Has anyone heard from UNC Chapel Hill about the Summer 2010 start for the ABSN program?
When I spoke to the Dean of Admission just after last cycle she said they had about 600 applicants. I was on the waitlist last cycle and had an interview with her in order to review my application at the time. She said that it was the largest number of applicants that they had ever had apply to the programs and that there were many qualified applicants they could not accept. I am sure that this cycle will not be all that different considering the economy and general job outlook.

I agree. You said you were applying to the regular BSN program. Are notifications coming out for the regular BSN at the same time as the Accelerated BSN?
Last cycle it seemed like in the threads that I was reading online here that the ABSN folks were getting their letters a bit before the regular BSN applicants. The folks that were posting seemed to be mainly candidates for the ABSN program so that could be why it seemed that way. I know I received my BSN waitlist letter very late.

I am also applying for the regular BSN. I applied last cycle and was waitlisted. After reading some of the previous discussions on other threads I went ahead and scheduled time with the Dean of Admissions. She discussed my application with me and was quite helpful.
I also spoke to the admissions office and was told that letters would be sent out by the end of March. Last cycle it was extremely agonizing because of the new application system and letters came out late. I am hoping that it won't be the case this time around. Those of us moving to the area will be hard pressed to find somewhere to live very quickly!
