Not sure what the cutoff will be since they will accept more students but I'm guessing all the other programs like durham tech, Johnston, central, vance/Granville have all sent out notices so people will likely accept there since wake tech hasn't sent decisions. By the time they do, they'll have a good number declining spots which should make the wait list move a little faster. If you have lower points you might be waitlisted and then pulled off, but if could be a week before class starts. Who knows!

From my understanding, the delay is due to them increasing the size of the program, they are still working out details of faculty, clinical instructors, how many students each program will get (LPN, LPN-RN, and RN), classroom space, etc. I don't think fhey will be using classes we just completed as part of our points. They probably have everyone ranked already while they're sorting out these details. Hopefully next week. With finals this week, pinning today, graduation tomorrow, I didn't expect to hear anything this week.

It just depends on the points the rest of the applicants have. It varies each application period. I talked to one student that will graduate in December and she had 130 pts. She was waitlisted but notified a week later she got in. I'm guessing if you don't meet the TEAS minimum you will not be accepted or waitlisted. I'm currently taking BIO 175 so I don't have the points for that class either. I'm anticipating being waitlisted but being pulled off fairly quickly, but we'll see. Thankfully they do 2 admission cycles so retake the TEAS and finish BIO 169 and you should be in good shape for July application. Good luck!

I have a reliable source telling me late April/May. They are increasing the size of the program among the LPN, LPN-RN bridge, and RN, so they are working on figuring out how many seats each program will get, instructors, class space, etc. I keep checking email in hopes of seeing something but I know it's going to be a couple more weeks. Previously I think they took about 20-30 on the waitlist but that may change as the program size is changing.

I saw a reddit thread from last year and people were posting they got acceptance letters April 11. It may change from year to year, but it could be any time now! I am currently in Microbiology and have 131 points, so I feel like I'm on the lower end since I'm still missing that class, but it's possible! You do have to have the TEAS to apply and be accepted, so if you haven't taken the TEAS yet, you won't be considered for Fall 2025 entry. You need to make sure you have it done by the July 31 deadline for Spring 26 entry. By then, you'll have your A&P class done and can include those points and if you do well in A&P (an A is 32 points!) and get some TEAS bonus points, you'll be sitting well. I got 12 bonus points for having an 85 on the TEAS.

Sounds like you are in a good spot! I don't know what my overall GPA is since some of my pre-reqs are transfer credits from college (a LONG time ago! HA!) but I should get points for them. I am currently taking BIO 175, so I didn't have the points for them for my application, but I'm pretty sure I have 131 points. I have As in all my BIO classes except BIO 168, which I have a B. I have Bs in my English and Humanities elective and As in the Psych and Soc classes, so I think I'm doing OK? My TEAS score was 83. Good luck and hopefully the time from now until mid to late April passes quickly!

Thanks! So far the relocation is going slow. My husband has interviewed at a couple of places but had not gotten an offer yet. He's still looking and applying, but at this point we really don't know when we'll be moving. So, I still feel at a stand still right now, everything is in a holding pattern! Good luck on NET test! Let me know how it goes.

Hello. My hubby and I are hoping to relocate to Durham hopefully next year. I have taken A&P I, II, and III. Does anyone know if there is a time limit on these for Durham Tech? Since we were planning on relocating I haven't applied anywhere around our current location, but our plans to relocate has taken longer than we were expecting. Also, what is a standard wait time to start clinicals once you have met all the requirements and been accepted into the ADN program? Thanks for any help! Oh, and if any current students want to tell me how they the program is going for them, please feel free to share!

deasiac, was this an automated email or a response to one you sent them? I did not get an email from them today. I am wondering if anyone has seen a decision notice in their online application summary? I know it says "decision data not final until applicant receives a letter..." I know the ABSN students were notified over a month ago. I'm leaving town on Sunday for 2 months, so I guess I'll be calling my neighbor who is checking my mail to let me know when something from OHSU arrives!

I took Micro there in winter 2006 and LOVED my instructor, but she left for a university position somewhere on the East coast before fall term that year. I may get differing opinions on this one, but I preferred my A&P 2 and 3 instructor over my A&P 1 instructor. One gave all essay exams, which was fine, but you learn pretty quick that if you just remember exactly what was on his slides, you will do well on the test. Lab exams were the standard mix of slides, ID labes and such. A&P I instructor did incorporate the physiology part on his lab exams. For example he would have a slide for a type of muscle specimen and you had to ID it and then state what it did. I made a B, but only b/c I had a hard time getting to open lab so my lab exams were mostly C's while my lecture exams were A's. Instrutor for A&P 2 and 3 gave multiple choice exams, however you REALLY had to know the ins and outs of each process. You really had to think about each and every possible answer b/c he usually doesn't put even one obviously wrong answer to make it easy to eliminate. Bottom line, you REALLY need to know the material. A lot of people recorded his lectures b/c he doesn't use powerpoint. He writes on the board, old school style. He has an odd sense of humor, but I liked him. I found that by participating, asking questions, being involved in labs, I didn't have any problems with him. My group ended up joking around with him quite a bit. He won't hold your hand or guide you step by step. He does expect you to make the effort to think about an answer to a question and maybe find the solution yourself, instead of just "going to the expert" for a quick and easy answer. I would recommend going to each and every open lab, though. He LOVES slides and I personally found that I needed every moment I could find to study, study, study those slides in every possible combination! We would set up a number of scopes and each pick a couple of slides to put on and then we would go around and guess, sort of test ourselves. That was SOOOO helpful. And we really put the student lab leader/person to work!! We kept her busy! I made an A in both sections with him and in A&P 3, I had the highest grade in the class. I am a 2nd career student with a previous bachelors, which was a GPA of 2.3. I am 33, a full-time stay at home mom to 2 kids who were 2.5 and 8 months at the time of taking these classes. In high school and college I HATED science and would squeak by with C's and D's. So, I personally thought he was a great instructor. I would take his class again if I had to do it over. I can still remember a lot of the material and it's been ovr a year since I finished the series. I worked my tail off, but it was worth it!
