Duke ABSN Fall 2011

Published

Hi all!

I know its early and the application isn't due until December 1st, but I was wondering if there was anyone else out there applying to the Duke ABSN program to start in August of 2011! I've already read through some of the previous semesters' threads and it seems like a great outlet for discussion/ questions/ nerves!

Let me know :)

I'm out of state also, grew up in NY but have been living in San Francisco for the past 3 years. I can't believe interviews start next week.

Good luck to everyone who has their interviews this week!!

I have mine next Friday and just booked a hotel- this is really happening!

Did anyone else apply to UNC Chapel Hill?

What do you think of the UNC versus Duke argument?

Wishing good fortune to all who are interviewing this week. My interview is in February now. Anyone else in February?

Off to studying now, and then to work...Can't believe interview time is already upon us.

Thanks for the good vibes. :) They are much appreciated! I fly out tomorrow, and I'll be staying at the Millennium, if anyone wants to chat. I'll have my handy dandy internet phone, so I can respond to emails and messages. I am so excited!

Good luck to everyone who interviews tomorrow. I interview next week and am trying to prepare myself. How is everyone else preparing? I've been going over possible questions and reviewing my personal statement. I'm not sure what else to do. Any ideas?

Hi all. Well hold on to your hats because it is super competitive this year. Acceptances will be first round and second round of and first round is only 80 yes' from 164 interviews and second round is based on how many students accept. Everyone was so nice and the facility was so amazing and now I want to go more than ever. Interview was basic stuff but I totally fumbled. I got assigned to the last interview of the day and I was just really tired and nervous by then. Ugh. Well now off for some real southern BBQ!

so they said there were 420 applicants, 350 that met minimum criteria, 163 interviewed, and they're aiming for a class size of 72. They plan to extend first round offers to 80-85 people and will make those decisions by feb 14 and notify that week via email that tells you to check the application site with your login. First round people will have until April 1 to make a decision, then second round will get notified. After second round start responding, then it's just person by person on the waitlist until they get their 72.

Yes, interview is basic - 2 15 minute 1:1 sessions. Very fast and no tricky questions. As expected for a 15 minute interview :) Good luck all! they do a great job selling the program.
