Duquesne University - ABSN - Fall 2021

Published

Hey everyone! I could not find a forum for the ABSN program at Duquesne for Fall 2021, so I decided to go ahead and create one. I just got my acceptance letter this week, and am 99% sure this is the program I am going to commit to. Would love to talk to other candidates who are in the process of applying, already applied and waiting for a decision, or have been accepted already as well! 

Just received my acceptance this morning! I’m super excited!

I received my acceptance a few days ago! It only took about a week after submitting my application. Still waiting on other schools so we will see!! The tuition scholarship is really nice though!

Right now I am undecided, but the tuition scholarship is pretty awesome considering that many ABSN programs offer no scholarship or grant aid.

I just got accepted for fall 2021! Does anyone know where to look for roommates? Is there a facebook group for ABSN students yet?

Have any of you spoken to current/past students who went through the program? I’m having a hard time finding much discussion about the program itself besides a handful of pretty negative posts from some of the past years. Wondering if these are just a handful of disgruntled students or if the program actually has some issues, and if so, if they’ve been addressed.

Just to update about this so someone doesn't see it and panic, it looks like the complaints I was seeing were in reference to a change in the grading scale (changing a passing grade from 74 to 78, which seems about in line with other programs I'm looking at) and the HESI exams that are included in the curriculum/needed to graduate. I actually committed to Duquesne this week ?

Good to know, I was wondering about the complaints as well. Also congratulations!! ?? I got my acceptance letter last week and I think I’ll commit since the other program I applied to is almost 2x more expensive. If you don’t mind me asking, are you from pittsburgh area?

Thank you! I'm going to be moving from California and have never actually been to Pittsburgh before
