Sorry to disappoint, but I fall into neither of those categories.

II as well. 31S, around a 3.8, and was complete sometime last week. Interviewed here last year too. Was impressed with the meal served for lunch, which is obviously the most important aspect of the interview day.

Thank you. I submitted my secondary on 07/01 and was complete on 08/01.

Interview invite! I love the Phoenix area and have family there. Remember they have a partnership in Phoenix! I told them that. Maybe I got some love from that? Good luck everyone!

OOS, stats on my MDApps

 

[AquiVoy13]

Interview invite as well!! Anyone know about a student host program?

 

[SixStringPsych]

wooo interview! Nebraska is a long ways away for me. Also interested in student hosts if anyone knows anything about that.

OOS, no Jesuit background

 

[pyrrion89]

Interview invite as well! Anyone have any idea what the post interview statistics are/how generous they are handing out interviews?

Someone from the 2012-2013 school thread said Creighton offered admission requests to ~62% of the candidates they interviewed. If this is indeed true, this seems very high and great news.

Looks to be about what US News info says as well.

Interviewed: 668
Accepted: 423

About 63.3%

😀

To those of you who have II, when were you guys complete? I was complete 7/25 and wondering when I should expect to hear back

 

[Owla]

II here as well. Really excited for this one. Anyone else interviewing on 9/6?! For those interested, I was complete 7/12 and I am from the midwest. Also, does anyone know if they do a student host program?

I was complete on 7/24. Good luck!

 

[Noggin]

I am worried that I am not complete here even though I have submitted a long time ago. I got a complete email, although when I check the status on the secondary it makes it seem like I am not complete as it talks about them still needing to see if I meet the LOR requirement. Is this normal even though I have received an email saying that I was complete?

 

[gocanes1990]

i am worried that i am not complete here even though i have submitted a long time ago. I got a complete email, although when i check the status on the secondary it makes it seem like i am not complete. It looks like they have all of my lors and stuff, but there is nothing saying that i am "complete" it says

"thank you for submitting your secondary application. Your file will now be reviewed to ensure you have submitted letters of recommendation that meet creighton university's admission requirements. Please review creighton's letters of recommendation requirements. This process usually takes 3-4 weeks to complete. We appreciate your patience. The office of medical admissions will notify you by email once your application is complete. However, you are free to check your status via this site at your leisure."

I think you have nothing to worry about. If you got the complete email, then you're complete. The same thing is shown on my status page too.

 

[SixStringPsych]

Got email about student hosting today

 

[rosaceae]

I selected 9/6 too! I might stay with a friend who goes there but they do have the student host program (they sent out the email this morning)

if you're not complete because of letters, I'd recommend calling them to check. They're very picky on the letter requirements.

If I got an email saying that I was complete then I'm assuming my letters worked?

same question here...

I just looked at the email. Thanks for the heads up! That's a plus knowing someone that goes there. I guess the student host program is a cheaper option than a hotel room though.

I was complete 8/2 and did not get an II, just deafening silence. Maybe someday soon, one can hope!

OOS 37/3.9

It definitely is! My friend said he did the student host program and that it was a really great experience. You really get to talk to the med students more and see how they live. If I wasn't staying with my friend I would have definitely saved money by going through the student host program 🙂

It is probably just your completion date, with those stats I can't imagine you won't get one. Probably just the next batch! 👍

 

[HoopHappy]

I will see you on the 6th!

8/2/? Dude, it's only been a week.

 

[wombthereitis]

Interviewing on 8/30! My flight comes in at 3 PM.. Most likely doing the student host program because I don't know anyone at Creighton.. Good luck to everyone!!!!

I was complete 8/2 and got an interview invite along with the other people. It seems like I got lucky 😳

OOS, non-jesuit

 

[bananapeel]

Does anybody have any recommendations about trip planning? I am wondering if it's possible for me to catch a flight home at 5:20 pm, after the interview (interview ends at 3pm)

I booked through southwest, but I'm leaving the morning following interview. It was the cheapest flight at $500 (CA to NE) and I looked quite a bit.

 

[Redpancreas]

I was complete on the 16th of July. Still no word 🙁

yeah mine was around the same amount from CA as well! Going to Washington D.C. a few weeks later so my money is just slipping away!

been complete even earlier.. and nothing yet..

 

[drces]

Is it safe to say that this school emphasizes primary care?

No! It definitely doesn't emphasize any specialty. They have a surgery residency at CUMC.

 

[LambdaChiGuy]

Anyone else interviewing on the 30th?
