Thanks for the confirmation smith_c123. Definitely not great news but it is what it is. I'm sure we'll all figure it out one way or another!

Really sad news I am taking my last 2 prereqs now so I'm no longer excited for the mail to come...

Well it sounds like you are a great applicant from that perspective so I hope it works out for you!

Another question for you all - have you finished all your prereqs or are you still working on the last few? I was told prior to applying that they do give preference to applicants who have already finished all of the prereqs (even though it's not required) for the BSN program. I am taking my last few right now so unfortunately that plays against my application.

Definitely stay positive! Seems like several people have gotten in off the wait list in past years. Thanks for the update - seems like there's a good chance all the other locals will hear today too...

Well best of luck to everyone! Hopefully the weather the past two weeks won't delay the notification process. Keep us posted!

Great! I'm sure as March gets closer we'll have a bit more activity on this thread. Best of luck!

Hi! Since applications were due a few weeks ago I thought I'd go ahead and start a thread for UNC's BSN program (May matriculation). Anyone else apply? Best of luck to everyone!

Hi! I'm sure all people from this thread are now busy in school and no longer checking allnurses. :). BUT - if anyone is still checking in I would love to speak with one of you to get some insight as I'm very interested in UNC's ABSN program and will be applying next round. Let me know and thanks so much in advance!

Hi! We are in a very similar situation. I am mid-thirties, second career, kids and I would love to knock out the ABSN in 2 years but I would have to take my pre-reqs over for UNC because I graduated more than 10 years ago :/ Duke doesn't have the 10 year requirement but it is pricey (and as you mentioned - both are hard to get into). I'm looking for the most efficient route. Hopefully others with more experience will chime in with some good information.

Hello! I'm hoping to get some advice on whether to pursue (1) a ADN at a local community college and then a ADN to BSN bridge program or (2) a ABSN program. I've been out of college for awhile so I would have to take many of the prerequisite courses over in order to be eligible for UNC's ABSN program. This would take time (delaying application another year) and then of course there's no guarantee I would be accepted into this competitive program. My ultimate goal is to work at a hospital in the triangle (UNC, Duke, Rex, WakeMed). I believe that these hospitals for the most part require a BSN (is this correct)? Assuming it is, is it easier to get a job in the triangle if your degree is from UNC or Duke as opposed to Durham Tech, Wake Tech, etc? Just trying to determine whether going to UNC or Duke is really that advantageous over community colleges (assuming I end up with a BSN at either place). Thanks!!
