Hi everyone! I was also accepted and am a NC resident. Here are my stats/info (as calculated by nursingCAS): undergraduate GPA: 3.18, masters GPA: 3.73, prerequisite GPA: 4.0. I have a masters degree and 2 graduate certificates, one of which is in MNCH. I have 6+ years of working in global public health and also volunteered as a doula through the UNC Birth Partners program. In regards to housing, I live in Chapel Hill already so thankfully that's one less thing I have to figure out. One thing to note is the buses are AWESOME. They are free for everyone and run very frequently. If you can, try to find someone to split a 2-3 bedroom with that's near the busline. If you're splitting, you can find a place where each person pays in the $300-$500 range per month. A place to check-out is Finley Forest near the Friday Center.

Hi! I'm also applying to UNC's ABSN program. I can't believe the application is due in less than 2 weeks! I'm completing my last prereq now (psych) which finishes at the end of August. I started the CAS application, which is a slog. I'm having some issues with getting official transcripts from my previous schools; one is facing a HUGE backlog and the other isn't sending out paper copies but CAS isn't accepting their official electronic copy. Some advice: if you haven't requested your transcripts already, DO IT NOW! I didn't anticipate these issues (have had no problems in the past with these institutions) so I'm happy I started the process early. I've been mulling over the essay prompts for about a week now and need to sit down and actually get something down on paper. I live in Chapel Hill now, so going to UNC would be sooooo convenient. Good luck!!
