Hey! I haven't found any threads for the 2011-2012 applicants to the Creighton Distance program. If I missed it, could someone please send me the link? If not, lets start one!

Has anyone heard anything about interview dates yet for the distance program? I know some schools have already started invites and I'm just concerned because I haven't finished my supplemental yet.
The priority deadline isn't even until Nov 1, I know from reading the thread from last year that the first round of interviews were in December.
hey guys, i just added this school to my pharmcas, but im applying to the campus pathway ( i didn't see a separate thread for this). Anyways, mind sharing why you guys chose distance over campus?
thanks
I finished all supplemental stuff for Creighton in late July. If I remember correctly, I checked the box that said no preference in regards to attending the campus or going for the distance pathway. The latter would be nice even though I'm not sure how effective it would be (would be the first time I have done it).
Currently, I've been getting periodic emails from Creighton saying the same thing: "we're still reviewing your application".
I just got a letter from creighton with some like brochures and admissions information, did anyone else get this?
(I barely added creighton to my pharmcas and it was only sent out this Monday but I think they sent the letter before I even added the school to pharmcas)
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!!
So here is my situation.
I currently go to a pharmacy school, but the program is a bit sub par. I really want to apply to the long distance program, but don't know if my attempt will be futile.
I didn't get the chance to retake the pcat's b/c I didn't think of reapplying since I got into a school, but I can retake them in January. My current pcat score is beyond horrid when compared to others. Its basically below 50 , in the 30's.
My undergrad GPA is above 2.8 but below 3.0, but my grades in pharmacy school are currently at about 3.5.
I guess the biggest question is, do you think I have a chance at being picked for an interview? b/c my undergrad grades are not top notch, but I feel that I can prove that I am competent enough to be in the program because I am doing well at an accredited pharmacy school.
Problem is I don't know how they score points to obtain an interview, so I'm just wondering if they even consider the fact that getting into and going to a pharmacy school is good enough to get an interview. I know under what conditions I can excel and know that I can do exceptionally well in the long distance program
I'm sorry for such the long message, I really want a second opinion on if I should apply or not. I'm unhappy with the program I'm in right now, and want to attend the long distance program.
The priority deadline is fast approaching. Let's hope some interview invitations go out not long after. I'd LOVE to have an interview the first date. Post if you get an invite!
My impatience got the best of me so I called the admissions office regarding interview status, and they said they just started processing applications. Annoying - since I was so ready to get notified on November 1st like last year's posts indicated. Anyway - post if you hear anything!

When I check my status on their supplemental page: it says: " No Status found."
Uh-oh. Hopefully it's because our applications are being reviewed.
I just submitted my PharmCAS app, but my status doesn't say "no status found". It says something to the effect "thank you for applying, we're checking..."
I meant when you log into the supplemental page through this link and when you click on "Check status":

My status has said "No Status Found" all day today too. I saw that my PCAT scores were finally received yesterday - my application was updated yesterday morning, though it still said that it was incomplete. Hopefully they are updating the applications today because that was the last thing I was waiting for. It sounds like a few of us are in the same boat...
I'm coming from Raleigh, NC. I flew out in May for a campus visit and we stayed at the Magnolia Hotel, which is probably where I will stay again. It's an old restored hotel, and the staff were really helpful. They had a shuttle from the airport, and they brought me back and forth to the school as well (I just called them when I was ready to be picked up again). It's a little pricier than the chain hotels, but since I'm already familiar with it, I think it's my best bet - I don't want any more stress than necessary. It's also walking distance to several downtown restaurants, which was nice.Where are you guys/girls from? Are you flying in? Where are you staying? I'll be flying in from Pittsburgh but haven't booked a hotel yet. Does anyone know any close hotels?
I didn't hear anything today either I didn't submit my supplemental until the 1st, so hopefully they just haven't gotten to me yet. Oh man.Congratulations on your interviews! Do you mind posting your stats if you received an interview invite?
I'm still waiting anxiously for mine, if they haven't sent out all of them for this round that is
Thanks for the hotel info... I will definitely check that out and probably book it today. Is this also where you stayed when you were on campus this summer? Do they have an extended rate?I'm a P1 at Creighton. First off congrats on the interview. The Best Western Seville is right by campus, with a shuttle that will drive you around.
