From what I understand, we don't need to tell admissions if we want to stay on the waitlist -- only if we don't want to be on it. The school does have a ranked waitlist, but that is for students who don't get in after the interview process; that's w...

Waitlisted.

JDenis, a fellow English teacher! Maybe the admissions department wants us to suffer a little bit longer, like a Shakespearean tragedy. Good luck to you! Kmac, that was such a lovely thing to say! It really takes the sting out of this evening. Sh...

Well, I still haven't heard, so I'm going to assume a rejection and move on. I'm excited for all of you! I'm blessed to have a job as an English professor, so I just need to stay positive. Nursing has been an unrealized dream for me, but perhaps I'...

I'm in AGONY. I hope they send rejection e-mails as well so I can know for sure.

I haven't heard either way, despite refreshing. I'm thinking that's not a good sign...

I haven't gotten anything. I'm worried I'm in the reject pile. :-( Congrats to all, though! Awesome!

*to*. Seriously, I am too stressed out to type.

Yay, Hopefulnurse! Thanks! You need to be accepted because you are a natural leader. M., I'm so sorry you have yo take an A&P test tonight!

Correction: "team of students ends up...". I accidentally hit the "Send" button. Ha.

When I checked my admission status one day, new information was posted later in the evening. I think a team of students end up relaying the information after business hours, so don't give up hope. I wouldn't be surprised if the after-hours e-mailing...

Nope. :-(

My guess is that they will e-mail regrets and invitations. Otherwise, they would be flooded with applicants asking if they got in. I can't see why they would want to do that to themselves. I imagine it takes awhile to compile the e-mail list-servs a...

Hopefulnurse, what would we do without you? Thanks for the date info. I didn't realize they decided admittance in March. I thought it would be in April.

Haven't heard anything! Ugh!!!! I think I have developed check-my-e-mail OCD.

I'm praying we all get good news, too! Hang in there today! I almost feel like I'm having an out-of-body experience.

Hopeful nurse, thanks for posting a time! I have a meeting at 10:00 am. A meeting I will not be paying attention to...

Has anyone ever died of anticipation? I had nightmares last night. When you guys hear something, could you post that you did? You don't have to post the outcome, but just knowing when people are finding out would be helpful.

Two more days...hang in there, everyone! I hope everybody receives great news!

Whoops! I didn't answer your question. Ha. Yes, Duke is my first choice. How about you?

I'm only applying to Duke and Georgetown. I'm a bit more limited to where I can apply because I took my prerequisite courses over five years ago, and not many schools allow that. I don't want to re-take those! I also needed to apply to schools that...

It doesn't look like there's an application process, but that surprises me. I totally understand about the financial aid thing...our salary for last year wouldn't apply when we're unemployed students. I buy a Megamillions ticket every week. Ha ha.

Kelsey, they do offer 100% tuition + room and board to one student for each nursing program: http://nursing.duke.edu/financial-aid/financial-aid-and-loans/duson-scholarships. Perhaps you saw that one. But, wow, wouldn't that be nice!

4 more days...
