Hello! I figured it was time to start this thread now that the application deadline is nearly here. Let us commence the stress and commiseration!
I finally submitted my Duke ABSN application yesterday after being away from my computer for months while traveling. I feel excited and hopeful, but the reality is that I won't be able to attend without a significant scholarship. I love Duke's program and my partner lives outside of Durham (I'm currently near Tucson, AZ) so this could be the perfect fit.
Nursing will be a second career for me--I'm 34. I'm curious whether most of my fellow applicants are younger or around my age?
You don’t have to make the deposit at the time of acceptance! I accepted already, but I also need to wait a bit before paying the deposit. Don’t be afraid to accept—it doesn’t force you to pay right away.
@seacandaceThank you for letting me know! I just accepted and will be paying my deposit hopefully next week. I was slightly nervous seeing accept or decline and then clicking accept! Will you be attending for sure or are you weighing your options?

we are in the same boat! I emailed Ben, but I’m sure he won’t get back to me until tomorrow. I asked him a bunch of questions about the waitlist, so I’ll tell you all that he says when I hear back

what questions did you ask? the only question I had was what number I am. But the lady at the front desk said nobody is assigned numbers
I asked how the process of getting off the waitlist worked, how many people are on the waitlist, & when the deadline is for getting off the waitlist. If no one is assigned numbers, is it random??
I wonder if there are no assigned numbers, then maybe it's based on whoever answered the email and first accepted the waitlist?
the lady at the first desk said we aren't assigned ranked numbers and she redirected me to Benjamin's line and I left a message because he didn't answer.
Duke Days are posted! March 20th or March 23rd. I'm attending March 23rd as the flights and hotels are slightly cheaper. Just booked my flight from FL to NC! If anyone is attending this day let me know.

I am also attending the March 23rd session! Safe travels! I am looking forward to meeting you!
Hi y'all! I also got in and will be attending Duke Days March 20 ,I'm looking forward to meeting you all. I am still not 100% sure if I am attending, I need to know how financial aid will work out.
