Duke ABSN - Spring 2013!

[nickioness]

Alright! Since there are threads for the other entry times and we're coming up on almost 1 month until the May 1st deadline for the Spring 2013 start, who else is applying?

I have a BA Degree in German from ECU, but my work background is in the Hospitality Industry. I'm interested in getting the BSN, so I can eventually become a Certified Diabetes Educator. While it sounds like a crazy mix, I've also been Type 1 Diabetic since 1997, so it's not totally random. I really like helping people and building relationships in order to help them more, but I'd like to do more than slice their organic deli meat. :)

So what about the rest of you?

Thats what I thought as well--- now i'm not really sure. There is not much turn around time for us flying in from outside the state! I agree, if I do not get in that is ok but I would definitely like to know now!

Has anyone heard about invitations to Duke days yet? I haven't and thought we would hear something this week.

Hey everyone, I couldn't stand the waiting anymore, emailed Duke SoN admissions and they told me this morning that the selection committee won't get the applications to review until Friday so it will be 1-2 weeks before anyone is contacted, depends on how quickly they make decisions. So, the waiting continues. blech!

Thanks for sharing the info. I wonder if they are going to change the dates for Duke Days - at least for the June 22nd day - that's only 2 weeks from tomorrow.

Anyone applying to UNC for Spring 2013? I just saw that the application is now available.

It sounds like the July 17th and July 20th days are still set... but im not sure what they would do about the 22nd of June? I can't imagine them giving people a week to get out there, but maybe? At least we know they are getting the applications on Friday... fingers crossed for everyone. I am so nervous!

Hey Everybody - Has anybody heard anything about interviews yet or when we might hear something?

[moggsy]

My friend who applied is going nuts... here's to hoping you guys hear this week! Can't believe the wait has been so long! I think they are doing some office reorganization of roles, etc, so that might explain it.

I too was going crazy, and ended up giving in and calling over to the admissions office. The lady who answered was really nice and told me that decisions *SHOULD* be going out this week. Duke Days are scheduled for July 13, 16 and 20.

Fingers are crossed for everyone. Please post when you hear something!

Hi Everyone! My interview invite just appeared in my inbox. Just wanted to confirm that the dates are July 13, 16, and 20 (as previously posted) and you can choose which date works best for you, but it's first come first served.
