Duke ABSN Spring 2015

[skat12]

Anyone else applying to Duke's ABSN program for Spring 2015? As we're approaching the application deadline, I thought it would be great to get a conversation started. If anyone is currently in the program, I would love to hear your thoughts about the program as well.

Homelife,

It was her and she wasn't in the office today to let me know. But yes she gave me the formula and it came out to what I calculated so hopefully I'm alright. However, my gpa is a 3.507

Is anybody still receiving emails stating that "you still have time to complete your application" or "your application is not submitted" even though you finished and submitted it along time ago? These emails always worry me, even though I know everything is taken care of.

I haven't gotten anything other than the one yesterday about being under review.

Homelife,

According to Duke's website, the tuition is $18,332 per semester. It will probably come out to around $24,000 if you include living and other expenses. Duke is a great school with an exceptional Nursing program. I love that they have a small faculty-to-student ratio, which will give students more individual attention. Plus, Duke's medical facilities will provide many unique research opportunities. I've visited North Carolina and Duke and feel in love with the lifestyle and community.

Anixon,

We moved to Abu Dhabi because my husband was offered a great job opportunity. I've been volunteering at a hospital here since August. But, we're excited about moving back and starting different career paths.

Very nice skat!

nac805,

Did you begin another application with a different email? I started another application when I had technical problems submitting my main application. The problem was fixed, but since I did not submit the back-up application, I'm receiving those emails on that account. If not, I would check with the Admissions Office to make sure they have received all transcripts.

Skat:

Thanks for your comment. I did begin another application and created a new one because I was having difficulties. Glad to know someone else had the same issue; it's just nervewracking to continually recieve emails saying my app is incomplete! I checked with admissions and they have all of my materials...so nothing to worry about.

has everyone whose submitted applications received an email that their application is under review?

Is there a special way GPA is calculated for Duke? I am nowhere near applying as I have still not earned a bachelor degree, but I also have several colleges to consider as far as GPA calculation. Does Duke look at the last 120 hours? (I will have more than a standard 120 hours). Also, does Duke average retakes or replace?

Thank you.
