Thank you! I may have more questions as I begin researching and planning.

I have not heard anything either. Im hoping to receive a decision soon since I was accepted into another program and need to give an official decision in April. Im glad your friend has good reviews of the program!

Thank you adairfletch. I will have a car. 20 minutes doesn't seem like too much of a commute.

Paid my deposit! Its official! I'm from the west coast, anyone have advice on housing or good areas to look? I'm also leaning towards the idea of a roommate. Is there a place to search for potential housemates? Thanks!

I was accepted as well!! I am surprised given the odds. Congrats to my fellow cohort! yay!

I recieved an interview as well. I am currently in WA and a last minute flight could be frighteningly expensive. Does anyone know if they offer online or phone interviews? I really don't want to lose this opportunity

Any newly accepted students within the last month? I'm wondering if the program is full. I haven't heard anything from the school yet.

Just to make sure I'm not missing something.... Are y'all receiving the notifications via your personal email? Do you have a UTMB email?

Im assuming the first wave of acceptance would be UTMB's first pick in students. As prospective students choose not to attend they offer those spots to applicants next on the list.

Hello! I applied to the Fall 2016 Accelerated BSN. Any idea of when decisions will be sent out? Also when do I register for the two prereq classes needed before the start of the program?

Thank you for the encouraging words! I did contact NursingCAS a few times to inquire about the status of my transcripts. I submitted official transcripts Jan 3rd and they were verified Feb 10th. I'm happy to hear UTMB allows a little wiggle room in the timeline of verification. I may be studying alongside some of you after all. If accepted, I'll be moving from WA. Anyone else from out of state?

Hola! I also applied to the program last minute and haven't heard anything back yet. Congrats to those accepted and good luck for those still eagerly waiting.

I also applied for Fall and have not heard anything back yet. There was an issue with my transcripts being verified before the deadline so I'm assuming that may have messed up my chances. My stats: 3.75 overall 3.8 Science/math 91 TEAS I don't have hands on healthcare experience, but i did work in a military hospital and an assisted living facility in non medical roles.Congrats everyone with interviews and good luck!!!

Hola! I haven't found a thread for Fall 2016 ABSN applicants so I decided to create one. I just submitted my application a few days ago and am very excited to potentially make the move to Texas. Any fellow applicants? Or TAMUCC graduates that would be willing to share their insight or opinions of the program?

I wish everyone the best of luck!

adairfletch Law school? That is so impressive. If you don't mind me asking what inspired you to change career paths?

I think I read Duke's ABSN program has about a 40% acceptance rate with 600+ applications. Not sure how that math works. My plan is to apply to every scholarship I find including HRSA. If that doesn't work, then apply to hospitals after graduation that offer tuition reimbursement. As far as I know the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program is also available to nurses who work in "public service" positions for 10 years. Are there "cheaper" ABSN programs? The ones I've looked into are all about $60k+ in tuition. But I also have to pay out of state tuition in most cases. I'm in WA now and there are basically only 2 BSN programs (UW and WSU) to choose from.

Hello! I applied to Duke's ABSN Fall 2016 cohort. I'm surprised this thread hasn't had many people join the conversation. Maybe there isn't a huge pool of applicants? Any applicants with certifications or experience as CNA?

CPN2012, I am applying to JHU SON for summer 2016. I spoke with admissions and they gave me a vague yet encouraging reply when I inquired about the competitiveness and likelihood of acceptance into the program. I was told they have a 40% acceptance rate and the average GPA is 3.4. That seems awfully low for such an amazing school. Any insight you can provide as to what to emphasis and showcase in the application? Also what was the demographic of your cohort? would you agree with the 3.4 GPA? Any wisdom is much appreciated! Thank you!
