Duke ABSN Spring 2018

Published

Hello!

I haven't seen any threads yet about Duke's ABSN program for Spring of 2018 so I thought I would start one to chat with other hopefuls like myself!

Also, if anyone who has previously been accepted into the program, any and all advice would be greatly appreciated! For now, I have a few questions:

- Does anyone know if they weigh all parts of the application equally?

- What is their acceptance rate?

- Any good tips for the personal statements? I'm finding that it's very difficult to articulate why I want to be a nurse without sounding cheesy.

- Where else are y'all applying?

I think that's all for now! I look forward to chatting with everyone!

Hey guys, does anyone remember what Duke stated about the need based scholarship regarding if we receive the same amount for the fall/spring portion of the program? So basically is the scholarship amount we receive for spring/summer the same amount we will receive for fall/spring. I hope I make sense lol

Yep! You'll get the same amount for the next two terms.

Wow! That's not bad. Basically whatever your scholarship amount is currently multiply x2 to get an understanding of how much you're getting for the whole program. Thank you for responding. Is there anyone that's definitely going? I can't wait to meet everyone!

Hi meredith19,

They sent me the email a week or two after I received the waitlist notice.

Hey guys! If any of you attended Duke Days (I went on the 21st but I'm not sure if the student panel was the same on the 28th), do you remember what the scholarship was named that was for nurses who want to serve in underprivileged areas? I remember one of the girls mentioning it, but I didn't happen to catch the name of the scholarship. Thanks y'all!

Did anyone have classes missing on their official decision letter that they had sent in transcripts for?

I think its FELS. Try CFNC.org/FELS

You have to click around a bit but somewhere you can sign up for them to email you when the application opens again.

If there are any current students or alumni in this thread who didn't get any financial aid besides loan eligibility from Duke, would you mind sharing whether or not you think the hefty price tag is worth it? I'm struggling to justify going into such significant debt despite Duke being the #1 program in the country. Any and all advice, experiences, or tips are welcome! Thanks in advance!

The name of the scholarship is HRSA

Does anyone happen to know where the compliance items are listed? I just recently submitted my deposit on 8/25 so I'm thinking I'll be receiving emails soon, but I know that Nora is out of town for a while. Thanks in advance for your help!
