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. :)

It's just beyond awesome that most of you who came to know each other through Allnurses.com will get to be classmates. I believe of the group left only ABSN and mellzie are waiting for a definite response?

For those who have heard today, is it a definite certainty you'll be attending? Congrats again, everyone. Goes to show your waiting was not in vain.

I'm hoping you pull through ABSN. I'm more than certain you will!

Thanks everyone, your well wishes make me feel better! More waiting for me, but at least it wont be that long (hopefully).

Congrats to everyone! :yeah:And ABSN I am rooting for you! Must be somewhat helpful to know that you are #2 on the list; just know there are plenty of people that may have chosen to go elsewhere or have another top school! I am almost certain you will get in!

@2b Yes I am definitely attending, already accepted the offer and put my check in the mail!

Dear ABSNhopeful,

I'm new to the site, but I just wanted to give you a little piece of mind. I was a second rounder and just found out that I was accepted to the Duke program, but have also been accepted to a school in CA (which is where I am from). So, I am leaning towards staying closer to home and giving up my spot at Duke (i'm about 95% sure thats what's going to happen). So I know you said you were #2 but maybe that now makes you #1 on the list. Good luck, I'm sure it will happen for you :)

Awe you are all so nice! Thanks for the words of encouragement. Duke is definitely my number one, well only choice. Haha. So I am praying it works out.@lee: thank you that makes me feel so much better. Being 1 is definitely better than 2!! Hopefully someone else has the same idea as you do. I'm from California too! 949? I'm guessing you are from orange county. Im from Fresno. Haha.

ABSN-I'm SURE you're in. I'm considering different life plans so may decline as well. And I'm sure we're not the only ones. :)

Waitlist :-/

Congrats to everyone who got it! I already sent in my deposit for another school weeks ago, so I think I will be giving up on Duke.

Things are looking good for the wait list, imo... I think 13 people from the second round have joined so far and 1 person from the first dropped - so FB group at 50. And a few people seem to be undecided yet. Sit tight!! :)

Is anybody else wondering if we're going to have a smaller class? I wonder what the # was at this time last year...

Ahh!! That's good to know for us wait listers! I emailed to see if we would find out sooner then the 19th and she said that they are waiting till then to offer to the wait list but she expects to pull from it. This is so nerve wracking. I hate all the waiting and the 19th just seems so far away! Did all you second rounders receive your financial aid package yet? Good news? Bad new? Just trying to prepare myself if I do finally get accepted!
