Duke ABSN Fall 2021

[peanutNC]

Hi everyone!

I read through posts from previous DUSON ABSN cycles while completing my application and they were very helpful, but I noticed there were no new posts for the current application cycle, so I thought I'd start one.

Just submitted my application and am super nervous!

Anyone else here apply? Let's be antsy together! ?

IIRC, my status has been “under review” since the first week of December ?

 Good luck to everyone!

hi @peanutNC has your status changed as yet? Mine changed to "under review" on 27 Jan.

@queenrus - my status still says "under review".  It has been this way since the beginning of January!

Nope, it’s still “under review!”

Based on previous threads I think we can hope for results during the first week of March!

Hey all!
 

Just wanted to send positive vibes & good luck to you all. I'm in the most recent cohort that just started a couple weeks ago. We had some great current students hop on our forum before we started and it was super helpful, so if you have any questions about pre-admissions or current COVID protocols, let me know! I'll answer the best I can.

 

Best wishes you all get in!

P.S. If you’re curious what Duke is ‘looking for’ I don’t think there is a solid answer. Our cohort is very diverse, from all over the country, and with varying previous health care experience (I had none)!

Are classes and clinicals in person or online? Also how much money in scholarships were you given if you don't mind sharing, the price is very intimidating.

We’re hybrid right now. Most of our classes are virtual. We have our labs and clinical rotations in person. However, a lot is up in the air with the vaccine. (We did have access to the vaccine as a cohort and it was optional.) I know they’ve floated the idea of us being more in-person in the fall so nothing is set in stone yet. I’m assuming at the minimum, we’ll continue to be hybrid.

 

I personally didn’t receive any financial aid. I wasn’t planning on Duke but fate intervened so I missed the deadline for financial paperwork. We haven’t really discussed finances as a cohort other than private student lending options. I do know that Duke does not provide 100% assistance. A majority of the people in my cohort have had to get a private loan. But Duke does have helpful repayment options if you agree to work for them for x amount of years after you graduate.

Thank you for the info!

Hi! Mine is still "under review". I am not 100% sure but I believe we may not get decisions until the end of Feb/Mar 1.
