Duke Fall 2017

Lovetennessee · Dec 27, 2016

Now when I log into my application it has GRE scores under the "To Do" section. My GPA is high enough that I don't have to take the GRE. My application is still listed as incomplete:(

I have the same exact status. I called the SON today and they stated that every application is viewed and will be updated to complete on the GRE status when the MSN application review team assesses each individual applicant. So they said not to worry and it'll be updated before they decide to call applicants for interviews.

Has anyone heard anything yet? I keep checking my email obsessively.

Nothing yet. Maybe a few more days?

Jeskay456 · Jan 5, 2017

I haven't heard yet either.

Has anyone else received the dreadful email stating that application updates will be happening until February... and ALSO after checking my portal it now shows an application to the Duke Nicholas School of the Environment in addition to the School of Nursing?? Anyone else showing this?

I got that email last night, it is probably just the listserv. As for the Duke Nicholas School, that is odd, have you applied there before? I wouldn't think much of it since this is a new system and we are the guinea pig group for its roll out. As long as it still shows your nursing application I'm sure the other one doesn't matter, you can always contact Duke OIT to get it fixed.

They updated mine as of 1/7/17, the transcripts were marked as received on this date even though they were there before then. The GRE to do also fell off.

Mine is updated as well, but the GRE thing is still there. I have over a 3.8 GPA, so that should hopefully go away.

Jeskay456 · Jan 9, 2017

They updated mine over the weekend as well, so the GRE status disappeared. My transcripts have the appropriate date though and are listed as in before the deadline. Hopefully they move faster than their depressing email stated. I wouldn't worry about your GRE status as they said they are updating everything up until February.

I think my transcripts are more complicated than most. I sent a total of 5 transcripts. Four of them were undergrad and one graduate (one class). I was in the military so have lots of military training that counted as college credits (electives with no grades). I also took a few prerequisite classes at a couple of colleges. My main transcript was from my BSN. That school had already transferred every credit I earned onto my transcript. That's how I know my final GPA. But I'm sure they're having to pick through everything. I did take the GRE twice, but only scored okay, so I did not want to submit those scores.

Have the received dates changed for yours? I'm a little upset because I sent for all of my transcripts in October and had completed my application before the deadline. I called the 2nd week of December to make sure all was well and they couldn't find one of my transcripts. I had it expedited, but it was received Dec 16. The Duke website says all materials must be received before the deadline for priority consideration. I'm kicking myself for not calling earlier. Maybe that's the reason the GRE requirement hasn't fallen off. They may not even be reviewing my application till later.
