Congrats guys, I'm so freaking jealous!!! Stupid alternate list.
 
Why didn't I get a call from the admin director.
I thought that the admin director was going to call us to give us the good news that we have been accepted.

Is it because I called the admissions office?
Not that I really care pshhhtt... but whatev. ( I am very articulate)
Did anyone else who interviewed on 10/17 get a call?
 
Anyone get an interview invite for Creighton this past week? Im still waiting patiently.....really hoping to get one!
 
I received an acceptance letter today which was dated November 11. However, I never received a phone call. When I read on this forum that people who interviewed on the same day as I did were getting acceptance calls, then I just figured that I was either rejected or wait-listed. I just thought that I would wait for the inevitable wait list letter in the mail. To my surprise I found a BIG letter packet in my mail today and when I opened the letter I didn't see a letter notifying me that I was on the wait list. Rather, it said that I was accepted. Wow. This acceptance is surprising to say the least. Congratulations to all those who have been accepted and good luck to those who are getting ready to interview at Creighton. It's a great school and I could see myself attending there. Especially because this is my first and only acceptance at the moment.🙂

CONGRATS!

I may be seeing you next year!
 
I just read the "real feel" temperatures for my stay: 29 and 10, 27 and 11, and last day 38 high. I will have to put on a ton of layers. I don't have any clothes for these temperatures...
 
still waiting on the interview invite.. complete around 9/20, OOS, high 3.7s gpa, over 30 MCAT, plenty of recent and diverse medical & nonmedical ECs, many recent science courses w/3.9+ gpa, per Garland Jarmon I'm a competitive applicant.

Hopefully they're simply backed up a bit and will offer more interview invites soon. Or maybe Sept is too late to complete a secondary with my stats.
 
I never thought I'd be posting on this thread, yet here I am. Maybe it isn't all about the numbers.

Anyone else interviewing on 12/5?

And congrats to all the acceptances; I really like everything I've read about this school so far.
 
Can anyone please tell me how the creighton interview is and what kind of things they may ask? Thanks in advance

Definitely check the interview feedback, but my interview (and everyone else in my group, it seemed) was really laid back. They want to get to know you. No difficult questions.
 
Renny, if you don't mind me asking, when were you complete at Creighton and when did you receive an interview invite? Thanks!

I was complete on 7/25, and received the invite yesterday on 11/19, so it took them almost 4 months to come around to it, haha.
 
Just got an interview invite! Going to be interviewing on 12/12! So Excited
 
Very nice place. I can see why so many of you spoke highly of Creighton. It definitely deserves the praise. It's a long interview day, but in the end I think I would be very happy there.
 
Is it possible that they strongly prefer Jesuits?

Like actual Jesuit Priests (not just Catholics)? If you were a Jesuit priest applying to Creighton, I think they would strongly prefer you because you have demonstrated interest in the school's mission.
 
Just double checking... but everyone understands that you can't just decide to "be" a Jesuit, right? You have to actually join the order as a Priest, Brother, etc. I don't know of any Jesuit medical students at Creighton, but maybe there is one. I think there may be a few in the faculty (SJ/MDs).

Jesuit is not the same thing as Catholic.
 
Yeah I agree.

I am an atheist, and my student host was agnostic.

But I think that we both embodied the value system at creighton. I was actually worried that they would try to infuse religion into every aspect of their program...but they did not...It was as though they were a secular school (with the exception of a church on campus and a couple crosses that I noticed in their hospital)
 
Does anyone know if anything is going on at Creighton or where the admissions committee is at? Are they done interviewing? It doesn't seem like anything has been going on since November?
 
Yea I'm wondering the same thing. No word from Creighton for me...
 
i emailed a couple days ago about my status. they said i was still under review and to feel free to send updates.
 
How should updates be sent? Email, mail?

Just got an interview invite today, actually it's pretty late, so I guess yesterday. I was complete 11/6. I'm very excited!
 
For those of you who just got invites, if you don't mind me asking, what are your stats?

Jedi hand trick. You do not want the stats on here. You want the MSAR stats on accepted applicants which are:

Overall GPA: 3.8
Science GPA: 3.8

MCAT

VR: 10
PS: 10
BS: 10
WS: P

Awesome! That's great news for Creighton.

Did any other accepted students get an email to apply for scholarships?
Click to expand...

Yes, and I got a snail mail Christmas card😀 Very classy
 
I just declined my interview offer from yesterday and withdrew my application...so one of you lucky people is going to get an email soon. Good luck!
 
jgberken said:
Yeah...but the scholarship app is due Jan 26...so we have work to do during christmas break 😛

Is this a deadline for everyone or for you? Maybe once you got your acceptance they then gave you a deadline for the scholarship app?



Ugh. I'm supposed to be notified before Christmas and I don't think the interview went that well. I hope it's not another wait-list, but whatever happens, happens.

I don't exactly know. This was what they said:
If you are interested in receiving the Medical Dean's Diversity Scholarship please complete and submit an application no later than January 26, 2009.

Hey all...glad to see that a lot of you guys are getting acceptances. Just wanted to say, if anyone who's recently been accepted has any questions about the school, feel free to PM me. Anyway, best of luck with the rest of the interviewing process and have a great Christmas.
