Anyone receive an invite for the November 15th interview for the distance program? Campus students have not heard anything yet either, and they interview on November 22.

I am still applying. Does the supplemental have an essay?
It has two.
I loved everything about the interview process. They fill you in with all the information you need to know and more. They are very caring. Also it was nice to have two current distance students there with us all day. It was great being able to talk to them about the program. I'm not sure if I'm able to say exactly how many people were there interviewing, but it was less than I expected to be there. It's still early in the application cycle.

Does anyone know what the average GPA & PCAT scores are for applicants accepted into the last few classes of Creighton's distance program? I couldn't find anything on their website regarding this, and nobody from the school has responded to my emails requesting this info. Aside from competitive GPA/PCAT stats, what else does the program tend to look for in successful distance program applicants?
Thanks...
Thanks...

Class of 2013 data will only be available by someone who has attend a distance interview on 11/15. They tell you they look for well rounded students, but never define what that means. Pharmacy experience is worth more than volunteering.

Thanks for the info. I still have to take the PCAT, but does anyone know if Creighton will only accept a certain minimum score in any particular section? Also, if I haven't started working as a pharmacy tech yet, do you think it's too late to do so to still have the experience look good to Creighton? (Especially since I understand the application deadline is March 1st)
I have a friend who in enrolled in the campus pathway, and has told me that there is no PCAT minimum. You do need to have it completed by January 2014 at the latest. For 2013, they were admitting students as late as June 27th according to the 2017 distance thread. And according to another thread on SDN, they admit nearly 50% of wait listed students. For pharmacy tech experience, as long as you have some and you application shows that it's on going, it has to help. You will be amazed at how many people apply that have never worked in a pharmacy and have no idea what they are getting into.
I would like to know this as well.

I'm hoping to "restart" this thread for those of us who have already applied to the Distance Program at Creighton University. If anyone has anything to add with any recent development in their admission or interview status, it will be greatly appreciated. Or perhaps we can just provide each other with moral support. Good luck to all those who will be interviewing on the 25th. There is only one more interview session in late April after 3/25.

I read last year's thread, and it looks like the alternated have a good chance of getting in. But you might have to wait until summer. Good luck!Hello! I'm just anxious waiting on when the alternates will be contacted
Yes, I saw that too. I called to update some info on my application and asked when the alternates are reviewed and it's during the summer. So there is still hope. I know they do not interview many people. So I'm hoping to receive an acceptance. But if not there is always next year

No. I submitted my supplemental on the day of the deadline, and I am still waiting. Perhaps I applied too late.

I was invited for an interview for the campus pathway, but I emailed them today asking to be switched to the distance pathway. Not sure if that's doable?
When did you receive the offer?

Ill be there on the 22nd for my interview.
I was told alternates will not hear back until the EARLIEST at the end of May (they kept emphasizing earliest).
I do not know how many slots have been filled. I tried to ask how many were on the alternate list and they could not tell me that, so I think they can't really give numbers right now. Sucks, but is understandable.
I think it will be a while before we hear anything :-(

They made another interview session for tomorrow. There is a running total further back in the thread. I believe they have interviewed 95 so far.
I suspect most of us will not hear back until much later than May unfortunately. :-/
Did you apply anywhere else?
I'm an alternate and am going crazy for the wait. But I've waited this long (since november), I know I can wait these last few weeks. Good luck to all who are interviewing today! It's an awesome experience and wonderful school.
I interviewed at Iowa as well, but I was not accepted. I should have applied to more schools. If I end up having to do this again next year I will add some backup plans to the mix. I had my heart set on Creighton and U of I though... :/ How about you?
This thread has more information on the interview dates, but basically:
http://forums.studentdoctor.net/threads/creighton-university-class-of-2018.1041339/
Quoting myself on that thread:
"11/15: 13 per alk211611
01/24: 19 per mr2012
02/18: 8 per me
03/35: 24 per Onlypharm"
Add:
4/22: 31 per PianoGirl7
5/09: 15 per ladypharma'18
Which is 110 interviewees, which makes them only 5 shy of their supposed goal of 115.

I applied to 5 schools and got an interview at 4. I am wait listed at 3 now. I was accepted at one
I probably would've applied more broadly as I do not have the best stats (namely my GPA), but I pretty much applied like 12/1 or something, which was pretty late.
Ultimately, every interview I have gotten I have considered a blessing. I really thought everyone would throw away my application without even looking at anything but my GPA. I am happy, even though I feel like the 'wait-list Queen'. Hopefully, you won't have to do it again next year
