I'm here, and I'm in! Very exciting stuff. Congratulations to everyone who was accepted, good luck to those waitlisted! Sounds like the waitlist thing will be no problem in the end. NCGator- wooo hooo! What a great way to come back from FL. Se...

I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! Just had to vent. We will find out soon enough right? Anyone else having major trouble getting Financial Aid to call you back? The main rep was not in today but last week didn't get back to me. I'm sure they are slammed...

Feb 15th!!

Okay, one more night of me looking at this thread, then that's it! It's a compulsion! Um, I am guessing they will take polaroids to have them in our file after interview so when they are talking about us later for decisions they can look at the pho...

Have officially made myself so uptight, considering not looking at this thread until AFTER the interview! Thanks for all the info, encouragement, speculation, and support! I'll post on Friday after it's all over I think!

I can offer this: at the info session they indicated that clinical/healthcare prior experience wasn't that big of a deal. Duke prides themselves on diversity in their students, ie, lots of different backgrounds, not necessarily in healthcare. The c...

No prob kebunt, I think maybe she told you that before they threw out the GRE! So Carolina didn't know and neither did nice lady at the time!

Quoting myself here in regard to info I got from the nice lady back in Dec about automatic interview criteria. From what she said it was SOLELY based on GPA.

Thank you so much for the info, I'm sure you did great, we are our own worst critic! Great to know they DO read the statement. Glad I didn't slave over that thing for nothing.

Yes! I cannot wait to hear how the phone interviews went for everyone!!

Thanks AG! 7 am it is then! Oh boy...

Hey tigers, what's up? Question, once we get in :) , anyone know what a typical day would look like? I know it will vary semester to semester based on when clinicals are, but I'm trying to figure out hypothetical pre school scenarios right now for ...

Okay, so then they will read our personal statement later? This is weird to me. I just don't exactly understand or agree with this... I don't like being repetitive. Wasn't the application supposed to let them know who we are? And then the interview ...

AG, sounds like your work is challenging and surely inspiring. Love the movie Milk, however heartbreaking it was to watch. Hope to get to meet you at Duke Days on the 22nd! I see a variety of patients in the ER in Cary, but not too many children ...

Abbie and Twois, I'm taking A and P II and Micro this semester. Sad to go back to the work/school routine starting Tues but it's one step closer to all my pre reqs being done! Glad to hear that Micro is interesting, this is encouraging! I just ord...

Okay so I'm sure everyone got the "just kidding" email today about the fourth Duke Day. What does this mean? Just wanted to start another speculation conversation... Heehee...

I called financial aid as I had completed the application around Dec. Turns out, I will have to do it all over again in Jan after I file my taxes and have my income info for 2009. At least I know what to do for it this time, it really isn't as pain...

Yes! Next week in fact! Haha, Happy New Year all! May this be the year we either get into Duke or another nursing school of our choice!

Duke does up to three years. I am not sure numbers but you can check their website.

Never been actually! I just know it exists!

I'm from Cary, and never appreciated Durham until I was an adult. Durham has a LOT to offer, it's changed a great deal within the last ten years or so. Like any city, there are bad areas. Anyone's opinion has much to do with their past experiences...

I GOT IT! My blackberry required me to reset my password so I had to log in the old fashioned way on the internet- and low and behold, there was the email from "her"- YAYYYYYYYYYYYY! Whew! See ya'll on Duke Days!!! Now I gotta figure out which da...

Ok, I didn't get an email. What does this mean? "She" told me I would be yes for interview. Will there be two rounds of emails????

I'm 31 (as of two days ago!) and I have a two year old! Just had to tell you. I'm braving it and going for the ABSN with lots of help from family. Let me know if any of you have kiddos and how you plan to make it through the program sanely. Let's ...

Kebunt, that is what I took from it- that the 3.25 will mean interview automatically. Thanks for everyone hearing me out about the GRE. I always do poorly on standardized tests. I am slow. But I'm smart gosh darn it! I did great on the practice tests...
