2012hopefulNC

You seem to respond pretty quickly when I reply so we should do this from time to time over the next month to calm each other's nerves. Good night!

I wouldn't admit that on a Duke thread...

Most definitely. This next month will fly by. "If" we get an interview, then we should do the same interview day!!! In another bit of terrific news, Coach K become the all time winningest coach in college basketball history!!! I would by lying if I didn't say that part of my love for Duke has to do with Duke basketball.

I'm wondering what the labor market is like for Duke grads. I would think the clinical exposure one gets from the outset makes us (hopefully) more likely to get an entry level job than another BSN graduate. That's why Duke is my top choice. There is an oversaturation of RN grads, especially from 2 year RN programs. I think we are doing the right thing by applying here.

This thread is still young so hopefully there aren't many people who would be annoyed. I forgot about the collateral damage our barrage of posts would bring.

Econ major in the house!!! I took time off after undergrad and taking care of my grandfather who passed away. After clearing my head, I started volunteering with hospice and became interested in healthcare. I debated which field within medicine would be right for me. I went back and forth between nursing school to ultimately get my MSN or medical school. Nursing won out.

What did you study for undergrad? If I do not get into Duke this time, then I certainly plan on re-applying and looking at UNC.

I just got engaged on top of it, so what a terrific e-mail/christmas present/engagement gift it would be, hahaha. I'm glad I did not have to take the GRE and I am sure you are too. I plan on going the MSN route, either NP or CRNA so it will be a must down the road.

Male applicant here. Nearly 10%, sounds good. Hopefully a 3.68 gpa + working on a Duke clinical research project + 1.5 years of clinical experience as a hospice patient volunteer = a wonderful e-mail/christmas present from that wonderful admissions lady. I elected not to take the GRE right now. I'm sure there will be a lot of terrific applicants. Phalanges crossed!

It would be interesting to know the admissions statistics for admitted applicants....average GPA specifically.

Once you submit your application, you will receive confirmation that it has been received and that it is complete. This will be shown as soon as you log into the online application. It will tell you what is complete and what is not.

I'm a Duke ABSN 2012 hopeful! Good luck to all. It's a hard wait, but it will be worth it in December if we get that e-mail.

Do you know if they wait until December to inform you of an interview decision, even if you applied in October?

To those who have gone through the Duke ABSN application process, when do they start notifying you if you are eligible for an interview. How long does it take for your application to be processed? When are acceptances sent out? Thanks!
