Hi! I wanted to start a forum for people applying to Duke's MSN program for Fall 2025. Which program are y'all applying to? Please post if anyone hears anything so we can keep each other updated!!

Just got my interview invitation for the ACPNP program :-) good luck everyone!

Side note: did the FAQ attachment come through for anyone? The email said there would be one attached but I don't see it here.

I received my interview request as well! And no, mine didn't have anything attached 😞

Just got my interview invitation! I think I am going to stick with UNC-Chapel Hill's online PMHNP program, but I am still going to interview. Congrats to all!

Sorry for the side note, but for UNC's program do you see anywhere about financial aid or anything monetary/estimated cost of attendance? Everything is blank for me which ~isn't helping~ decisions

Has anyone who applied for MSN FNP not received an email invitation to interview yet? I got an email in January saying that the deadline for fall 2025 has passed, but my application still says complete an under faculty review.

Has anyone received an invitation to interview for the Healthcare and Leadership program? 

[ltaylor898, BSN]

Regarding the question about UNC's program, I have not received any additional details about financial aid and monetary assistance. However, I'm not sure if that is due to my status as a resident of North Carolina?

Does anyone know how to get the attachment with the interview questions? I didn't receive an attachment with my interview invite email:)

Supposed to interview Tuesday but honestly I've been rethinking it because of the sheer cost of Duke's program

I had my interview yesterday! The DNP who interviewed me was super intimidating, and second the Zoom call started I did not get a warm and fuzzy vibe from her. She didn't smile at all and made a comment about my audio not being 100% clear. So that definitely made me even more nervous than I already was, and my answer to her first question was probably all over the place. But once I calmed down, my answers to the other 4 questions felt a lot better. When the interview was over and she asked if I had any questions, she became friendly and bubbly all of a sudden, so I guess she tries to be very serious for the actual interview. 2 of the NPs I work with are Duke MSN alumni and they actually know the lady who interviewed me, and told me to not worry because that's just her personality. You all will do great! Speak from the heart and be yourselves 😊

Oh my goodness. I'm sorry that happened but glad you had the insight into this to be reassured. This was helpful, thank you!

Just interviewed! My faculty interviewer was very kind. I wish everyone luck! 🙂

Ended up with withdrawing my application because I got into Vanderbilt's program but good luck to everyone !!
