I was only able to log on for the first 30 minutes or so last week. Did they provide any information about what the steps moving forward will be?

No problem! Commuting from downtown Raleigh is definitely doable. It just sort of depends on what you may be used to. I work at Duke Hospital and commute there from Holly Springs, NC. If you look at a map of the area it is southwest of Raleigh. My time from driveway to parking garage is 31 minutes. I get gas every 4-5 days depending on how much extra driving I do. There may be a little added time here and there if you are coming from downtown just because of traffic lights and a bit more congestion, but probably still worth it in my opinion if you're hoping to save money. Downtown Raleigh is awesome too! So on days we're not in class, you'll be in a fun area for bars, restaurants and events. Public transportation in Raleigh/Durham isn't very good. We don't have a trolley or train-like system and Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill are all in different counties so the bus system is sort of hard to figure out. Having a personal car is sort of required unless you plan on living in one of the apartment complexes close to Duke. Duke's bus system for the school and hospital is very good and you can get anywhere you may need with it. There is a Whole Foods and Harris Teeter grocery store near Duke's East Campus and 9th St. which has a lot of little shops, restaurants and apartment buildings. If you picked a complex on 9th St. or somewhere near campus you could get by without a car and just use Duke's busses to run your errands and get to school. Plus there are all those dang electric scooters around now so you can cruise around on those. Just a forewarning, the apartments close to Duke are pretty pricey. They are very nice and many are brand spankin new, but that area has gotten expensive.

Same, I live in Triangle area(Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill). So if people are moving to the area feel free to reach out. A lot of newer apt buildings near the hospital and school as well as a lot of restaurants and grocery stores. Southpoint Mall area has a lot as well. Really there is no shortage of options anywhere. There are even a ton of cheaper options with a lot of amenities if you don't mind a bit longer commute. The city has been growing like crazy the last ten years and hasn't slowed down. Couldn't be a better time to begin a healthcare career and there honestly couldn't be a better city to choose. 3 Level I Trauma Centers within almost 30 minutes of each other. Job opportunities and job security galore.

See everyone in January! Congratulations Y'all.

Heard back. They said decisions will be going out before the 4th of July. You will receive an email update telling you to check your Self Service account for the decision. Fingers crossed and good luck everyone!

I just did. The auto-reply sort of answers FAQ but doesn't give any anticipated dates for admissions decisions. Has anyone received any word from them requesting official transcripts? It looks like that is a sign your app has moved up to the faculty.

Application status changed to "Under Review". Only update thus far.

Hey y'all, I applied as well. Originally did not make the personal statements a pdf. They attached as a doc. I changed them to a pdf through the "update" tabs on the side but I already submitted it with the document attachments. Hopefully they still take a look at my app after the mistake. Good Luck everyone!
