I figured I would start this thread for anyone else who is applying to the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill's Accelerated Bachelor of Nursing program. Good luck everyone!

Hi all! I live in Southern Pines, NC and I received my acceptance letter yesterday! I look forward to meeting some of you, and best of luck to those still waiting to hear!

Congratulations!! Do you mind sharing your stats?

Thank you!

Thank you @gcfo! And of course, a little about me:

I graduated from NC State University in Dec. 2017 with a BS in Human Biology. My undergraduate gpa was a 4.0 and I was involved in numerous service and medical related clubs while at NC State. I have my CNAI and CNAII and have work experience in Home Health, I've worked on the Ortho/Neuro unit at WakeMed Raleigh, and currently work full time night shift at Moore Regional Hospital in L&D and Postpartum.

If you have any more specific questions please feel free to ask!

Good luck!

I hope it's not a bad sign if you don't receive notification soon.

Wow! You are indeed a very competent applicant. You definitely deserve the spot!

As for me, I don't really know what decision to expect, tbh. This is my second time applying to UNC. I applied to the traditional BSN program that started in the fall 2018 but unfortunately got rejected (i have not completed all the prereqs then). I'm from the Philippines where I earned my BS degree in Pyschology. My undergrad GPA is 2.95 which is really low. But I started taking the prereqs immediately when I moved here last year. So far, my prereq GPA is 4.0 which can hopefully pull up my cumulative GPA. I don't really have a lot of experience in the medical field. I worked as an English as Second Language (ESL) teacher for Korean students for 2 years in the Philippines. I started volunteering at the Women's Birth and Wellness Center at Chapel Hill (did this for 4 months), and the Belk Boutique in Duke Cancer Center (still doing it) last year to somehow get an exposure. After getting denied from the BSN program, I continued with the completion of the prereqs, and I participated in an honors project to further boost my application. I also finished the nurse aide I course, and will have my skills test on October 26th. (I tried applying to NCAT's ABSN, and CNA I listing is one of their prerequisites, but it went terribly because I wasn't aware of the required interview so I missed it!!!) Right now, I'm working part-time as a server while I continue taking more subjects to be able to apply to other schools if I don't get in UNC.

Anyway... I'm just really hoping for the best. It is what it is! Good luck to all of us that are still waiting!!

That's what I was just thinking. LOL Hopefully not! Would you also mind sharing your stats?
