Duke ABSN Fall 2011

U.S.A. North Carolina

Published

Hi all!

I know its early and the application isn't due until December 1st, but I was wondering if there was anyone else out there applying to the Duke ABSN program to start in August of 2011! I've already read through some of the previous semesters' threads and it seems like a great outlet for discussion/ questions/ nerves!

Let me know :)

Congratulations, Ocennia! I haven't heard a thing from Duke either - I kind of thought they might end up telling us before 4/5, but it's really starting to look like we might have to wait it out. A month and a half IS a LONG time to wait!!!

Definitely a very long time to wait!!

I went through the Duke thread from last year and people starting hearing back from Duke on 4/8. Let's hope they don't make us wait till then.

Does anyone know/have any input into the Duke vs UNC nursing programs? (no sports please....although I have Duke taking it all in my bracket at work and now want to switch it to UNC :D)

Hi! I asked her about a couple of questions. The first question I asked her was: For each person that declines in the first round, his or her acceptance will be given to someone in the second round right? For instance when April 1st comes, if 16 people from the first round decline, will 16 acceptances be sent to people in the second round?

the second question that I asked her: Do you think we will be notified on April 1st or April 5th? (or possibly before that).

Her response to the first question was: We are currently monitoring the responses. We will likely pull the exact number that decline and offer admission in the second round, but it is an administrative decision, so they could decide to pull more or less. .

Her response to the second question was: We are currently monitoring the responses. We will likely pull the exact number that decline and offer admission in the second round, but it is an administrative decision, so they could decide to pull more or less.

I hope that this helps everyone! I am anxious to know and I hope that we find out earlier than April 5th:eek:

is it April 5th yet? I swear, this has been THE LONGEST month and half of my life!

Good luck everyone, I hope we all get the news we want!

Hello Everyone! I just spoke to her. I wanted to keep all of my fellow second rounders updated.

I asked her two questions:

I asked her: "Is anything going to be sent out today? Will you all be able to send some acceptances out to second rounders?"

She said that "We won't be sending anything today, but we should have them out on Monday or Tuesday at the latest. Yes, we are definitely making offers to the second round."

This is good news because that means that some of us will be getting an acceptance. A couple of days until we find out:rolleyes:

Good luck to all of you, and remember that everything happens for a reason.

decision is up. i've been waitlisted :(

Yup I got waitlisted too- oh well I guess I'll just go to the better ranked school - go tar heels! :)

(of course I'm very disappointed but I will look on the bright side, I do have options and we can put our applications into the Spring semester so there's hope if this is where you want to go!)

Good luck everyone- I'm glad I had you all to share these experiences with!

did anyone from the second round get in? what time did the email arrive...i'm not a candidate (just an anxious mom)...the real candidate is in class this morning...pls give me a clue

i got waitlisted as well.. i'd be curious to know how many people that were second rounders actually got acceptances. do you know what they are looking for in terms of numbers for a final class size?

i have already sent a deposit into vanderbilt, and that has been my first choice from the beginning, so i'm not too upset. i was just hoping to have some more options when financial aid came into play.

I am waitlisted too. I am trying to figure out if they sent any acceptances out. I also thought that we were going to get the rankings today if we were waitlisted.
