    myischmo replied to skat12's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I don't think the waitlist is ranked, which is understandable since they use a holistic approach to selecting their applicants. Holistic admissions processes are not about performance but the actual...

    Thanks running05. I just got off the phone with Nora. I guess I should have checked here first. She couldn't say much (totally understandable), but did say they have not sent out any notifications...

    Does anyone know how we will be notified or if we will be notified? Do they just inform those from the waitlist that are accepted, or does everyone receive a notification? Are we even notified? Should...

    Anixon, I agree. I certainly understand and respect their reasoning, but it would have been nice to hear everything first-hand, ask questions, speak with faculty, current, and other prospective...

    Vbee, you are on point with everything! I'm definitely not giving up hope, yet. I should also be grateful I have another program to fall back on. Unfortunately, I only have a week after the program...

    Running05, I've looked at past threads and it does seem like they are able to pull quite a few from the waitlist, but I've also noticed that prior to the second announcements you see quite a few...

    Anixon, I called last week and she made it sound more like next week at the earliest, but didn't rule out this week. I'm crossing my fingers for this week. My other program starts next week and I...

    I thought about it....I still want to go! I hope there is room to pull off of the waitlist! The deadline is a week from tonight, so hopefully us waitlisters hear something sometime next

    Oh, wow! I did not know they did away with the 15 credit hours. I understand their reasons. Most grad schools will not allow more than 6 credits transferred in; however, I was looking at the early...

    Can anyone attending Duke Days these next couple of days let those of us waitlisted know how it goes? I refuse to give up hope

  12. Duke ABSN Spring 2015

    myischmo replied to skat12's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    vbee, I believe I read August 10 somewhere. So a minimum of three weeks before we hear anything, but four is more realistic. Anyone know how long they typically wait after the deadline before they...

    Homelife, Duke does mention pre-requisite requirements on their webpage. It's listed under "ABSN Enrollment Prerequisites." Here's a link for anyone who needs it... Accelerated BSN Admission...

    I agree with Homelife. You do have to do what's best for you and your family at the end of the day. Just don't give up on it until you have done your

    I wouldn't give up on it. Look into the different loans. You may be able to qualify for a low percentage rate which makes a difference in what you pay. Some loans are better than others. I usually...

    Ladeebugchick, Private loans are much different than federal. For the most part they are going to be like any other private loan you would obtain unless specified otherwise. They don't have...

    Homelife, Thanks for sharing the financial aid. I didn't see anything in mine, but I don't know if they provide them for those that are waitlisted until an offer is actually

    Anixon, I've been waitlisted as well. I'm supposed to start another program in August, but I'm going to prepare in every way I can in hopes of getting into Duke. I just spent $300 this week in...

    myischmo replied to skat12's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Anixon, I'm starting a nursing program in August at another university, and I don't think the first round of invites for the waitlist come out until some time in August. I've been awarded scholarships...

    I didn't receive an email. I checked every folder. I think I must have been on the rejected list. Congrats to all that got

    Ladeebugchick, I'm in NC as well. I'm thinking the same thing. It's 7:18p.m. on a Friday, and it may not be something they can control if it's a portal
