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!

Hi .. When did you find you were waitlisted ?? Do you know the average of how many people do they waitlist per cohort?

I'm wondering how Duke Days impact your application as well bc it looks like the same program from the interest meetings just a full day compared to a couple of hours.

Hi all!!! I got invited to Duke Days. RSVP for the July 21st one. Anyone else going to that one??

Also, I just went to the portal. It says "decision not made". I'm guessing they haven't sent out an official decision...even if you got an invite to Duke Days.

Can someone else verify if they have received a decision or not?? Thanks.

I'm in the same boat. I just sent in a transcript from a summer micro class yesterday

Hi Everyone!

Congratulations to everybody who received an invite to Duke Days! I got an invite as well but unfortunately I will not be able to attend due to travel restrictions. I am very interested in hearing about everyone's experience at Duke Days! If you go, please comment with your experience!

Does anyone know if we will be notified once they have reached an admissions decision or if we simply have to keep checking the portal periodically? I'm so anxious! Best of luck to you all!

When I was waitlisted they informed me of an update on the portal very soon after Duke days.
