Thank you! After all the ups and downs of the application cycle, it's hard to imagine we all have to wait almost an entire year to get going on this! I want to start next week!

why didn't you wait until financial packages were awarded before withdrawing? it probably would have increased your chances of getting aid from mcw, or wherever else you're going to attend.

Bc I have no intention of going here and I don't want to hold a spot that could go to someone else right away. And I don't have $100 to spend for something useless right now even if its refundable
 
For those of you who called in to find out about your acceptance, how long did it take to receive the official letter in the mail? Just trying to figure out when I should start stalking the mailman! 😀

Exactly one week for me. I'm on west coast.

I'm right next door in Iowa, so unless they send the letter by Pony Express, I think I should have it in a day or two. Can't wait! That letter definitely deserves a place of honor on the fridge! :laugh:
 
2dogs - they made a decision on my file 11/1, the letter was dated 11/6 and I got the letter on 11/9 (in Chicago)
 
Hahahaha so I just randomly remembered how one of you guys on my interview (eyes on you 1289 or Errant) opened the door to a closet in the hospital, thinking it was the hallway door. And I am dying hahahaha 😀 who was that?!

haha i do remember that. it broke some of that awkward/nervous tension. wasn't me though. on this interview day I was still dealing with an open cut right under my nose from a spill I took running a few days before. combined with the Neosporin I had layered on it, it basically looked like a booger, super attractive. i was trying to remain inconspicuous 😉
 
I'm about to send in my deposit and am wondering about what clinical site to choose: Omaha or Phoenix. Any insight as to which one offers better clinical training, where most students choose to go? Thanks

my student host told me the Phoenix program is really popular, esp bc a lot of students come from warmer states and want to get out of Omaha by the third year. i'm sure it's also a lot more diverse there.

also i'm sure you know this, but keep in mind that indicating your interest in it now is no guarantee of anything, since only ~25 (i think) students get to go there

The advice I was given was to select the Phoenix campus because it gets overbooked, and then it's easy to get the Omaha campus if you decide you'd prefer it.
 
Guess I should have been patient and waited just one more day. The acceptance letter was waiting for me when I got home from work! OK, now it's starting to feel real!
 
I'm non-traditional, BA religion then Jesuit Volunteer Corps for two years, then indie post-bac course work.

I'm really hoping for here or SLU. However, my MCAT score was no bueno (8-9-9 = 26). (Religion BA GPA: 3.74, Post-Bac GPA: 3.82) My app is very strong w/ com-service, shadowing, clinical volunteering, etc, but weak with numbers^. I'm low confidence of getting in anywhere this cycle.

My 2º for CU was completed 10/29....

Can anyone comment on:
- How long it took from complete 2º to notification of interview invitation?
- Has anyone with a lower (25-28) MCAT been invited for an interview yet?
- Is there a typical day of the weak that notifications are sent out?

Thanks!

Creighton tends to accept people with lower MCAT scores, as long as the rest of their app is good. I know at least one person in my class who got a 26 (on their second attempt) and several people who are in the 27-28 range. Completing your secondary so late is going to decrease your chances though. Also, it will probably take a while for them to make a decision on your application due to the holiday associated breaks coming up.

Alrighty. Thanks for your honest insight!

Interviewed 10/27... hoping to hear some good news this week! this waiting is painful!
 
My application was reviewed but no interview invite was sent but neither was a rejection. Essentially, my application was put on hold. Should I take this as a rejection??? Anyway to get my application off hold and an II???
THANKS!

Why would you take this as a rejection? It just means they didn't see anything spectacular at this point. Maybe send them an update to make them know you are serious about the school.

How do you know your application was reviewed? Did you call them or did you get a change on your status page?
 
I called and that is what the admissions counselor said..I will probably write a letter of intent but other than that just wait it out. My status never changed and it had been 2 months since I went complete.
 
its been exactly 4 weeks since the 10/27 interviews.... probably won't see the letters disappear until after thursday this week or next week right?!? going crazy here

I think that you just have to wait it out. They will send out another batch of interviews at the end of Jan. Also, they will send out a big batch of rejections at the end of Dec.
 
Just got ACCEPTED!!!!! Letters disappeared and I called in. I interviewed on 10/27. Good luck to the others who interviewed on the same day as me. 😀

You called once a month and said what? Did you give them updates?
