Hi!

I'm new to allnurses but I wanted to comment on how nervous I am and how much I can't wait to find out if I was accepted or not (mid- July feels so far right now, ha) What about anyone else? Is anyone else applying to other programs besides Duke?

CNAtoNursie I am nervous too! Hoping these weeks will go by quickly. I will apply to other programs closer to home if I am not accepted for the January program since those applications aren't due until November. I'm lucky to have a little wiggle room between due dates but it's scary just applying to one place for now! What about you?

Hi katiemate24! I'm glad I have someone to relate to :). I haven't applied anywhere else yet. I'm thinking about UNC or WSSU and fortunately the application dates for those two schools are around August so I'll apply to those schools if I don't get into Duke. Where is home for you?

I'm from CT. I was on the waitlist for the fall semester and they offer to roll over your application to the next semester if you're on the waitlist, so that's where I'm at now. I'm grateful that they tell us on the earlier side-- I'm out of the country for 10 days starting the 17th tho, so I'm really hoping to hear before then! Is Duke your #1 choice?

That's neat that they will roll your application over, I wasn't aware of that. Do you know if they are doing that Webinar thing for this set of applicants? Yes, Duke is my first choice, what drew you to the school?

I haven't seen anything about the webinar yet. Maybe they're assuming that they will cover everything in the Duke days this year? Did you get Nora's email this afternoon? I guess that means decisions will be coming soon! I have family in Chapel Hill and have always loved NC. I think they have a really structured program at a reputable hospital and I love how there are a lot of students around to learn from! Med school, PA, nursing, etc. What about you? Why Duke over unc (for now)?

I did get her email! I grew up a huge fan of UNC and wanted to go there for nursing school but with all the recent scandal concerning academics, it's just left a slight mark on how I view the school and its integrity. Don't get me wrong, I'm know they still have a top notch nursing program and attending that university would still be an honor , but in knowing myself and the things I value when receiving an education, I think Duke would be the ideal fit for me (if I can get in!). So, if you get in, do you think you'll try to live in Chapel Hill or closer in Durham?

Does anyone know the date we are supposed to receive the admissions decisions? last year it was July 9-11, but it was posted on their webinar. I haven't seen anything, except for the email reminding about Duke days, etc.

Although we didn't get an email yet, decisions are posted now. I'm on the waitlist! Looking forward to hearing what everyone else hears.
