    homelife replied to skat12's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Not to get too ahead of myself but... isn't this the first year that Duke's sending out acceptance letters months before UNC's? Usually their acceptance letter period overlapped. Meaning you'd have...

    Check your spam folders. Search your e-mail folders for that e-mail I provided. Sometimes e-mails have a funny way of slipping through the cracks and hiding away. Hoping it's good news for

    It was personalized enough to say "Dear _______" and then the rest was the generic copy+paste message standard in letters of acceptance or rejection. It was sent from [email protected]. My...

    You make a good point, running05. Want to be the guinea pig in calling to

    homelife replied to skat12's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I thought FOR SURE decisions would be up first thing this morning @ 8am. Now I'm wondering if they will even be available by 5pm. Yeesh. All this waiting is driving me crazy. They better not pull what...

    I was told not to bank on receiving it via email. Admissions decisions will be up via the application portal (see previous pages for the link I provided). Only days from now will the admitted students...

    homelife replied to skat12's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    This isn't really news, as they'd told us we'd hear back July 9-11. But ummmm that last part is a little bit, shall I say, troubling? To say the least. Admissions letters are day(s) away from going...

    About $22/hr would equate to about $45k starting. Not bad! I'd always heard starting salary was roughly that and up to about 55k. Im crossing my fingers for all of us this week, and scheduled myself...

    Not yet. I don't want to get ahead of myself/jinx myself. You also have to remember rent cost. Probably another 5-8k, even though Duke estimates 8k (which IMO is way too high and can be significantly...

    homelife replied to skat12's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Anixon, Duke's ABSN program isn't cheap! I would figure out first off if nursing is truly what you want to pursue so you don't put yourself in a financial hole and put more stress onto yourself. You...

    homelife replied to skat12's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    It was kind of a waste of time and didn't tell me anything I didn't already know. A lot of people were asking specific questions about their own shortcomings, a lot of questions about financial aid...

    homelife replied to skat12's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    You need to submit your transcripts and personally get your GPA assessed because a class that is valid at one University may not be valid at Duke and may not be counted in your GPA. There's not a cut...

    Anyone else get the e-mail invite to the webinar on Thursday, June 26th at 4:00p.m? It's nothing official in the decision process, just a kind of Q&A about the program, financial aid, etc: I'll...

    Hi skat12, I've seen you on the Duke boards in the past! Just applying this time around and did some reading on past rounds. I didn't realize you were an out-of-stater and that far! What made you...

    See above about the past Duke Days dates I posted. If they're keeping (roughly) the same dates this year, that means we might hear back by the first week to second week of

    I was really looking forward to the interviews as a "second chance." I feel confident in my essays but with those stringent word count parameters, there's only so much you can say...which is why they...

    You must have an undergraduate GPA of 3.4 or higher, and if you're like me, having attended multiple universities and studied abroad, you'll find your GPA is not so cut and dry. Quite a difference vs...

    I have applied! Anyone know what "good" GRE scores are? Duke has told me "top fiftieth percentile" but what does that mean regarding actual scores per section? Not sure if I needed it, so I signed up...
