't taken soc101 but plan on taking it this fall. I'm a CNA and have a little bit of experience, and mostly wrote about my personal background and what has driven me to become a nurse in my personal statement -- it's pretty long, but hopefully that won't be too annoying for them to read! I really want to get in, it's my dream to be a nurse and Duke is the ideal place to go for me. I hope we all get in!!! I don't think we will hear anything about an interview until 2-3 weeks after the deadline. I'm getting so nervous about cutting it so close to the deadline to submit it, but if I get this job I think it will help me a lot.

Hi everyone! I have just submitted my application for Spring 2012 - I noticed that someone said their application says "complete". Mine just says "submitted" unless I am looking at the wrong place....where should i look?

thanks!

Are all of your references in? Your transcript? Below the status it will break down all of the individual components such as GRE, transcript, references. I don't think your status will change to "complete" until all that info is in.

Hey guys, I'm not applying to Duke anymore:( I bombed the GRE:(

Good luck to you all!!!

All of my references have been submitted and they have my transcripts (I called to double check), but I did not take the GRE (it was waived due to GPA)...maybe that's why it doesn't say complete? I will have to call to double check - the deadline is this friday!!!

Hey All! I'm applying to the Spring 2012 cohort as well. I just finished a visit to Duke and Durham and it was fabulous. As far as the interviews, they will be held on Duke Days scheduled for July 29, Aug 1 and Aug 5th. First round decisions should be out by mid-August!

For those of you who have not been inside, the nursing school is pretty amazing. Very new (5yrs), comfortable lecture theatres and technologically advanced. The simulation lab is amazing and there is another lab room more for physical assessments, etc. The atrium area for students to 'hang out' is gorgeous and there is also a little cafe in the building.

Good Luck to everyone applying!

Hi everyone! I applied for Spring also!! Thanks for letting us know when Duke days are. They seem really late, I was under the impression they were going to be mid-july, not end of! Did admissions give any hint on how many people have applied already? I'm hoping it's not like Fall 2011 where there was over 400 applicants!:rolleyes:

Got the job and finally submitted my application! Best of luck to everyone!
