DUKE ABSN Fall 2012

Published

Hi all!

Just wanted to start a thread for the people applying to duke for the fall of 2012. I am super excited/nervous to be filling out the application! I know that there are others out there feeling the same way. If anybody is willing to comment I would love to hear from some people who have applied, accepted or denied, or applying right now, or even going to apply in the future. :)

cool thanks. yeah i figure that some people dont have facebook and others are waiting on other schools but since im a second rounder i hope not many more confirm before then.

You guys are the best. :)

I think it's actually 17 members b/c two of the 19 people work for Duke (they're listed as admins). Not that I'm counting or keeping track of it at all... ;) I will keel over if it hits some super high number (like 60+) by April 2nd!

I imagine it'll probably be clearer after (or "if"????) people get financial aid offers

LOL poodle, my email just binged and I just got on... I'm so weak. ;) Are you happy with your fin aid package? That was pretty speedy!

Nothing here yet....! Refreshing email obsessively!

@poodle5: Duke was my first choice, but I was waiting to see if I got a big happy surprise from my other school (Yale). Got very little from Yale and so accepted at Duke. I liked Duke better, and figured I wasn't going to do any worse financially even if I got zilch there.

added: oh wait....poodle, financial aid info is sent by email or regular mail? why am I suddenly unable to remember this important detail?

I got it via email, the financial aid was about what I expected. Although there is a little (6,700) need-based scholarship, and then other than that, its various forms of loans. Not to say I am complaining about any scholarship...I'll take it happily and gratefully. I would accept Duke in a heartbeat, if I knew how things would pan out with my husbands law school transfer, in fact its increasingly likely that I am going to have to lay down the $500 either way, because I won't know until later in the summer.
