UNC & Duke ABSN- Spring 2014

[Rthom09]

I am new to the forum and wanted to see if there were any others applying to either UNC or Duke's ABSN program for the Spring 2014 entry?

I know this has been discussed in other threads, but I am a little apprehensive about the tuition at Duke, esp. now since they have done away with the repayment program they once had. On the flip side, I would love to end up at UNC, but know that it is very competitive!

Anyone out there currently in the UNC ABSN program that can speak to the application process/ chances of acceptance?

I am recent graduate (got my B.S. May of '12) with a 3.5/3.6 cum, all A's in pre-reqs except a B in stat and will be taking Micro this summer (but planning on an A!). I also have a lot of volunteer experience in non-clinical settings and clinical (currently work as PT tech, medical mission trip, and ~400 hours in other clinical settings- mostly in PT departments though)

Hello, I am applying for accelerated bsn. Deadline is Dec. 1. Unfortunately, since December 1 is Saturday, the post office is delivering my transcripts on December 2 (Monday). Do you think this will be considered late?

If I recall correctly I don't think it will be an issue. I believe they allow a few days after the deadline for transcripts.

Hey all! I've applied to Duke for Fall 2014. I was wondering how many days Duke Days lasts... is it a weekend (Sat-Sun) kind of thing? I know I'm thinking too far ahead, but I like being able to plan and anticipate. :) Congrats to all who were accepted, and good luck to those that are applying for Fall 2014!

Duke Days is just a one day thing :). I think they're usually scheduled for Fridays or Mondays so people can make a weekend out of it if they want to explore the area a bit (you pick the date that works for you). Good luck!
