Accepted!!! Best of luck to everyone still on the waitlist.

Hey grace_anatomy, Glad to hear I am not the only one scouring their inbox this week! My guess is that we will hear something early next week if we get in with the first round of waitlisters. I am thinking positive thoughts for all of us on the waitlist!!

Thanks alliegem :) Hopefully the timing will be close to the same as last year as that is only one week to go!

Hi alligem- just wondering if you have heard when admissions will be notifying the first round of waitlisters? This wait is definitely more painful than the first time around as I am so close! I am assuming around 2/20 which I believe was the given deadline to secure a spot?

Thanks Allie :) I am nervous but feeling positive. Thanks for being an ambassador on these forums. Your insight and info on the nursing program is very much appreciated. Hope to see you soon!!

scottryana, you have an amazing background! I am also surprised. I posted a question on the VCU ABSN 2014 forum to see how many of the wait listed people actually got in. Hopefully will hear back soon.

Everyone check your emails! I am wait listed ranked #3 but still so excited to be considered! I am hoping for the best as it looks like from last year's nursing cohort at least 4 people on the wait list got in!

Hi Allie, I applied to the ABSN program for 2015 and just got the email that I am wait listed. I see from your cohort that at least four people on the wait list got in. Do you know how many total?

Excellent! BTW, scottryana and bbcd, I will be turning 40 (ugh) this April. Good to see I have other ABSN potentials in my age range :) Hope we all get in!

charming_kitty, the admissions officer told me this when I spoke with her a few months ago as I was finalizing my application. I think I did sign-up for the newsletters, hope that is the case!

I hope we start hearing back next week, I am on pins and needles! I just met a girl in my building this week that is in the traditional program. She said it was really hard but she loved it!

I was told that I would most likely get an invite to Duke Days before I hear back about being accepted but it would just be a courtesy / "save the date" invite. From what I understand, the Duke Days invite email does not mean that you are accepted. I did receive an email earlier this week about the Spring 2016 application availability. I hope that is not a bad sign Did anyone else receive this email?

Yes, I was told March, as well. I am confused - do we need to fill out Fin Aid application prior to being notified or our acceptance? I am already receiving financial aid for current schooling and filled out the FAFSA last year. Not sure how this will filter over to Duke if I am accepted?

elefant3, thanks for the reminder. I forgot that we will have the Duke Days timing email prior to the official acceptances. I hope that first round acceptances don't go past early March. Does anyone know how the admission process works with first round and second round acceptances for the Fall start date? What is the timing for second round?

stategrl, I thought that only the fully accepted applicants will be invited to Duke Days? From what you mentioned it sounds as though they can invite you to Duke Days if you are not accepted to the program? Is this true?
