Hey everyone! I submitted my application to Duke University's ABSN program for fall 2013 a few weeks ago, so I wanted to get some conversation started! Is anyone else applying?!

Seriously I wish this process could be more standardized.

I haven't heard anything. Annie, were you accepted to the University of Washington? Congrats! Ranked #1!

Me too. It's pretty frustrating that different schools have different prerequisites, different deadlines, different notification dates!

It's especially frustrating because of the whole deposit thing! It stresses me out! Who knows though, I may not even be lucky enough to get in to more than 1 program so I may not need to worry about that! I just have a really hard time thinking about turning down a school when I haven't heard from all of them yet, if that makes sense. Especially because every school I'm applying to is competitive in some shape or form! Most of them have 20-30% acceptance rates.
However, we will hear from Duke about interviews in 11 days. That's not too far off! We can do it!
You guys, 9 more days! I'm so nervous! Ahhh!
Me, too! I'm going nuts!!!
5 more days!!

4 more days...

Does anyone know if Duke offers any merit scholarships for the ABSN? I've looked at the scholarships online and it looks like there are a couple need-based and scholarships for minorities but I didn't see anything other than the scholars program (not too sure what that program is either!)
No kelsey, I don't think there are any merit scholarships. There is a loan repayment option if you work for Duke Hospital for 3 years though!!!
Kelsey, they do offer 100% tuition + room and board to one student for each nursing program: http://nursing.duke.edu/financial-aid/financial-aid-and-loans/duson-scholarships. Perhaps you saw that one. But, wow, wouldn't that be nice!
