Applying to Duke ABSN Spring 2017

U.S.A. North Carolina

Published

Hi guys! I'm applying to Duke ABSN program for the spring 2017 cohort! I'm graduating in May and my school has really bad GPA inflation so my grades are really borderline... :(

But it's a good school though. Does anyone know if Duke put any weight on how prestigious your undergrad school is? And my transcript will be updated after May (and my GPA will be higher) but the deadline is May 1st. Does anyone know if they take late transcript? Or can we update them with our grades?

I'm also working on getting LOR's, one from a professor, one from a nurse that I worked with, one from a student instructor.

Any tips?!

And since there hasn't been a Spring 2017 cohort discussion, I thought I should go ahead and start it, so we can be nervous together.

Anyone know when decisions will go out? I'm super anxious! Lol!

@Knatori No I didn't! :( But it's okay, maybe it's just not meant to be! Did you get into other schools or just waiting for Duke? And yea I visited SMU a couple times for their nursing program. It is a great program but it does have too many prereqs haha!

@kathywasabi I wasn't accepted to NYU either but to be honest I would've hated living in NYC. I was wait listed for Duke and I've already applied for SMU, waiting for their decision. I have already taken most of the pre-reqs for SMU such as pharmacology and pathophysio.
