UNC ABSN Spring 2012 Applicants?

U.S.A. North Carolina

Published

Just taking a chance to see if there are any other applicants to UNC's Spring 2012 ABSN. There hasn't been a lot of activity on here from UNC applicants, but since we have about a month left I thought we could all get together and be nervous together!

thanks mymykeeter - i was afraid to call, didn't want to annoy them :) so should I just ask to speak with the director, K**? I made a C in stats too. that's what I have been the most worried about. anyway, thanks for the advice and keeping my fingers crossed for all of us.

Cnoel, I would go ahead and call. At the very least you can find out what you can do to improve. The director seemed very open to providing advice. As far as asking what you are ranked, I would base it on how the conversation is going but just be cautious. A quick run down for how I approached the conversation, just in case you might be interested. I stared out by thanking her for her time and how I'm glad to still atleast have a chance. I then followed with my questions. First being my goal is to attend this program, what can I do to improve my chances/make myself a more competitive candidate? Then I finished up with how are people choosen from the waitlist etc. I hope this helps! Goodluck. I know the waiting game is not fun!! Keep me posted.

thanks so much for all the tips! I am definitely going to call to see how I can improve for next time. I wasn't so much thinking about asking for my ranking, as just making sure that I am doing all that I can do for this time or most likely, next time around :) anyway, thanks so much again!

I was just accepted off the WL- classes start Monday. It's all a blur! Just wanted to let the hopefuls know to keep up hope and always keep trying. Took me two application cycles but I'm glad it all worked out and I didn't give up. Go Heels!
