Wow, add me to the young age group... I'm also 22 and a May college grad. Had no clue there were so many of us! One more final to go on Tuesday and then I can start getting festive for the hols......
I wouldn't worry about your GPA. The bad thing about trying to enroll in the nursing program for your junior year of college at UNC is that you have to cram every single undergrad requirement/pre-req...
I've never met anyone who has a 4.0 undergrad GPA, ha ha (I don't!). I am sure it doesn't hurt to be older - I would just love to know the percentage of people accepted from undergrad into the BSN...
The deadline for the app is December 22nd, right? Just checking. I have heard they look at your cumulative GPA and your science GPA (the one from the five pre-req classes). I've also heard they...
No idea about # of applicants... Maybe if they have a big group they'll let in more people this time? They let in 90ish people a few cycles back. Wishful thinking on my part, lol! Anybody have a...
Anybody else wondering how they look at second degree applicants? I would think many people applying to the two-year BSN program are already enrolled in undergrad at UNC (either sophomores or...
tinatac, there is a thread for Duke ABSN Fall 2012 below this one on the NC programs page... I'm thinking maybe we'll hear something about interviews on Friday the 16th since they heard on Friday the...
ABSNhopeful, I'm sure you're fine if you've talked to admissions... I am taking two pre-reqs right now, and M told me that I don't have to send Duke a transcript until I have my final grades (which...
No problem! :) After creeping on the thread for last Fall - it looks like they found out about interviews on December 17th, had interviews at the end of January/beginning of February, and found out...
Looks like they got notified via email about interviews on December 17th last year... I think it is always before Christmas. I am trying to block it out so I can get through finals, ha ha!
Most def!! It would be great to "know" someone going into it - hopefully I wouldn't be as nervous then. Sir, you and I might have a problem on our hands... my heart bleeds a different shade of
I completely agree - the clinical hours (896!) alone are amazing. The ppt from the info session says that 93.5% of graduates are employed in nursing within 6 months of graduation... Sounds pretty...
Yes, I was actually expecting more people to come out of the woodwork since the deadline is getting closer... but I know a lot of people probably like to lurk (heck, I like to lurk, ha ha). But I'm...
I think you made the right choice. :) I actually just graduated from undergrad in May, but I am so ready to get the ball rolling again... This "transitional period" is majorly awkward! Ha. But I...
I had a Humanities/Languages major with a science minor, so nothing really related to nursing, ha ha. I always knew I wanted to go into healthcare but just wasn't sure what... I'm taking two...
Wow, an email would be the icing on the cake for you! That is so exciting. Getting into school is my first goal, so I really haven't given much thought to the grad programs yet. I'm also applying...
Dang, you sound good to me (and being male doesn't hurt either- ha). I'm female, so we shall see... A happy admissions email would be the BEST Christmas present ever! I didn't have to take the GRE...
You're in luck... I just found the PowerPoint we got at the info session. For the ABSN Class of Fall 2011: 68 people total (this number varies a lot - for Spring 2011 it was 93 people and for Fall...
I don't think we'll find out until the end of March/beginning of April (it says 12 weeks after the deadline on the online app) - that is a looong wait. Especially when the semester starts on May...
You can also call the office and have them check for you - I did that several times before submitting the app (and realizing that it would tell me everything was complete, ha
