DUKE ABSN Fall 2012

U.S.A. North Carolina

Published

Hi all!

Just wanted to start a thread for the people applying to duke for the fall of 2012. I am super excited/nervous to be filling out the application! I know that there are others out there feeling the same way. If anybody is willing to comment I would love to hear from some people who have applied, accepted or denied, or applying right now, or even going to apply in the future. :)

Specializes in Cardiothoracic Surgery.

@moggsy thank you! it is a relief HOWEVER Duke is still my first choice. I'm still hoping to hear some good news come April 9th...but it's getting difficult to wait! I think they are both great programs and I would be happy to go to either but my heart just keeps telling me Duke is the place for me if I'm lucky enough to get in! :rolleyes: AND we are on the exact same page, I secretly keep hoping everyone chooses their "other" schools...except you guys are all great! They should let us all in!

@poodle I found out through email, the exact same way Duke notified us. Got an email with a link to my online application and the decision was posted there.

Even though it's 30 we can still stay positive! Sometimes people pay the deposit fee and register just to make sure they have a seat, even if they are waiting for a reply from another school!

good news...got into florida. I didn't receive my packet yet, but I went in and talked to the admissions director...because he called and said they were missing my GRE scores...What??? they are asking my this now?!? anyway, turns out they were under my maiden name! So i asked him he said I am in conditionally upon passing my last three pre-reqs this semester (which of course I will do), so thats good news, I am going to wait a few days to official say no to Duke, because Florida seems to be seriously unorganized and I want to wait and get some official notice, but YAY STILL GOOD NEWS !

also on a side note... for the second rounders. I emailed Melissa telling her I was not sure yet ( earlier this week before I knew about UF) and she said yes. she knows it is hard, but that they need to be considerate to the second rounders as well....so if nothing else they are thinking about you :heartbeat

I also think I will be going to another school. I'm not completely sure yet - wanted to wait until at least end of May before I officially told them no but I also want to be considerate for those who are still desiring to be accepted to the program. I'll definitely let them know ASAP what I plan to do.
